Agreed. My rims weighed in at 23# per (27# box, less 4# for the box).

That provides roughly 9.X# of weight savings per wheel in 'raw' weight. Somewhere over at ToV there is a formula for calculating the rolling weight savings for inertial and rotational mass, which is significantly higher than the raw weight as it affects performance and handling.
