Sapim Laser butted spokes
Brass nipples rear/alloy front <<< psh, alloy rear nips as well if we're really gonna do this

This comes out to 1410 grams claimed but will be well over $1000. Alloy wheels would drop the price and probably lower the weight.

Then I see something like the 1460 gram Wabi Sub 15's for three hundred or whatever they are charging now and just can't justify the price of custom. Wabi's are only 13.2 mm internal width though, but still.
