Jason, the difference between the Thrux rims and aftermarket (Sun or Excel) rims is probably not a lot as the Thrux rims are already lighter than the Bonnie/Scram ones. But you could always go for the tubeless option (Alpina system), like they do in the Italian Thruxton Cup. You would loose 600 grams (1 and a third pounds) in the front and 900 grams (two pounds) in the rear I'm actually considering it for my T100.
