I found this info we had looked at not too long ago, different tyres, but something to add to your list - these are race tyres btw

Sorry, can't post publicly the tyre manufacturer or rim other than std. But it will give you an idea of the 11 spoke weight with race wets/slicks (quite heavy tyres actually) vs a very light weight alternative rim, 2kg difference

I would say the mk2 11 spoke rim is about 9.6-9.7kg.

7.5j 'xyz' wheel & 'abc' race slick 16.9kg

7.5j Std 11 spoke wheel with 'abc' wet 18.9 (quite a heavy wet tyre and very similar weight to 'abc' slick)
7.5j Std 11 spoke wheel with 'def' wet 18.7
