There may be some 'reps' around as well, but the OE solidspoke or 'Look' versions of the Turbo II wheel are listed in the usual place.

And looking at the weights of those wheels, there isn't much difference.
Indeed, as the effect of rotating mass is more pronounced the further away you move from the center point, the tire weight will have more effect than the slight difference in wheel weight.
So a Turbo Look II solidspoke 10J ET 65 (weighing 13kg) with 265/35 tire
vs
a Turbo II hollowspoke 11J ET45 (weighing at least 11.9kg) with 295/30 tire
.....I bet you can't tell the difference with those two.

My point is that both of those rear wheel/tire pairings are similarly heavy, and both will have a similar effect on acceleration and braking.
Just because it's called a hollowspoke, doesn't make it light, especially when wearing 285/30 or 295/30
If weight is a not a concern, then enjoy yourself.
