An italian company called Alpina developed a system of sealing spokes on wire wheels originally for supermoto use; but they also make specific wheels for the Sport Classic range so tubeless tyres (slicks or otherwise) can be used.

They quote the combined weight saving to be 1.5Kg. I have also seen people in the States using these wheels with four piston callipers. So it can be done.

I was aware of Alpina also that the system wasn't very good on most wheels that's the reason for the specific wheels they sell.
