1800g for a wheelset is not too bad considering it’s for a 150mm travel bike. The flashier Rhythm wheels are closer to 1500-1600g. Might find some on eBay.
Bars could be lighter, seatpost could be lighter as well, however those are not big gains. My Bonty Race Lite seatpost weighted 250g, Thomson is similar as well.

Those pedals are no jump from the wellgo mg1’s. I could save 400g with finishing kit + cassette. I know it’s no fuel ex, but a fuel ex should be sub 25lbs. I’m just after 27lbs
25lbs for a Fuel Ex that would have to be the top of the range model then. I had a Top Fuel 7 with full xt with brakes and cassette, Easton ea90 stem, rest was Bonty Race Lite kit + wheels, ti Bel Air, Reba etc etc and that was 26lbs weighted on fishing scales. It was not a light build but there was nothing that heavy on it apart from Time Z pedals.
Do you know how much your complete bike weights at the moment?
