I'm shortly getting a rear wheel built up and considering these, partly just to match my Mavic rim up front
It's for a gravel bike and needs to take 32-50mm tyres (tubeless), so I'm looking at 20-23mm width and hoping for something light-ish
I can find zero info on the above, not even certain about the weights as Mavic don't list on their site
Anyone got any experience with either?
I may just end up going with DT Swiss something, but the ones I'd want aren't in stock with the builder

Depends how tough your gravel is but the above fits your criteria.
@nixie yes, I was thinking the R500 may make the most sense. Quite heavy though at 495g.
I'd rather something closer to 400g, if possible. I was considering the DT XR331, which is 380g although only 20mm internal and that's almost suspiciously light.
SJS is where the wheel is being built, as it's onto a Rohloff hub, which they've just serviced. So I'm a bit constrained by their stock (which doesn't include, say the XR361 or XM401, both 22.5mm internal)
Pretty sure my mate has just built up 2 A1022's onto XT hubs for his gravel bike - they have turned out to be a fair chunk lighter than the Aksiums that were fitted before. He's managed to fit a road 11 cassette to it as well be getting a couple of mm machined off the big sprockets' spider (hadn't realised MTB cassettes are shorter than road 11).
Thanks fossy, I may go for the A 1022's
SJS have also now got back to me to say both are decent
Any more thoughts? I'll prob order tomorrow
