aluminum is lighter than steel.
adding beadlocks is adding more weight, so naturally, a steel beadlock wheel is heaviest.
unmounted wheel weight is usually available from manufacturers.

For the typical OEM aluminum wheels, the weight saving vs a plain steel is minimal if anything. Look at how much more material they had to use and you'll realize why.
Some nice forged aluminum wheels can save quite a few pounds.
I think my steel beadlock rings added 20lbs a tire. But I'm not sure, I can't exactly remember.

I just went from a set of Crager Steel Street lock wheels to a set of Pro Comp Alloys. Both are 15x8. The Crager is 31 LBS the Procomp is 20LBS, used a certified scale at work.
