@AJ, one place to improve unsprung weight without performance or durability drawbacks is in the cassette. With todays giant cassettes, you can easily save over 200g in the cassette alone, going from a heavy to a lightweight one.
The other one is using tooled axles instead of tool free ones, but that seems to have become the standard anyway(probably becasue it is cheaper for manufacturers).
