S-lites vs. crown spokes

Hey guys I was just wondering if any of you have had any experience in a mini with s-lites and a mini with crown spoke wheels. For those of you who have, is there any handling difference between the two?

i dont have any experience with either one. but i think the s-lites look MUCH better than the crown spokes..i like the looks of the s-lites.
but i dont think there should be a huge difference in handling. it's mainly the tires that does the job.

I would say that they would "handle" the same. My personal opinion on the wheels is, why in the world would they take the S lite (clears throats and holds back) and put a center cap on it to make it even worse. Really?

Crown spokes save a few pounds, anyway...
