Actually, this is not true. It is possible to find aftermarket wheels that are both stong and light - these are not mutually exclusive attributes. Furthermore, using a lighter wheel tends to enhance overall performance and feel accross the board.
Now, the issue of aesthetic quality is a whole other can of worms... I prefer the web spokes.

Given your two options, I would definitely go with the ASA AR1's ..

Personally, I'm not fond of either the Crown Spoke or the Web Spoke. I sold my Crown Spoke and got these:

They are light weight, rotary forged (so they should be strong), and not very expensive.
To me, they go well with the MINI and have a rather classic hot rod look to them. This isn't the best photo of them. I need to take another someday.
