I'm with COcyclist. The original Moon Eyes attach with small screws and fit on the alloys so you can keep the low weight. They are aluminum.

I have the hubcaps you posted there on my Previa and they are very thin and easy to dent. I have had to fix them a couple of times because the "Grip Tite Fasteners" weren't gripping very tight any more. They needed to be bent out a bit. That said, they are inexpensive and I have not lost any. I would buy them again though, at $60 a set they are worth it but if I had alloys it would be the Moon Eyes.
