Congrats! That's a nice one, with already good aerodynamics btw.

To answer your question: light weight or aero, I would say: both!
But it seems that's not an option with the rims you show.

With good LLR tires on the greenline rims you will probably get a good result.

What I did: lightweight & aerodynamic forged Audi rims with a taller tire that has a smaller tread and LLR. That has to be the holy grail to succes ON PAPER. However, I have no practical experience with them yet because I still have to change them. But it was much cheaper than a set of new Skoda rims with standard tire size.

Here you have the whole range of lightweight audi rims that you can find second hand:
