DZUS fastened MOON DISC wheel covers?

Steel alloys will vary. Here is a discussion of 'alloy' wheels. There are three types of manufacture:

Then there is aluminum vs magnesium vs carbon fiber.

So I see there are 3 different type of manufacturing processes for Aluminum "alloy" wheels with cast being the heaviest and weakest. Is it safe to say they are lighter than steelies for a given size?

Don't know/above my pay grade.

Last I checked the lightest [aluminum] wheel overall was the Center Line Convo Pro. Compare to that.

If your aluminum wheels are rigid,and don't flex at all,you could drill and tap for the 6-hole MOONs.They're just as aero and a fraction of the price of the 3-hole Dzus-type.

they do, the aluminum tabs are +$10 per set

It depends on the individual wheel. A forged aluminum alloy or magnesium “hence, mag” wheel is generally going to be lighter than most steel wheels, but most aluminum alloy wheels are cast aluminum, and are designed for looks more than optimal performance.
