I look at it the other way around. I plan on autocrossing my car, but it is first and foremost my daily driver. As a daily driver stuff happens - pot holes, debris, raised sections, surrounded by curbs. Autocross courses are generally flat with cones as the only 'hazards'. So I bought wheels lighter than stock for autocross but strong enough for my personal DD peace of mind. If I were just autocrossing the car I would have bought even lighter cheaper wheels.

Maybe check into the manufacturing process and load capacity of the wheels along with the weight, cost, and looks, before deciding.
