I am considering selling my rims and going with a different look. Right now I am considering buying some OEM 6 spokes or ASA AR1s. Which ones do you guys think? Any comments or suggestions on others that may be similar?
SVT Rims or ASA AR1s or other

The only thing i dont like about the OE six spokes is that they weigh a hefty 24 pounds. I agree with what you say about the AR1's, I'm not a fan of their looks either but if its only between those two wheels, I'd pick the AR1s solely because they weigh 5lbs less per wheel.
Have you checked out the Assetto Gara's? Some of the colors on TireRack are on closeout for as low as $109/wheel and they weigh just under 18lbs. I have a set, they have held up well so far for me.

No idea, they look good but I can't get past that weight. Its going to hurt MPG and performance compared to something that's sub 20lbs

17X7" '04 SVT wheels - 24 lbs./wheel
And I'm not sure how different a look you were going for, but what about the Enkei EV5 in Hyper black? - 19.4 lbs. btw - at $159/wheel?

It makes a much larger difference than you would expect. I went with tires that were 3lbs lighter per tire and gained 3mpg! Rotational mass is a way different animal than you would expect.
