I'm no wheel expert .. So, I'm not sure you can go cheaper .. my reasoning was go a little lighter where the weight really counts at the rim for a marginal £ add.
As for eyelets I believe .. there use depends on the overall design of the rim. In this case I think BOR may be using them to spread load over a very thin wall rim.
