What kind of parts are we talking about?
A lot of solid parts can be made out of billet aluminum (such as flywheels, drive shaft, etc).
Body parts made from carbon fiber are extremely light and extremely strong (not to mention extremely expensive )
Most exhaust parts are made from stainless steel.

If you're going for strong, steel (stainless preferably). If you're going for light and strong, aluminum.

Most of the aftermarket wheels nowadays are made from aluminum.
