Since you have a larger car, I think you need to go with thicker spokes to 'balance' the look of the vehicle. Thin spokes (to me) would appear to 'weak' on the car. Maybe a good looking 6-spoke with the spokes about 2-3" wide?
Normally I'd agree, but I plan on going with 15in drilled & slotted rotors from herehere, and powder-coated 4-pot calipers, when I step up to 19"-ers (next spring?!?!? keep your fingers crossed for me). So, I'm gonna want something that can show all that off

I've nevr liked 6-spoke wheels on cars. 5-lugs/5-spokes. Trucks, yeah. 6-lugs/6-spokes. On cars it upsets my sense of aesthetics[:-]

I agree. I've even found a place nearby that sells a fairly good imitation for about 1/3 what Antera wants for theirs

As long as NOTHING else breaks/siezes/falls off/needs repaired/replaced between now and then, yeah. Springtime. TryN ta save up to go with a BBK to compliment the 19" wheels, but I can't go TOO BBK, cause I'm gonna save the stock wheels for UHP A/S tires for winters...
