You know I have been looking for the perfect set of wheels for some time and I find myself coming back to the five spokes every time. Thanks for the input folks.

Thanks everyone.

Sevenevez just be sure not to hit bare aluminum with anything harder than aluminum or it will be near impossible to remove such a deep scratch. Aircraft remover is awesome on paint, powder coat, but it sucks on skin :-/
