    The 5 spokes or the 7 spokes? opinions please

    Just got my old 5 spokes back after being on extensive loan to someone. So should I run the 5's or the 7's?

    5 spokes look much better and cleaner than the 7 spokes, suite the car a lot better.
    Couldn't think of anything good to put in here.

    I prefer the 5's, mainly because I don't like those other wheels

    7's make the car look a lot tougher in my opinion.

    5's make it look a bit soft.

    I prefer the look of the 7 spoke,more agressive looking as mentioned.

    I agree the 7's look busier, the 5's look cleaner.

    The prob is the 7's are on 205's and the 5's are on 195's and they spin in 2nd waaaay to easily.

    Go with the 5s. Don't like the 7s at all. Multistud is never a good look either.

    7's look ok on squared cars, but IMO 5-spokes rule on them

    Go with the 5s and swap the tyres over.

    5s for me,
    never been a big fan of the 7s,
    I'm louder than gods own revolver and twice as shiney.

    Well, 5s are easier to clean.

    Both look terrible IMO, but I'd opt for the 5 spokers if it was me.

    17s are just too big on a Nova. It'd go lower on 15s & handle & ride much nicer.
    it's a C20XE not a fookin Redtop FFS

    Sell the two sets of wheels. Then put the cash you make towards buying a set of 16/17" MOs in Anthracite/black.
