    Personally I like the 5 spoke. The CS wheels look a little too busy in comparison.

    CS all the way...better looking, lighter, stronger...a no-brainer.

    The 5 spoke look a lot like an Enzo wheel except they are 5 bolt instead on center bolt. They are also easier to clean. The holes are big enough to reach behind the back part of the wheel.

    I agree. With all the air ducts, spoilers, etc on the 430, the CS wheels are too busy. I do however think the CS wheels are the best looking wheel for a 348.

    5 spoke for the f430 lookswise.......but the CS wheels seem better in terms of functionality. However, unless you're a track enthusiast, you probably won't feel the difference so go with the better look.

    Both stock wheels on a 430 are nice. I do like the 5 spoke. Looks a little more edgy…21 Century looking where as the challenge wheel seems a little dated. BBS had done that style to death.

    5 spoke when you order the CCM, CS style to hide the tiny standard steel rotors.

    Both wheel designs look great, but IMO the 5 spoke looks best overall.

    When I had a 360 modena with very attractive 3 piece modular wheels, I kept lusting after the CS wheels. Now I have a CS and my lust has been fulfilled. I think the CS wheels are stunning and the object of continual appreciative remarks by onlookers. In contrast, I hardly notice the wheels on the 430 but I do think they go fine with the car. Its just that they arn't 'stand out' wheels in any sense IMHO. I've seen CS wheels on a 430 and, yes, I think they look a bit better, but strangely, I also think they look out-of-place on a 430.

    very hard to judge them in the pics. imo the 5 spoke wheel looks better than CS wheel in the picture. CS wheel looks better in person but not impressive in pictures. also CS wheel needs the ''right'' ride height to make them stand out.

    That's tough. I came into the thread thinking 5-spoke but in the picture you posted at least, the CS rims look better imho

    Wow, this everyone seems to be 50/50 on this. I like the 5 spoke better between these red cars. However, the F430 I would order would be black with the challange wheels.

    Challenge is the way to go. Lighter, stronger and for me, better looking, though watch those kerbs.
