CS or 5 spoke wheels? Pic to compare

SilverArrow hit the nail right on the head. The CS pattern has been beat to death, it's on everything. The 5 spoke is a fresh design (well, as fresh as you can get in a wheel these days) and is more "Enzo-like".

 

Ordered 5 spoke

 

The following are my observations as I had both types of wheels on my red 430.

The five spokes bring out the more edgier, sportier styling of the 430 and the CS tend to soften the lines of the car and makes it look more "classic". Contrary to what some of you have suggested, the CS wheels, even though a "busier" design, has a tendency to simplify the look of the 430, not make it more "busy".

The five spokes accentuates the smallness of the brake rotors, while the CS wheels does not make the rotors look small.

The five spokes makes the car look "lighter" with all those spaces in the wheel, and the CS wheels puts more visual weight in the wheel area and makes the car look more stable.

In person, the five spokes are more two dimensional and flat while the CS wheel has a more interesting three dimensional shape to it.

While the five spokes are supposedly patterned after the enzo wheel, it is a simpler more two dimensional design.

Having said all that, I don't think you can go wrong with either wheel types.

 

5 spoke

 

5 on the 430, cs on the cs

 

CS for me. I put the CS wheels on my 360 and it has a much more aggressive look. The 5-spokes look nice too, but not as "racy" to me.

 

FIVE! PERIOD!

 

I think it is very depend on the options, if u select the carbon seats and bigger disc is better to choice the challenger wheel which make the car more aggressive. On the other side if u select everything standard I think the 5 spokes are more classic and elegant.

 

Very tough call, although I'd say the five spoke edges out the CS ones. I suppose it depends what you want attention drawn to. When I look at the pictures my eyes first go to the CS wheels, otherwise the five spoke sort of compliment the 430..but they both look good.
