rbrowning i think this is a purely styling thing. 5 spokes looks better than 6 i guess.

The wheels will be balanced mechanically with either 5 or 6 or any number for that matter. So no issue with vibration or harmonics. A lower number of spokes say for an extreme example of 2 spokes would put significant stress on the spokes but from 4 or more spokes its not even a consideration.

Well worth pondering these sort of things its best way to find out something new
