I'm considering getting light-weight rims at some point, and I wanted to what your opinions are on which would have the least impact on drag/aerodynamics. I understand that, ideally, I'd have wheel covers for best aerodynamics, but I'd probably only use those for extended highway driving.

Anyway, this question has more to do with the basic design of the rim, and which design has the best native aerodynamics. Basically, does an increased number of spokes always equal increased drag?

For reference, the two possibilities I am looking at are Volk TE37 (six-spoke) and RE30 (14-spoke). Both would save ~ 5 lbs per corner in rotational mass, but it would be nice to also reduce the drag as much as possible. My current, stock rims are 12-spoke.
