5 spoke or 7+

I'm going to get black 18's for my 02 and should I stick with my first thought of 5 spoke wheels or go for more spokes... lemme know what you guys think.

Depends, changing ones OEM rims in most cases is cosmedic and therefore a personal desire ... some change the rims for larger to close up some of the 4x4 gap our max's have. While some change the rim size for ride quality and again cosmedic reasons. I personally like the six spoke OEM SE rims (but thats just me) given our rotors are too small going with less spokes to me is an eye sore having to look at small rotors and gimpping looking calipers ... just my two cents but I would go with more spokes rather than less.

Meh, if you dont mind looking like a "gangsta".

Personally I love five spoke designs but like Ghost said itll make your brakes look tiny.

I think (hope) he was being VERY sarcastic on the gangster rims.
