I voted for...

the 5- spokes because I recognize those 350Z rims and I don't really like them all that much.

I voted for the 6 spokes, because the 5 spokes are a bit small in diameter and I think the 6 spokes will look a bit better. I'm so used to seeing big 5 spokes on the Altezza, and the 5 spoke rims you show aren't any better/bigger than the basic stock rims. I wish that Tamiya had done the real Track Edition 6 spokes w/the narrower spokes. I've taken the 350Z rim and tried it on a number of models, looks pretty good on certain cars.

The 6" will have much more visual impact on this car.

IMO the spoke count doesn't matter, as long as it's not 3 i can live with it!! go for the 6 spoke ones! the five's aren't aggressive enough.

i'd use them if i could find the 18's. i got some 17's but they look way too small. i must say though, the te37's match well.
