New Wheels, 5 spoke or six spoke?

Looking to get summer wheels for my wife's 04 Vibe. I was looking for 5 spokes, but then saw a few Vibes here with 6 spokes. I've seen American Eagle 193 series six spokes that should do nicely... Any thoughts?

No lowering springs or anything for this car (wife's), so rims will be 16", with whatever tires came on it when we bought the car last spring (Tiger Paws, I think)... Just want to have summer & winter wheel sets.

In my opinion, a five spoke will look better with the small size you are going with.

IMO 6 spokes. I do recommend going one size bigger with the tires too. Makes a much smoother ride and it fills the wheel gap a little. Stock tires are 205/55/16 (I believe that's right), I put 205/60/16 on mine. The speedo is more accurate now and a better ride too.

I get a very smooth ride with 225/40 18's and S-Techs.
