My Ride: 2004 530i 6sp manual
the first of hopefully many 5's
I took an image of the titanium II gray in the gallery here (is that what yours looks like?) and fitted those images of the wheel you posted using photoshop. Take a look.
I am liking the 5 spoke... but thats my opinion.

It depends on 2 things for me: size and color. If your going with a darker color, any of these Vossens would look great. A lighter color car, I'm not so sure. Also, if your looking at 19" I would do the multi-spoke Vossen. 20" or bigger would have to be the 5 star design. I would usually advocate the multi-spoke wheel, but for these Vossens I've been leaning more towards the 5 star design. Vossen really did a great job with the black/gunmetal inserts in the 5 star. From afar, it really pops (like the pic of the 6 series). Also, the nipple spacing on the 5 stars look better than the multi-spoke. I think it looks too cluttered on the multi-spoke where as the 5 star has just the right amount of symmetrical spacing between the nipples.
On the other hand, the Asanti's AF 144 nipple action is crowded, but comes out looking real sexy.

Anyway, my .02.
