I guess I could be prejudiced on this vote. And I'd love to see the 10-spokers in satin black too.

I saw your post and pictures with the 10 spoke Panamera wheels and ended up buying a set of my own about a week later. Still waiting to get them in the mail, can't wait.

5 is too common. 10 looks a but more modern I think.

Default 10 spoke

I prefer the 10 spoke wheels. The 5 spoke wheels look derived from the 5 spoke/star Ferrari 308 wheels from the '70s. At least, that's what the wheels remind me of when I see them and it makes the 928 look like a Ferrari wannabe. The 308 was a beautiful car, but I think the 928 is both a better and a better looking car. It has no need to ape the 308.

5 Spoke. Simpler which meshes with the design of the car.

Good question Adam.

There's good chance that my next set of wheels will be a 18" Panamera wheels.
...Unless I find a nice set of Cup I (or maybe II) at a good price.

At first, I liked the 10 spokes very mutch. Now I have to say that I like the 5 spokes more and more...
Anyway, both will look beautiful on your car.

Personally, I like a 5 spoke wheel, but the 10 spoke looks better on white, classy look.
You could Plasti-dip 5 alternate spokes on the 10 spoke wheel.

Well I found a set of Cup 1 replicas locally. They have always been a favorite wheel of mine. This is what she will look like.

If I ever go with the Panameras I will likely go with the 5 spoke.

Thanks to everyone.
