I quite like the look of these.
They look similar to 20vt wheels but with an extra spoke!

They look similar to Antera 181 wheels as fitted to the de Tomasa / Qvale Mangusta from around year 2000. After seeing them in an Autocar article I kept looking on eBay for quite a while trying to get a set to fit to the Coupe, thinking the same, that they look similar to the original 20vt wheels.

I think they would look right at home on a coupe
but I don't like them as much as my 18's laugh

I don't know if there really is engineering substance to this but I remember reading once that having the same number of spokes as nuts/studs for holding the wheel on can make for more strength. There is some logic to that in terms of alignment of forces but having had a spoke on a standard wheel break recently maybe not worth worrying about.
