    That IS a tough choice. I think I would go with the 8 spoke also. Either way I'd say your lucky and the bike looks fantastic...

    The 8 looks like it is busy-moving. The 5 looks like it is calm-standing still.
    I like 5 but they both look good.

    That 8 spoke looks so lousy that I will be a samaritan & buy it from you so you don't have to look at it anymore.

    KC-10 FE out...

    the 8 looks good to me but all I can think is that cleaning those white rims must be a bitch so cleaning 3 more spokes with all those nooks and crannies would be a PIA.

    I like the 5 spoke b/c it looks just right, not too busy and not too low-key. The 8 spoke wheel is just a little too much for me.

    I'd take whichever is lighter and I'm betting that'd be the 5 spoke.
    Also...
    5 matches the front.
