five spokes are 16 inchers, right?

We just ordered our 225QC and wanted the "performance" option with the 17 inch six spokers, I see a lot of pics of 225's with the five spokes (I like them),why not opt for the bigger wheels though?

All the 225's have 5-spokes.

Actually, the 225 coupe comes with the 17" 6-spoke rims standard and the 5-spoke 17" polished rims

are included in the premium package. The roadster might be different.

On the 180, yes. On the 225, they're 17s.

Nope. This was discussed below, but....

I believe that for 2001:

1) stock wheels for 180 are cast 5-spoke 16"

2) upgrade wheels for 180 are cast 6-spoke 17", sometimes called "Avus" wheel. These are the 6-spoke almost everyone has.

3) stock wheels for 225 are same as #2

4) upgrade wheels for 225 are forged 5-spoke 17", also known as "competition" wheel. Included with Premium package option.

someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
