Okay, nominate via photo link.  Here's the current one I like best,
although I reserve the right to add more later

That's the CLK55 AMG wheel right? The fenders look like it's from a CLS though....

Here's my favorite Benz wheel:

It's the 19" Denebola 9-twin spoke wheel. It's sporty, yet elegant. Came standard on the Launch Edition S550's and is available on any W221 now.

Are we allowed to add more than one? If so, here's my second nomination.

My second one is the Rukbat 19" 6-spoke wheel from the W164 M-Class.

Wow that six-spoke is cool, and new to me.

However I am philosophically opposed to six-spoke wheels
unless there are six lugs to go with them..  

Well, the logic is that the physical stresses in the wheel
are perfectly distributed when the # of spokes is equal to or a multiple of the #of lugs. 

Kinda like symmetry, only different  

Well, I doubt it.  The logic is clear IMHO but I think in practice the stress differentials are relatively slight and/or easily managed by material strength. 

Still, why have them (differentials) when you don't have to?   

And the W220 S65 AMG wheels.

I love that wheel.  Good proportions and minimal detail.

What model(s)??

D'oh!  Six spokes!

I was looking at the lug nuts......  

Whose nutz?

BUT...... they're not aligned regularly with the spokes. 

I think I've been set up!   

I think the trend today is toward fussier, more complex designs, and in particular there's some showing off among designers & engineers as regards how little material they can use.  I'm a traditionalist so a more-substantial design like that one suits my taste.

There's also a rebound effect now that starfish designs are available on the cheapest Hyundais.  Reminds me of the wood-and-leather steering wheel.  I guess the prestige mfr's are gonna have to drop that now that it's on a Hyundai too?

It's only natural that young people are gonna like the more complex designs. Because the simpler ones are probably associated with "old hat". I'm a traditionalist anyway.

However..... I can tell without counting that this wheel has a number of spokes which is not a multiple of five

All you have to do is look at the lugs
