Both are pretty nice looking, those Monacos for classy style and the 5 spokers for sport.
What wheel specs and tire sizes are you wanting?

Brad's right... 5-spoke designs are aggressive looking, assuming you have the brakes to back that up. But those fake bolts on the TSW Jarama, and the chrome-like finish, just looks horrible. Very tacky.

For a clean design and just one up from the basic 5-spoke, I've always liked the Stance SC-6IX. Very nice 6-spoke rim. Looking at this picture... man, that's appealing with that deep inner lip, the gently sculpted hub section, and that raised STANCE logo in a machined finish. That right there is aggressive and classy design, all in one.

Lol @ the rubberbands
TBH I didn't look closely at those 5 spokes, but yeah, if they have those fake bolts it's a detractor
Those Stance wheels John posted are a nice look. The Rohanna RC7s are deep concave, but only in 20s

Those are very sexy
And your probably right about not having the brakes to back a nice 5 spoke. I think that deep chrome lip is what i'm attracted to.

Brad that too is a very nice wheel. I do like that style rim.

You could also look at Niche M150's I believe are the model I am running and the look is great and not many people run with them. At least here in the NW.

Absolutely hate the look of fake bolts on a single piece, cast rim. My disgust feels almost personal, LOL. It's like I'm being insulted.

Similarly, the Vossen CV7. Very much like the Stance rim (with one more spoke). Both aggressive and classy (and heavy ) at the same time.

But with a straight 7-spoke, just like the 6- and 5-, you really need worthy brakes, like this somewhat slammed Coupe below. Otherwise it just looks dumb.

Since all of your original choices were TSW wheels...

The TSW Bathurst are the best of a few worlds. Light rotary forged wheel with a nice design. Also comes in a silver machined finish.

This guy.

He's got what seems literally like thousands of examples of incredible wheel photography.

You could burn through hours just eye-humping some of his pics.
