I have the 7x15's on the UrQ, they look really HOT, and I had the 6x14 16 
spokes on the 4k, which look bleakish... Go for the 5 spokes if you can. 
In the winter the 16 spokes get packed with snow and ice (OK, so I dont 
always stay on the roads(intentionally!)) and the next morning you have 
the worst balanced wheels in the world. Cleaning the now rock hard ice 
out of those things is a time consuming task. 

just my .02
