I don't care for the wagon wheels either, but I tried them on my 94.
I didn't like them. They looked ok, but the 17" front and 18" rear made the car feel too high in back. I also had the stock C5 Goodyear run flats on them and they are very stiff so I didn't like the ride either.
I went back to C4 wheels.

I had thin spokes in my 95 and I liked them. They were very easy to clean.

I'm still a fan of the stock C4 wheels. I think they look the best on that car. C5/C6 wheels have always turned my stomach on a C4.
If I had to choose anyway...go with the wagon wheels.

Be aware that the thin spoke have an issue with cracks. Search the C5 section and you 'll see. I don't remember the details, but I think it was the Alcoa ones that had the problem.
Depending on the color of your car, either could look good. The white one above with the wagons looks great.
Either way, get the Hankook Ventus V12's for them. The ride, handling and traction are all great!

You forget this is the CF.

PLRX's vette gives you the absolute best shot at what the thin spokes will look like on your car.
Here are two pics of my two vettes to give you a bit of a comparison.
Of the two that you asked us to choose from .... I think that the thin spokes will look best however .......
....
.... since you also asked for advice .... if I was going to buy another after market set of wheels for my C4 .... the absolute best looking wheels on a C4 are the Torque Thrust II wheels by AR. If you do a search on TT II you will find some pics here .... they are absolutely
