I have the early (soft) 5 spoke wheels sitting in my living room as I write this. I'm getting some KDW's for them this week. My E0 SVT didn't come with the correct wheels as a pre-owned car from the dealer so I found a set on e-bay. From a purely asthetic point of view I find nothing negative about their appearance. Otherwise, I would have bought at set of the E1 type wheels.
