Between the factory 10 spoke or the optional 20 spoke, which do you prefer.

The 20 spoke pictures mostly don't do justice since brake dust dulls shine of the polish very quickly. They have a layered 3D look to it that does not come across in pictures. When cleaned and shiny, these wheels were one of my must-haves for the RCF.

I was leaning towards the 10 spokes at first, but the 20 spokes are growing on me.... But yes, you're right, the 20 spokes do look better in person and don't photograph that well.

Does anyone happen to know if there is much weight difference between the two?

I'm not a fan of the 10 spoke at all.

RCF 20 spoke are nice, but the GSF wheels are my fav though.

The 10 spoke base wheel for the 2015-2017 RCF. The base wheel for later models was changed to a, IMHO, lessor looking wheel. I have the base wheels on my ISF.

10 spoke seems more sporty to me and is the one I choose.
The 20 spoke seems more refinated ( knowing that is a piece of art)

Surprised, no one's mentioned these:



Also a PITA to clean.

My vote goes to the oem 10 spoke, really enjoy the way they look and the color. Well, when they’re not coated with brake dust.

I have those, and I hate them! Trying t figure out how I can replace them, without any modifications to tire size or wheel size.

That actually looks really nice! Is that your only set of wheels? Meaning - what was on the car while you had those Powder Coated?

Next week I'll have three (3) sets of Wheels & Tires! Have those same stock ones, and a new set of custom 2 piece 19s en route. What I'm desperately trying to do is sell my Black Chrome Staggered 20s right meow! As I've said in many other posts, anyone who refers me a buyer will get $100 PayPal'd to them! The link is within my Signature Line. Gotta love that Black Chrome though!

These are my least favorite wheel option for the RCF.
