Yeah, I was never a big fan of the multi-spoke rims but in terms of a black rim, the design really isn't as important as on a non-body colored rim (such as a chrome rim).

I just ordered a set of Iforged similar to that, only with 10 spokes, and black on chrome. Good Look IMO. My car is white FYI, and they look great

Too many spokes for my taste - 5 or 6 spoke is about the most I like on any wheel. Especially on a Benz where brake dust is a problem - too many spokes to try and clean.

If the centers are black, dust is not an issue. You only have to clean the lip which would be the same for any wheel. You just dust the black centers and your good.
