The 10 spoke became an option in 2010, the 5 spoke were still the standard sport pack wheel. I personally like the 10 spoke better but I have the 5 [tough to clean down those narrow slits].

For the thread. I flew to Florida to buy a 2010 sport pack, wasn't a good car but I drove it and then went 50 miles north to drive a 2013 with the comfort suspension [it was a super bargain and I wanted to try the suspension]. There was a major difference in the feel. The comfort still handled very well but would float over the rough road and get upset a little if it was at an apex, where the sport would transfer the shock, but stay planted extremely well over rough patches. I ended up buying a 2010 sport and there a dip and patch at the apex of the S on my exit that would really upset the sport pack on my Z and bounce it to the outside, but the V stays planted without upsetting it at all, of course you do feel it thru the seat though.

powerbeautysoulAM is on a distinguished road
I noticed 2010 is the last year that the sport package with the 5 spoke wheels are available on the cars for sale. It might be available as an option in the newer models (2011-2015), but I rarely see them. I see the V spoke and the 10 spoke wheels most often. Did people just prefer the comfort suspension later on?
