It's nice to have spokes mach lug nut count, but imho more so for strength/weight. As in holes for lugs can be positioned exactly where already extra material of spokes already is, and thus is not needed to be added, where lug is placed off root of spoke. Looks wise .. not enough to trigger my OCD. I use mostly two set of wheels, both are similar design (6-thin straight spoke) and obviously of twin's 5x100 PCD (for summer-track:17x7.5 Taneisya T6, for winter:16x7 SSR Type-C), not seeing "non-maching" a visual issue. As for wheel design itself, subjectively 6-spoke looks better to my eye then 5-spoke .. spokes itself seem, somewhat more symmetrical / better fitting on car.
