I have 60 spoke Dunlops on my BN1, so far 4 years of spirited (mostly all
street) driving and no broken or loose spokes (165/80 radials). I think it
is a nice compromise, the general appearance of the 60 spokes isn't that
much different than the 48, it just depends on what you want to do with your
car.
