Why do my OEM wheels have 5 spokes, and others have 6?

My 2004 G35 Sedan has OEM wheels with 5 spokes. I am considering buying another set of OEM wheels so that I can put some winter tires on them...

As I am looking for another set, I see that a lot of them have similar wheels, but with 6 spokes.

What's the difference?

Also, I was looking at a set of wheels used, and it says that the TPS Tire Pressure Sensors are not included. Are these attached to the wheels, or do they stay on the car? In other words, if I get these wheels for winter tires, will that be a problem?

Thanks!

The 5 spoke wheels are suppose to respresent the aero package. Does your car have a spoiler, 6MT?

Thanks for the response.

No spoiler, automatic.

Will the 6 spoke wheels fit for winter wheels?

Yes they are the same size, just different design.
