Looking at the 95 brochure Rattnalle has attached above, it would suggest that unless any HPT car in 95 was fitted with a 15" set of wheels then NO HPT would have been fitted with an even number of spokes spoke wheel in that year. The 16" wheel is listed as TURBO and the 17" is also a 5 spoke wheel.

Maybe later years there may have been an option of the 6 spoke 15" wheel available in a 16" diameter?

Only a very small number of rims were available in more than one size. Zeus is one I think, but I'm not sure. Most were one design, one size. The selection did slowly grow bigger but I'm not sure how any more were added before the S/V70.
