Aerodynamic/Structural Properties of Wheels

I was looking for wheels for my car, and then began wondering why F1 and sportscars go towards multi-spoke wheels instead of something like a five or six-spoke wheel.

They would go for thicker ones if fan shaped spokes weren't banned. This way with thin spokes they make wheels lighter and enable better flow of hot air.
