None of em. Light and strong is great, but their designs suck IMHO.

Default Well, if you have a better idea, I'm listening.

The priority being on light and strong, of course. Kinesis K58's have a better design, however the exposed bolts look like a pain in the *** to clean, and they never called me back regarding fitment which doesn't speak well for their customer service (this would be Alan at Kinesis if anyone cares)!

Default Another look at the FM5's...

The Volk's are okay, but if I get track wheels, they will be SSR Comps which look very similar, so I need something a little different.

Here's a shot of the FM5's on Nogaro...sorry, I don't know who to credit for this pic...it was emailed to me by BRK.

Default Nice. But I think that the way the spokes end so far from the lip..........

makes the wheels look small. I'm guessing those are 17's, almost look like 16's.

Just a cosmetic issue, totally personal preference. Killer wheels nonetheless.

Default Nope...18's!

That's the price you pay to have hidden bolts.
