what finish is on the centers?
I have a set of FM-5's but they are Black and Black anodized.
Since two wheels have busted lips, im going for the Polished lip instead of an anodized one. I was also thinking of having the centers redone as well.
Is that a painted center on your wheels?

I bought them used...
looking at Fikse's website, the finish I had doesn't appear to match any of their descriptions. The center section appeared to be painted a flat silver, and it was definitely clear coated. The closest finish described on Fikse's website is Speed Silver, however that is described as a bright silver with a metallic pigment. That sounds similar to the paint used on RS4 wheels, but the finish I had was definitely not a bright silver. It was more like a dull silver. No metallic look to it at all. The windows between the spokes had a bare machined look to them (also clearcoated), which is probably a standard on all the wheels.
It's possible I had the TechniPolish finish, however I've never seen a machine turned wheel quite that dull, if it was.
