I had a set of FM10s on my 951S and they were great wheels, light and strong. Excellent people to work with as well. Hope you get a reasonable price WITH shipping.

I had FM10s on my RS America. Great wheels, great customer support. The only thing is that they were a real pain to keep clean.

Anyone have experience with their "Race Satin" (anodized) finish? Is it easier to keep clean? I am considering ordering a set of Profil 10s.

I've done that on a couple of sets and I must say I really like the technipolish (standard) the best. The black is easy to clean though and a lot of track guys go that route...

My profil 10s have the standard technopolish and they clean up fine. They are not any harder to clean than any other Y-spoke design wheel like BBS or Champion (they're all a PITA!).
I have seen the black anodized finish get stained. This was on track vehicles and I'm not sure if it was from brake pad material, neglect, or both.
