Fikse Wheels
Anybody know what the difference is between the FM and Profil Series? I've looked through their site, and can't tell the difference between the FM10 and Profil 10, as well as the 5's other that the Profil's come in 19's. TIA

From Fikse website:
(Seattle, Washington) -- In the largest expansion of the company's products to-date, Fikse USA is launching a new line of forged modular wheels in 18" and 19" sizes in May and June, 2002. Four new wheels, called the Profil (‘pro-feel') line, offer unparalleled strength, performance and innovative styling. "We aim for evolution of timeless designs, rather than chasing the fashion of the moment," says chief designer Jim Fikse. "The Profil line is a major evolution for Fikse." Fikse's philosophy is the integration of performance, engineering and timeless aesthetics. The four new Profil designs incorporate technical advances such as heat-treated rim halves for greater resiliency, new spoke profiles and new sculpting for weight reduction and enhanced structural rigidity. The longtime Fikse Forged Modular designs (FM5, FM10, Mag, Aro, Mach V) will now become the Classic Forged Modular Line and will continue to be offered in 17" and 18" sizes. The four new designs are the Profil 5 (five-spoke), Profil 5S (split five spoke), Profil 10 (ten-spoke mesh) and Profil 13 (thirteen-spoke radial). Each of the designs features a new shape center forging, new turning profile with a more articulated spoke and lug pocket area, new chamfering and inscribed logo on the face of the wheel.
