Just as the title says. What is the difference? I know a lot of people have the FM5's, but I haven't seen as many posts about the Profile 5's.

Profil 5's just took the name of the FM5's I believe.. no change other than that.. not 100% sure though.

I believe Profil not Profile wheels are actually lighter and stronger and it also helps more with brake clearance for BBK.

The spoke design is also slightly different. FM5's look better on F-bods from the pictures I've seen.

Classic is designed for a 17" wheel the center disc was a fixed diameter . . . 18's the step lip may get "taller"

Profils were designed with larger diameters in mind, so the center disc gets bigger with the rim size.

Profils are lighter . . and a lot more expensive. . . the Classic runs around $700 each . . Profil can hit $1,000 each . . .

BUt I will say . . I LOVE my FIKSE wheels.
