You can order Intro Wheels "GT Sport", but without the rivets. Those look very similar to Fikse FM-5s, but only about $1700 for a set of four, instead of $2600 for Fikses. Jantzer had them on his Formula. I have the GT Sport with rivets on my '69.

Actually I don't think they look like the FM5s, IMO there isn't a wheel out there that resembles the FM5....

The Intro GTs looks a lot more like the IForged Aeros (I think they are the same company, so thats probably why)
Lastly the rivets look much better on the GTs

The Profil line is about $1,000 each, the Classic line is around $600 each . . .

Excuse my ignorance, but what is the difference between the "Classic" line and the "Profil" line.....I tried going to their site, but couldn't find the info except for "many improvements"

The FM5s and FM10s are so god damn sexy

if i remember correctly, a Fikse salesperson told me that the Profil line does not include the step lip, and as far as the FM5s are, the spoke seem flatter and wider.

The Classic line is mainly designed as a 17" wheel. You can get 18" but all they do is put a bigger step on the hoop.

The Profil line is race inspired. Designed for bigger diameters, so the center "disc" is bigger with smaller stepped lips compared to the Classic line. The Profil line is also very light weight for a 18" wheel. My 18"s if I recall correct weigh in at a low 21 to 23lbs.

I like the design and the look of the wheels im just not a fan of a steped lip....... I love the look of iForged wheels.... If i recall correctly there design id called (True Face) Thats the reason the wheels look bigger then they are.... there are no stup up lips and the center of the wheel is bigger so it makes the whole wheel look bigger.
Thats just my .02 though.
