I like the CCW's a whole lot better! But if you go with the FM10's I'd prefer a deeper dish and bigger size.

I don't like the 505a(s) at all. If I could afford CCWs I'd go with the classics or SP20s. I really like the Fm/10s and FM/5s.

That is really tough! I'm gonna go with FM10's though, very very nice wheel!! If you notice with the higher end wheels, they get less "shiney" like they aren't solid chrome (which I know neither of those are), the 505's are alot shiner than the FM10's, or FM5's and to me it makes them look cheaper than the Fikes, plus I LOVE the FM10 design!
