They do require extra care in that you have to polish the lips with a good metal polish 3 or 4 times a year because the lips are not coated. Waxing after polishing slows down the tarnishing process. Ralphe Boothe center caps like the photo above adds a nice finishing touch.
POST PICS PLEASE

Profil 13s are the way to go.

if you look in the classifieds section i have a set of Profil 13's for sale. IMO they are much better looking. They are GT2 sizes which I am 99% sure will fit the turbo.

I have a set of those wheels with ps2's for a turbo fitment
that have 100 miles on them. I want to sell them for $3,500
the wheels were put on my shoutout car 3 days before i bought the car. I took them off 2 days after i took delivery of the car in order to put the 380mm brake kit on. I replaced the with the bbs magnesium wheels.
If you want them call my office
954-977-7130
cheers
Bryan

Those wheels are pretty dated looking in my opinion.

I guess that's why they have chocolate and vanilla.

Hmmm. If this many people whose opinions I respect dislike the wheel, maybe I'd better rethink the whole thing. I appreciate the feedback.

IMHO, the FM/5 looks better than the Profile 5, even with the older rim design. Will Fikse do an FM/5 with a Profile rim?

http://www.imageshack.us is great free image hosting, makes posting pics simple.

I'm thinking of getting a set of Profil 10s or 13s.

edit: Anyone have any experience with Fikse's race satin finish? Is it easier/harder to keep clean than TechniPolish?
