If you do not like to clean wheels, do not get the FM10.
Volk TE37 are proper fitment, light weight, strong (monoblock forged), easy to clean, and look great (subjective, I know others may not like them).

I use a pressure washer to clean my wheels, along with a wheel brush and mitt. It's really no big deal and I have to deal with a ton of brake crud. FM-10's are great since there is no painted surface to chip off.

For my track car, wheel cleaner and a pressure wash does a great job. But if this were my street car, I'd want them hand wiped, and OMG these are impossible to do that to.
For looks alone, I would say it depends on the look you want, FM10 or LM look racy and strong, RS GT look stylish and neat... (sorry those are the best adjectives I can come up with)
Just my 2cents

Whichever way you go -- with regard to cleaning them, a good layer or few of sealant or sealant+wax should make all the difference -- these should help too:

Hate to keep pimp'in the OZ Alleggerita but that's another thing I like about them, they clean up with ease. I can even clean/seal the entire wheel surface (including the backs of the spokes) fairly easily while they're still on the car.
