I've got SRAM S60 wheels with a Red cassette. On my previous bike i had Fulcrum 5 wheels but with shimano 105 so now I'm looking for a new set of low profile wheels.
Can you guys give me some advice? Thanks

The same advice I would give anyone asking this question.

Handbuilt - either 28/32 or 32/32 ; double butted spokes and built 3 cross.

Cheap, reasonably light weight ( depending on components you choose ) and easily repairable and serviceable.

yeah, but it'd be beter if you could just give some types you know :p that's what i meant

Maybe I'm missing something, but I thought SRAM and Shimano cassettes were interchangable on the same wheel. So if you've still got the Fulcrum 5's, you should be able to use them.

Ok then,

You are in Europe.

get some Ambrosio Excellence or Excellight rims,

hubs - something like the DT240 front and rear and DT Revolution spokes (depending on your weight)

Bomb proof last forever wheels.

I'll second the Ambrosio recommendation, but will suggest Edco Super G hubs (poor mans' DT, just as good) and Sapim Race spokes, since he's in Belgium (support local Co's.) No need for anything less than 14/15g spokes on a everyday training wheel set. Weight isn't an issue when you're putting the junk miles in. ;)

Why don't you buy you a set of cheap wheels and shut up and ride. Whose approval are you looking for anyway? Jeez.
