The Turbo S and the GT3 do have the same offset.

We are a BBS retailer and I can look into it for you. I have done some research with BBS USA on this wheel. The set on this thread is the only set in the USA that we know of. There are a few sets reserved for the US market, but are not into the country yet. PM me if interested.

Precisely the reason I was so compelled to swoop these up.

How does the concavity in the rear wheel compare to stock?

After talking with BBS USA, here's what we know:

Initial production will be:

20 x 9 ET 52 Centerlock
20 x 12 ET 44 Centerlock

Initial color options will be Satin Black and Titanium

5 bolt will likely be available, but is not final at this time.

The wheels are still in development in Germany, and ETA into the US is likely early summer.

Pricing is not yet determined. I will post updates to the thread on this wheel as I get them from BBS.

Exactly why I jumped on these! When they became available, I don't think most people realized just how rare these are.

In a PM to me you said "Initial color options will be Bright silver, Platinum Satin, and Titanium, and could be subject to change."

So which color choices is it?

BBS got back to me after I had PM'd you. Satin Black and Titanium is what they have settled on for the US market initially.
