While i can't comment on the fit for our cars, I can say that I've run quite a few track days with a square set on my M4 and they've taken a lot of abuse from me. I've never hit anything with them so I can't say if they can hold up to that. But in all the Bay Area tracks, I've had good success with them. Especially considering the cost, they are pretty cheap.

Thanks for the feedback! I've pretty much decided to pick up two sets for Autocross, and will place the order in a few weeks. If they work out well for me, I may grab a set of 19's as well for street use whenever they decide to make them.

Whoa!
Not into open cars too much these days, not into drop, or flashy wheels, but DAMN this looks neat!

The fat, meaty, dropped look.
Debadged.
Even the front bumper update.
The color!

It all comes together really well.
An excellent example of better than the sum of parts...

Wow...looks awesome. I thought 11" is the widest the 987 can take, which I have. You just set the standard. What offset in the rear? Are you running coilovers?

Vorsteiner FF-01 20x8.5 et 45 front and 20x10 et 38 rear. I bought the car with these installed and I think i'd prefer 19's but I do like the style and fitment.

i kind of want to get a set of BBS FI-R's, but it looks like they only list it for 718 or GT4 fitments. I looked at the 718 FIR specs and it seems okay for the 981 too: 10.5x20 ET44 and 8.5x20 ET54. they were my street/track wheels on my m2, but now i use them as mostly track wheels on my m3. would love to get them as my daily set on the 981, then run some titan7 18" wheels for my track set.
