Definitely need the Satin black as a color option! Glad you requested! They delivered

We still love FI-R's and have sets in stock if interested.

Why is that? The offset should be the same.

Not just the offset dictates the concavity. Strength, design, weight, brake clearance all come into play when BBS designs a wheel.

Are they as "resistant" as stock one?

Yes! MR told me that the WEC wheels were also tested by Porsche AG for safety in terms of coming loose from the center locks and durability (OEM Porsche standard). So we don"t have to worry about those, it's been officially tested and approved by PAG. That's one of the main reason that the wheels were also delayed, I ordered mine last Jan or Feb and got my set just this Aug. (Still worth the wait)

In the end you'll get a set of real motorsport wheel (same design, tech and material used by the 991RSR/GT3R)
