So look at who's using the BBS FI to set a Nurburgring record? I guess BBS should clarify..."The wheel is not for racing purposes but for road use...like roads through the Green Hell."

They look good. The weight is incredible though. BBS has quality parts.

BBS FI fitment for 997 C2S

does anyone know if there is a fitment for 997 C2S narrow body? I've read that there is a 11.25 rear size, I was hoping this could work for 997 C2S NB..

Agree.
Stupid question, but is it possible to put the Porsche center crest instead of the BBS one?

I have the Porsche centers on my BBS FI's. The Porsche centers are slightly larger so I had them machined down a little so they would fit, forgot how much, I think it was 3 mm. I think they look a lot better with the Porsche centers.
