I don't know about you but I can't tell the difference between 75mm and 96mm from that distance. It's only .8" and I'd only be able to tell they weren't the same if you literally put them side by side.

One thing I did notice was that the finish on the wheels looks slightly different on the RS (front shot) and the SS (rear shot) on the website. SS wheels look polished while the RS wheels look to have a duller finish to them.
