I have got a set of type r rod modified to install Wiseco pistons.

They get discoloreted for the heat used to make the work:

Could the rods be weak from it and going to fail?

 

hmm...dont know how healthy that looks...use at own risk

 

From what i've read that means you, or whomever got it hotter then it needed to be. HOwever, my friend ran rods like that in his b16 with 10 pounds of boost. I too said the same thing, when it breaks we'll know why However, no issues, i have since done my own rods, and ended up with the same color. So, from my limited experience, i say your good to go.

 

The rods will go in a 210-215whp 9500 rpm NA application.

Is there any real risk?

what hence modification it needs? wiseco pistons can be pressed pin... like stock

they installed a bronze bushing like a forged rod... i have had some done... and some that doesn't... but the ones done dont look like that at all...
