BBS RI-D Wheels
One-Piece Forged Wheels
The BBS RI-D Wheels are one of the company’s offerings in its Forged Line – Exclusive Series collection.
Unlike most other wheel manufacturers in the world, the first wheels produced by BBS were for racing only. BBS took the lessons learned from racing and used that expertise for making its road wheels.
The one-piece, forged-aluminum RI-D wheels are made from a special 7000 series alloy that helps make this wheel as light and strong as possible. Starting from a billet of 6000 series aluminum, or a special magnesium alloy, every BBS forged wheel uses a special multi-stage die-forging process, which can require up to 18 millions pounds of pressure to produce. Here is a video showing the creation of the BBS forged wheels:
