Performance Line - BBS Performance Line Wheels

BBS Performance Line

BBS has been creating flow-forming spokes. For the rims of BBS Performance Line's light-alloy wheels, flow forming uses hydraulic rollers to enable higher consistency in the component structure. The rim well with the over 300 to 350-degree centigrade hot wheel blank is held under elevated heat and at high temperatures in a constant rotational movement and then rolled out in one work step over a ring.

The device works to renovate the wheel blank as per the concept of a potter's wheel. The desired result is that the original rim's thinner wall thickness and hence a lighter weight wheel of BBS Performance Line that can offer a very high level of quality at a cost much lower than a cast wheel. It also provides appropriately dense structural parameters and greater tolerance to contaminants.

Through FEM study, performed according to the "finite element method," a new wheel model's structural behavioral characteristic ??? for example in terms of strength or stability ??? are calculated by algorithm and configured during the production process. Using FEM analysis for BBS Performance Line, it is possible to simulate a wheel model's actions under actual operating conditions and stress.

Because the spokes are back-milled, a light alloy wheel obtains the ideal ratio between weight and stability. This would be achieved through a special CNC milling process, where the directional parts holding the wheel spokes are removed to reduce the load of the rotating mass of the wheel and are not relevant for stability.

You need to start with a top-quality casting blank to produce a truly perfect and long-lasting wheel. To produce these, BBS uses low-pressure casting. This involves pressing the aluminum alloy with up to 2 bars of stress in a multipart mold. The mold is opened after cooling it down to around 400-degree Celsius, and the casting blank is prepared for some further processing.

In addition to BBS Performance Line's environmentally friendly paints, its painting processes also meet 100% original equipment quality standards using the leading premium vehicle standards. Besides, meticulous quality inspections ensure that its wheels always have a completely impeccable surface finish.

About the BBS Wheels

BBS was originally founded in 1970 by Heinrich Baumgartner and Klaus Brand in Schiltach in the Black Forest. The corporate name is an acronym for Brand Schiltach of Baumgartner. Plastic car body parts were originally assembled at the factory until 1972 when a revolutionary three-piece motorsports wheel was developed there. This placed the firm in a strong position in the motorsports industry. The business began to expand slowly. The first international franchise was formed in France shortly afterward, the three-piece wheels were introduced for the retrofit market, and aftermarket sales started to rise. As a result of these successful advances, BBS became public in 1980, operating under the name BBS Kraftfahrzeugtechnik AG. Along with the establishment of a branch in Italy, the branches were founded in Japan and the USA after three more years.

By enforcing targeted process optimization, BBS GmbH was able to accomplish productivity gains, which was applied to deepen trade relationships with market presence growth, structured marketing strategies, and the introduction of a national new product line. Today BBS has a year-round range of products on the aftermarket. Original equipment for leading car manufacturers remains a key part of the company, thanks to the high-quality levels of BBS and many years of expertise.

Every wheel starts as an idea. For all the light-alloy wheels developed by BBS, several of these ideas are innovative concepts. And continually meeting and exceeding such great standards, advanced design, and manufacturing technology is an absolute requirement ??? as is a team of highly skilled motivated employees. BBS Motorsport Wheels has it all to offer!

Advantage of BBS Performance Line as Spoke Wheel

The spokes on your BBS Performance Line Wheels have the very important job of connecting the wheel's rim - outer diameter - to the plate at the center section of the wheel where the bolt holes and lugs connecting the wheel to the vehicle are kept. The spokes play a major part in deciding a wheel's total weight and strength. When designing and constructing a car, through Vivid Racing, BBS Performance Line Wheels will ensure that the spokes on the wheels they are using provide adequate capacity when considering things like the weight of the car, the performance, and the size of the tires that will be used.

Chrome Wheels

When properly cleaned, chrome wheels will last for years because they have one of the best tire coatings. The electroplating process renders chrome wheels extremely durable and resistant to rust, in addition to rendering a polished appearance. Except the robustness relies on routine repairs. If chrome wheels are not well cleaned, they can easily get dusty and turbid and can deteriorate for a long period of time due to accumulated brake dust and road salts, contributing to flaking.

Lightweight Wheels

For nearly all types of vehicles, there is a wide variety of lightweight metal wheels on the market. The BBS Performance Line wheels are one clear example of lightweight wheels. Consider your wheels lighter, and make the suspension even smoother. Each bump can be more readily and efficiently managed. It helps keep the BBS Performance Line Wheels and tire in contact with the asphalt for longer and is excellent news for vehicle stability and braking. Lightweight wheels are also easier to mount when replacing factory wheels. If you like a particular aftermarket wheel, then at least try to fit the weight of the stock wheel. If necessary it's easier to go lighter than stock.
