RG-F
Why Install BBS RG-F Wheels?
BBS has been making forged wheels for road and track applications for more than 50 years. But they weren’t initially making road wheels. All they do were make wheels that go fast on the racetrack. Until they gave the public what they wanted and created road wheels, road wheels which were using every bit of knowledge BBS learned in racing. For the RG-F, BBS uses an exclusive multiple stage Die-Forging technique to build the toughest and most heavy-duty wheels on the market.
The RG-F sports a bold face with a timeless mesh design. This mesh design would go well along subcompacts, hatchbacks, even some old school metal. From the world's most sought-after and respected wheel brand, the RG-F boasts a sophisticated style with a recessed dish that looks good on old cars and new ones as well. These wheels are extremely lightweight and are perfect at reducing un-sprung weight, resulting in ample gains in performance.
BBS Forging Technology
Forging is a non-cutting process for forming material in a heated, solid state. They are further enhanced in a complex forging process in order to generate the highest material density and weight reduction at the highest performance from our high-strength and durable aluminum or magnesium alloys. This involves placing the heated star hub or the entire wheel blank in a press and compressing it in several working steps at 5000 to 8000 tons of closing pressure to further densify the material in a special form known as the matrix.
Between the individual work steps, the blank is repeatedly heated to approximately 400 degrees centigrade. As a result of the optimal material structure, especially in areas of high strain, the wheel can be smaller in size and is therefore lighter in weight. Each processing stage is managed in house to ensure the birth of the finest forged wheels in the world.

Why Should I Install Aftermarket Wheels?
- Aftermarket wheel has been engineered to be lightweight, which is why these see the primary use in motorsports
- A lighter wheel reduces un-sprung weight, resulting in faster acceleration and significantly improved handling
- A bigger wheel allows space for much larger brake rotors and calipers—usually a must when a car is built to race
- A larger wheel is more attractive in design compared to boring stock wheels
The RG-F is available in 15 and 16-inch dimeters. This makes it a perfect wheel for old school cars like the Toyota Corolla AE86 and the BMW E30 325i. It will also be a great upgrade from your hatchback’s stock wheels.
