RI-S
BBS RI-S | Why should I install these wheels?
BBS has been around since the seventies. A time when the most fun a man can have is to race a car around a track. That is how long BBS has been producing wheels. Initially, BBS only produces wheels to go racing. So, if we are not hitting the track, folks like you and me won’t be able to get BBS wheels under our cars.
Until folks, also, like you and me, demanded that BBS produce a line of road wheels. And they did. One of these road wheels borne out of racing is the RI-S. The RI-S is a 2-piece forged aluminum wheel with titanium fasteners. The wheels are machined using BBS’ patented process which makes the wheel stiff and extremely lightweight despite its sole 20-inch diameter size.
The RI-S carries with it a sporty style that reflects BBS’ insistence on the ideal design. While carrying on the sportiness of their RI-D and RI-A models, this wheel adds the design sense characteristic of a two-piece wheel that looks quite amazing. Luxurious in appearance, the 5 cross spokes overlap the rim to further emphasize the wheel’s large diameter. Which means given it’s already generous 20-inch serving, it looks larger still o your big body coupes, grand tourers, and luxury performance sedans. The disc design with its absolutely eye-catching 3D look nicely accentuates the distinctive diamond-cut rim.
Only the finest materials are used in making the BBS RI-S. Aerospace grade alloys are molded into intricate reaching spokes using 18 million pounds of force. To put that into perspective, imagine being trampled on by a full-grown African Elephant. Now, imagine it doing so 1,286 times! That is the sort of abuse the RI-S takes even before being mounted on a car. So you will be always confident during spirited drives. Like all BBS wheels, each processing stage is managed in house in their Black Forest factory in Germany.
