What Makes The BBS RE Wheel Special?

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 RE, BBS uses an exclusive multiple stage Die-Forging technique to build the toughest, heavy-duty wheels.

The BBS RE wheels are for you, whether you're looking to dominate the race track or just want your street car to perform exhilaratingly and turn heads as you pass by. From the world's most sought-after and respected wheel brand, the RE boasts a refined style, with unrivaled lightness and strength in the industry. These wheels are extremely lightweight and are a perfect way to reduce un-sprung weight, resulting in considerable gains in performance.

The RE sports a BBS tradition split 7-spoke mesh wheel that is made timeless by BBS’ involvement in motorsports. This is an aluminum forged one-piece rim with a split seven spoke design that splits making a Y design. The spokes veer to the flange where they tuck beneath the inner lip. Even more amazing, the RE is forged out of magnesium.

With less un-sprung weight, the suspension can operate more effectively for improved handling, grip, and braking. Yet when buying aftermarket frames, weight isn't the only thing to remember. Your wheels must have the correct stiffness-to - weight ratio to enjoy reliable performance, as wheels that are only lighter may perform better initially, but do not have the strength and reliability to withstand the rigors of completion or performance road use. That is why BBS elected to make the RE using their tried and tested die-forging method.

The RE is further enhanced in a complex forging process in order to generate the highest degree of material density and weight reduction at top performance from the BBS RE. It includes positioning the heated star hub or the entire wheel blank in a press and compressing it at 5000 to 8000 tons of closing pressure during multiple work phases to further densify the substance in a special shape known as a matrix. The blank is heated repeatedly to around 400 degrees centigrade. As a result, especially in high strain areas, an optimal material structure is achieved, the wheel can be dimensioned smaller, making it extremely light in weight.
