BBS has been making forged wheels for road and track applications for more than 50 years. They use an exclusive multiple stage Die-Forging technique to build the toughest, heavy-duty wheels. One such wheel that came out this die-forging method is the BBS RF.
The BBS RF 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 RF boasts a refined style, with unrivaled lightness and strength in the industry. These wheels are extremely lightweight and are the perfect way to reduce un--sprung weight, resulting in considerable performance gains.
With its five slender cross spokes proceeding elegantly from the center, this subtle yet dynamic design gives a lightweight visual impression. Borne of our pursuit of top performance, this wheel leverages its ultra-light aluminum 1-piece structure to support nimble off-the-line starts and a sharp, responsive steering feel.
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 RF using their patented die-forging method.
In order to generate the highest degree of material density and weight reduction at top performance from the BBS RF, they are further enhanced in a complex forging process. This entails placing the heated star hub or the entire wheel blank in a press and compressing it in several work steps at 5000 to 8000 tons of closing pressure to further add density to the material in a special form known as a matrix. In between the individual work steps, the blank is repeatedly heated to approximately 400 degrees centigrade. As a result, an optimal material structure is achieved particularly at the areas of high strain, the wheel can be sized smaller, and is thereby lighter in weight.
Features:
The BBS RF is available in Diamond Silver or Diamond Black finishes. It is available in 17 and 18-inch diameters which are the perfect size for sports coupes, performance sedans, hatchbacks, and even muscle cars.
