(sold as a single wheel)
The BBS RI-A is a forged monoblock wheel designed for drivers who use their car on both track and street. Its multi-stage forging increases aluminum density while keeping weight under control, maintaining strength without excess mass. Reinforced spokes and carefully engineered load distribution help the wheel stay stable under cornering and braking, while a machined knurled bead seat reduces tire movement during aggressive driving. Finished in Gold, the RI-A combines precise handling with a clean, functional appearance that reflects its performance-focused design.
BBS was founded in 1970 by Heinrich Baumgartner and Klaus Brand in Schiltach, Germany. The company was established by amateur racers seeking performance gains on the track. Initially, BBS developed fiberglass body panels to reduce weight before shifting focus to decreasing unsprung weight with the introduction of an innovative three-piece racing wheel. This breakthrough positioned BBS as a key player in motorsports, attracting the attention of factory racing programs, including BMW. As the company expanded, road wheels were added to the lineup, and in 1983, BBS launched the original three-piece RS design, a wheel that remains an industry icon. Performance and technology have always been at the core of BBS, with the company’s motto, “Technology Through Motorsports,” continuing to drive innovation. Today, BBS has a global presence, designing, testing, and manufacturing its own products and technologies while maintaining its deep roots in motorsports engineering.
