BBS FI-R Gloss Platinum Wheel (19×10.5 +35) for F80 BMW M3 and F82 M4

The FI-R Gloss Platinum wheel is the rear corner of the 19 inch set BBS built for the F8x M cars. BBS has supplied BMW Motorsport since the 1970s, and the FI-R uses the same multi-stage die-forging: a single billet of aluminum pressed into a monoblock whose grain structure follows the finished shape of the wheel rather than running straight through it. At 17.5lbs in 19×10.5 it takes meaningful weight off the rear axle of a car that puts its power down through a short wheelbase, and the car answers with better traction over poor surfaces and a rear end that settles faster. Gloss Platinum is the bright machined silver, which against the F80’s shoulder line reads as a finished OEM-plus choice rather than an aftermarket one.

Forged Construction

BBS die-forges the FI-R under up to 18 million pounds of force, starting from a billet of 6000 series aluminum or the company’s own magnesium alloy depending on the application. Forging closes the porosity that casting leaves behind and aligns the grain along the load paths the wheel actually sees, so the rim section can be made thinner without giving up strength. The spokes, hub face and barrel are one continuous piece of metal, with no bolts, no welds and no joint to fatigue.

Weight and Design

Each cross spoke carries a relief hole that takes material out of a low-load area, and the back faces are milled to the minimum section the structure needs. 17.5lbs for a 19 inch wheel 10.5 inches wide is a genuinely low number, and on an S55 car it shows up where the chassis is working hardest: less rotating mass for the brakes and differential to manage, and less unsprung mass for the dampers to control.

Fitment

This is the rear wheel in the BBS FI-R 19 inch program for the F80 M3 and F82 M4, running the BMW 5×120 bolt pattern on a 72.5mm hub bore with a +35mm offset. The matching front is the 19×9.5 +22, listed separately in the same Gloss Platinum finish. Note that this is a BMW fitment and will not mount to a Porsche hub.

Confirm caliper clearance before ordering if the vehicle runs a carbon ceramic or aftermarket brake package
Vehicles that have been lowered or otherwise modified need enough clearance between the fender and the suspension components. Tire size and alignment should both be checked against the revised setup.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the FI-R Gloss Platinum wheel in 19×10.5 +35 fit? It is the rear axle fitment for the F80 BMW M3 and the F82 M4, on the BMW 5×120 bolt pattern and a 72.5mm hub bore. Owners of other 5×120 BMWs should confirm offset and caliper clearance before ordering, because arch clearance varies across the range.
Does this fit a Porsche? No. This is a 5×120 BMW fitment with a 72.5mm bore. Porsche uses a 5×130 pattern on a 71.6mm bore, or a centerlock hub on the GT and Turbo cars, so none of them will accept this wheel. The BBS FI-R is made in Porsche fitments as well, listed separately on this site.
Is the FI-R forged or cast? Forged. BBS die-forges the FI-R from a single billet under up to 18 million pounds of force, producing a one-piece monoblock with no bolts or welds. Forging closes the internal porosity that casting leaves behind, which is what allows the rim section to be made thinner and lighter without giving up strength.
How much does the 19×10.5 FI-R weigh? 17.5lbs, or 7.9kg. For a 19 inch wheel 10.5 inches wide that is a low figure, and on an F8x it is one of the few changes that improves ride and response at the same time. Lower unsprung mass gives the dampers less to control, and lower rotating mass eases the load on the brakes.
What front wheel pairs with this rear? The 19×9.5 +22, part FI137, in the same BBS FI-R 19 inch program for the F8x. A complete staggered set is two of these 19×10.5 +35 rears and two 19×9.5 +22 fronts. The front is listed separately in Gloss Platinum, so the set can be built in a single finish.
Does the wheel need hub rings or spacers? No. The 72.5mm center bore matches the BMW hub, so the wheel is hub centric as supplied and needs no centering ring. Spacers are not required at this offset either. Use the factory wheel bolts and torque them to the BMW specification in a star pattern.

About BBS

In 1970, two motor racing enthusiasts from Schiltach in Germany’s Black Forest, Heinrich Baumgartner and Klaus Brand, founded BBS. They started by making lightweight fiberglass body parts to give their own cars a better chance on track. To cut unsprung weight further they developed a three-piece race wheel, which drew the attention of professional teams including BMW Motorsport and grew the company quickly. In 1983 the three-piece RS design arrived and has been one of the most recognized wheels in the industry ever since. Technology through Motorsport has been the company’s mission statement throughout.

BBS builds wheels for cars, trucks and SUVs across three ranges. The Forged Line covers one-piece and two-piece forged designs, the Performance Line covers one-piece and dual-construction flow formed models, and the Design Line covers low pressure cast rims. Design, testing and manufacturing all happen in house, which is how BBS keeps its original equipment programs and its motorsport programs feeding each other.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
