BBS Forged Line RF Wheel (18×8 5-112 +45) in Diamond Silver [RF516DS]

The BBS RF in Diamond Silver is a high-performance flow-formed wheel that combines advanced engineering with a motorsport-inspired aesthetic. Its flow-forming construction optimizes strength while keeping weight low, enhancing handling, acceleration, and overall driving dynamics. The multi-spoke layout provides a contemporary, aggressive look and promotes improved airflow for brake cooling. Precisely machined for an exact fit, the RF in Diamond Silver delivers both refined styling and high-performance functionality for drivers who value engineering and design in equal measure.

Forged Line

• BBS forged wheels start from billets of 6000-series aluminum or select magnesium alloy and are shaped using a proprietary multi-stage die-forging process that applies up to 18 million pounds of pressure. Each stage is carefully controlled to produce wheels of exceptional quality and precision. Engineered to combine low weight with high strength, BBS forged wheels optimize the stiffness-to-weight ratio while maintaining the safety, durability, and long-term reliability that define the brand.

About BBS

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.
