BBS Forged Line RI-A Wheel (18×9.5 5-120 +40) in Metallic Black Subtle Blue Flake [RIA009BB]

The BBS RI-A is a forged monoblock wheel built for cars that see both track use and everyday driving. Its multi-stage forging process increases aluminum density while keeping weight low, providing strength and durability without adding unnecessary mass. Reinforced spokes, carefully engineered load distribution, and a machined knurled bead seat work together to maintain stability and improve tire grip during spirited driving. Finished in Diamond Black, the RI-A delivers precise handling, consistent feedback, and a clean, functional design suited to performance-focused driving.

Forged Line

• BBS forged wheels begin as solid billets of 6000-series aluminum or proprietary magnesium alloy, shaped through a proprietary multi-stage die-forging process applying up to 18 million pounds of pressure. Each stage is carefully controlled to deliver industry-leading forged wheel quality. Built for lightweight performance and long-lasting durability, BBS wheels maximize the stiffness-to-weight ratio while ensuring the safety and 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.
