The BBS RI-A is a forged monoblock wheel developed for serious track use while remaining fully streetable. Its multi-stage forging keeps weight low without compromising strength, and the reinforced spoke design helps maintain stability under heavy cornering and braking loads. A knurled bead seat reduces tire slip during hard acceleration, making it well suited for performance driving. Finished in Diamond Silver, it delivers precise handling in a clean, functional package.

The BBS RI-A is a forged monoblock wheel built with real track use in mind, yet practical enough for street driving. Its multi-stage forging process increases material density while keeping overall weight low, which helps maintain strength without adding unnecessary mass. The reinforced spoke layout is engineered to manage cornering and braking loads efficiently, keeping the wheel stable when the car is driven hard. Load distribution across the face is carefully considered, so steering response stays consistent as grip levels rise. A knurled bead seat is machined into the barrel to reduce tire slip under heavy acceleration and braking, a detail that matters when running aggressive compounds. Finished in Diamond Silver, the RI-A carries a clean, purposeful look that matches its balanced, 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.
