The BBS RI-D is a lightweight forged wheel made from aerospace-grade Duralumin, combining high strength with low unsprung mass. Its motorsport-inspired spoke design aids brake cooling and structural efficiency, while the matte black finish emphasizes a clean, functional look.
(sold as a single wheel)
The BBS RI-D is a forged monoblock wheel made from aerospace-grade Duralumin, an aluminum alloy chosen for its high strength-to-weight ratio. The forging process aligns the material’s grain structure, allowing the wheel to stay rigid under load while keeping unsprung mass low, which improves steering precision and responsiveness. Its spoke geometry reflects motorsport priorities, supporting brake cooling and structural efficiency, and the matte black finish keeps the design functional and understated. The RI-D is engineered to tight tolerances for consistent performance and long-term durability.
BBS forged wheels begin as billets of 6000-series aluminum or specialized magnesium alloy and are shaped through a proprietary multi-stage die-forging process applying up to 18 million pounds of pressure. Each stage is meticulously refined to produce some of the highest-quality forged wheels in the industry. Engineered for both lightweight performance and durability, BBS wheels maximize the stiffness-to-weight ratio while maintaining the safety and long-term reliability that define the brand.
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.
