The BBS RI-D is a lightweight forged monoblock wheel made from aerospace-grade Duralumin, engineered to minimize weight while maintaining structural strength. Its motorsport-focused design supports brake clearance and airflow, improving steering response and overall handling, all in a clean matte black finish built for long-term durability.
(sold as a single wheel)
The BBS RI-D is a forged monoblock wheel built from aerospace-grade Duralumin, a high-strength aluminum alloy chosen for its rigidity and low mass. The forging process allows material to be distributed only where it’s structurally necessary, keeping weight down without sacrificing strength, which translates to reduced unsprung mass and more immediate steering response. The spoke design reflects motorsport priorities like brake clearance and airflow, and the matte black finish keeps the look understated and functional. It’s a technically driven wheel engineered with tight tolerances and long-term durability in mind.
BBS forged wheels are crafted from billets of 6000-series aluminum or specialized magnesium alloy and formed using a proprietary multi-stage die-forging process that applies up to 18 million pounds of pressure. Each step is carefully refined to produce some of the highest-quality forged wheels in the industry. Designed for lightweight performance and exceptional durability, BBS wheels optimize the stiffness-to-weight ratio while preserving the safety and reliability the brand is known for.
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.
