For many car-lovers, the BBS RS is the perfect example of a classic, when it comes to selec - ting high-quality wheels. The timeless design with the elegant cross-spokes has made the hearts of countless fans beat faster since the 1980s. Now BBS responds to the consistently high demand for the legendary design with a spectacular new edition: the BBS Super RS is the new successor, which will carry forth the legacy of its predecessor with style and digni - ty. The two-piece forged wheel combines the classical RS multi-spoke look with technical fi - nesse and typical BBS premium quality.

Forging Technology - Forging is a non-cutting forming process for material in a heated, solid condition. In order to generate the highest degree of material density and weight reduction at top performance from our high-strength and durable aluminum or magnesium alloys, they are further enhanced in a complex forging process. This entails placing the heated star hub or the entire wheel blank in a press and compressing it in several work steps at 5000 to 8000 tons of closing pressure to further densify the material in a special form known as a matrix. In between the individual work steps, the blank is repeatedly heated to approx. 400 degrees centigrade. As a result an optimal material structure is achieved particularly at the areas of high strain, the wheel can be dimensioned smaller, and is thereby lighter in weight.
Weight Optimized - Because the spokes are back-milled, the optimal ratio between weight and stability is achieved for a light alloy wheel. This is achieved using a special CNC milling process, where the lateral parts that hold the wheel spokes, and are not relevant for stability, are removed to reduce the weight of the wheel‘s rotating mass.
