BBS Design

Manufacturing Detail
Initial Design Sketches:
Behind every new BBS light alloy wheel lies a great idea. Using the first set of design sketches, designers are able to develop the product characteristics that will make each wheel an individual masterpiece whilst also incorporating typical BBS design values. One of these design values is the characteristic BBS cross spoke that can be found adding sporting dynamics on roads all across the world in its many variations.
Computer Simulation:
Once the basic design has been constructed on the computer, every detail of the development process can then be simulated and changed on screen. Thanks to the latest 3D technology, developers can view a photo-realistic model of the wheel they're producing. They are also able to adjust the model to view slight changes in proportions or the two-colour paintwork. Once all of the design features have been decided upon, the model is transferred to the CAD system to move one step closer to a live prototype.
Final Design:
When developing a new wheel, once the first prototype has been built and initially tested, it's time to start the construction optimisation phase. During this phase, it may be necessary to adjust, remodel or even discard the wheel design. However, one thing is guaranteed when already developing the initial sketches for a new BBS light alloy wheel: at the end of all the tests, simulations and prototypes there will be a new product and a final design.
Colour / Finish Selection:
Developing a new BBS wheel doesn't just involve creating a new design, it also means selecting appropriate surface finishes as well as a unique and innovative colour scheme. For this reason, all BBS departments work hand in hand from the beginning of the development phase to guarantee the successful completion of all production stages. Even during the paintwork stage, new methods are continually being developed to help ensure BBS maintains its reputation as a leader in quality and innovation. Starting with the first prototype, various paintwork techniques and colours are tested to make sure the appearance of a new light alloy wheel is as athletic and dynamic as its performance.
Hidden Weights:
Product design in detail: when developing a new wheel, particular attention is given to attaining perfection right from the very first design. For BBS this means not only making aesthetic improvements but also significantly increasing the wheel's performance. An example of such an improvement is hidden weight. To achieve the aim of hiding the not exactly attractive balancing weights, a new construction has been designed to hide the weights underneath the rim protectors. The result is aesthetically pleasing as well as performance enhancing.
