Flow Forming: Less is more when flow-forming is used to increase the density of the wheel’s material structure. This is achieved by continuously rolling the rim well over a cylinder under high pressure and at a high temperature. The outcome is a wheel that new less material to be more resilient and lighter.

Test Procedure: Before a BBS light alloy wheel goes into serial production, it is subjected to extremely stringent testing. The European Wheel Directive encompasses all of the different test criteria that a modern-day wheel is expected to fulfil. These test criteria are still not enough for us, however, and some of our own standard outstrip the legal requirements in terms of long-term usage and rigidity tenfold.

Cast Lettering: Instead of applying decorative lettering or other design features to a finished wheel, it is far better to cast these things during one of the initial production stages. Some of the BBS wheel types are given their “Motorsport” lettering when they are first moulded in low-pressure casting.

Rim Protector: The biggest threat to a light alloy wheel is the kerb. But with our patented rim protectpr made of polished stainless steel, you can permanently safeguard the high-quality look of your wheels. Should the rim protector nonetheless show signs of damage further down the line, it can be replaced very easily at a minimal cost. |
