BBS RG-F 16x7 4x100 ET35 Sport Silver Wheel -70mm PFS/Clip Required

This wheel, a perfect match for lightweight sports cars, features 10 cross spokes, akin to BBS racing wheels. It is a one-piece die-forged aluminum wheel, with its weight optimized through FEM analysis. BBS has been utilizing flow-forming technology since 1996, a process that employs continuous rotational motion with hydraulic rollers and intense pressure at high temperatures to "form" the inner rim area. This process enhances the mechanical properties of the cast rim, increasing its strength, stiffness, and impact resistance. The result is a high level of performance at a lower cost than a fully forged wheel. The manufacturing process involves: * Design: Continuous reinvention of classic wheel designs through sketches, drafts, and computer graphics in BBS's in-house studio. * Prototyping: Creation of individual prototypes from sketches and drafts after technical feasibility checks, with each wheel finished by hand. * Foundry: Transforming aluminum (heated to over 1,000 degrees Celsius) into light alloy wheels using skilled foundry workers and high-precision tools. The low-pressure casting process pours liquid raw material into molds, followed by a water bath cooling, resulting in a wheel at 400 degrees Celsius. * Quality Control: All rims undergo X-ray inspection after casting to ensure precision and functionality. * Flow Forming and Thermal Treatment: The rim well is rolled out under high pressure, compacting the material. Thermal treatment, including a round at over 500 degrees Celsius and subsequent loosening in a furnace at 150 degrees, significantly improves mechanical characteristics. * Precision Machining: Specialized CNC machines process each wheel to its final dimensions in seconds. Finishing includes deburring and checking for unevenness. * Lacquer Finish: A multi-step paint process in Herbolzheim ensures a perfect shine, beautiful surface, and long-lasting quality, utilizing state-of-the-art technologies. * Processing Center: Customization options like burnishing, pad printing, lasering, and ceramic polishing are available to enhance uniqueness.
