BBS RG-R 18x9.5 5x114.3 ET38 Diamond Black Wheel PFS

BBS is well-known for their high-performance wheels, often seen on race cars and high-end performance vehicles. This RG-R wheel, specifically the RG701DBK model, carries that legacy forward. It's an 18-inch diameter wheel with a 9.5-inch width, designed with a 5x114.3 bolt pattern and an ET38 offset. The Diamond Black finish gives it a sharp, sophisticated look that stands out.

This RG-R wheel is forged, a manufacturing process that starts with a solid block of aluminum which is then subjected to immense pressure. This creates a wheel that is incredibly strong yet surprisingly lightweight. The forging process aligns the grain structure of the metal, resulting in a denser, more durable wheel compared to cast wheels. This strength is crucial for handling the stresses of spirited driving and maintaining wheel integrity over time. The 18x9.5 size and ET38 offset are chosen to offer a balance between aggressive stance and practical fitment for many performance applications.

The PFS (Perimeter Fastening System) is a unique BBS feature that moves the lug nut seat to the very outer edge of the wheel. This not only contributes to the wheel's distinctive aesthetic but also allows for a larger brake caliper clearance without needing an excessively large wheel diameter. This means you can often fit larger, more powerful braking systems behind these wheels. The Diamond Black finish is applied with precision, offering a deep, lustrous appearance that resists fading and corrosion under normal driving conditions.
