BBS RI-A 18x11 5x130 ET50 CB71.6 Gold Wheel

This is a BBS RI-A forged wheel, measuring 18 inches in diameter with an 11-inch width. It features a 5x130 bolt pattern, a +50 offset (ET50), and a 71.6mm center bore (CB71.6). This particular wheel comes in a striking gold finish.

Forged wheels like these are known for their strength and light weight, making them a popular choice for performance applications. The forging process involves shaping metal under extreme pressure, which creates a denser, more uniform grain structure than casting. This results in a wheel that is significantly stronger and more resistant to bending or cracking under stress, while also being lighter than a comparable cast wheel. The 18x11 size and 5x130 bolt pattern are specific fitments, often found on certain performance vehicles that benefit from a wider stance and the reduced unsprung weight that forged wheels offer. The +50 offset is also a critical measurement that dictates how the wheel sits in relation to the suspension and fender.

This BBS RI-A wheel is sold individually, so you'll need to order four if you're replacing a full set. It's important to confirm fitment for your specific vehicle, as wheel specifications like bolt pattern, offset, and center bore must match your car's requirements to ensure proper installation and safe operation. Always consult your vehicle's manual or a trusted mechanic if you're unsure about wheel compatibility.
