BBS RI-A 18x8.5 5x130 ET48 CB71.6 Matte Graphite Wheel

This is a BBS RI-A wheel, measuring 18 inches in diameter and 8.5 inches wide, with a 5x130 bolt pattern, ET48 offset, and a 71.6mm center bore, finished in Matte Graphite. BBS is well-known for its high-performance wheels, and the RI-A line is a popular choice for drivers who want a strong, lightweight wheel that can handle demanding conditions. This specific wheel is designed for vehicles that use a 5x130 bolt pattern and have the appropriate clearance for an ET48 offset and 71.6mm center bore.

The RI-A features BBS's advanced forged construction. This process involves shaping metal under extreme pressure, resulting in a wheel that is both incredibly strong and surprisingly lightweight. This combination is crucial for performance driving, as it reduces unsprung weight, which can improve handling, braking, and acceleration. The Matte Graphite finish offers a subtle yet aggressive look that complements many vehicle styles. The design also incorporates features to help dissipate heat from the brakes, a notable benefit during spirited driving or track use.

When installing these wheels, it's important to ensure you have the correct lug nuts or bolts for the 5x130 bolt pattern and the specified center bore. Always refer to your vehicle's owner's manual or consult with a professional to confirm fitment and proper installation procedures. These wheels are sold individually, so be sure to order the correct quantity for your vehicle.
