What is the BBS PFS technology?

PFS stands for Perimeter Forged Super-Forged. This is a unique BBS technology that further strengthens the outer rim of the wheel, a critical area for impact resistance and overall durability.

What does the 'ET22' offset mean?

ET22 refers to the wheel's offset, which is the distance from the mounting surface of the wheel to the centerline of the wheel. A positive offset like ET22 means the mounting surface is closer to the outside of the wheel, which can affect how the wheel sits in the fender well.

What is required for installation with this wheel?

This BBS RI-A wheel is designed with an 82mm hub bore and requires a specific PFS clip for proper installation. It's important to ensure you have these components and verify fitment with your vehicle's suspension and brake system.
