What is the Positive Flow System (PFS) and why is it needed?

The Positive Flow System (PFS) is a design feature that helps manage airflow around the wheel and braking components. This specific BBS RI-A wheel requires the PFS and a corresponding clip for proper installation and function.

What makes forged wheels different from cast wheels?

Forged wheels are made by shaping aluminum under extreme pressure, which results in a denser, stronger, and lighter material compared to cast wheels. This makes them more resistant to bending and cracking under stress.

What kind of hardware is needed for installation?

This wheel requires specific mounting hardware and the PFS clip. It is recommended to consult the manufacturer's installation guide or contact customer support to ensure you have the correct hardware for your vehicle.

Product Details

BBS is well-known for their high-performance forged wheels, and the RI-A model continues that tradition. This particular wheel is an 18x9.5 inch forged wheel with a 5x120 bolt pattern and a +40 offset, finished in a striking Metallic Black with a subtle blue flake that catches the light. It's designed for vehicles that require the PFS (Positive Flow System) and a specific clip, with a center bore of 82mm.

Forged wheels like the RI-A are constructed by hammering aluminum into shape under immense pressure. This process creates a denser, stronger, and lighter wheel compared to cast wheels. The result is a wheel that can handle significant stress, making it a solid choice for performance driving. The 18x9.5 size offers a good balance for fitting wider tires, which can improve grip and handling, while the 5x120 bolt pattern and ET40 offset are common on many performance vehicles. The Metallic Black finish with blue flake provides a unique look that stands out.

This wheel requires specific mounting hardware and the PFS system, so be sure to confirm compatibility with your vehicle's existing setup or consult the manufacturer's fitment guide. The PFS system is designed to help manage airflow around the braking system, potentially aiding in cooling.
