What is the flow-forming process used for these BBS wheels?

The flow-forming process begins with a cast aluminum wheel. Intense pressure and heat are then applied to the rim area, refining the aluminum's grain structure. This makes the rim stronger and lighter than traditional casting alone, contributing to better performance.

What does 'Face 2' mean for this BBS CI-R wheel?

The 'Face 2' designation refers to the specific concavity and design of the wheel's spokes. This particular spoke profile is often optimized for certain vehicle fitments to provide both a visually appealing look and adequate clearance for larger brake calipers.

What other parts might I need when installing these wheels?

When installing new wheels, you will likely need a new set of lug nuts that are compatible with the wheel's bolt pattern and seat type. It's also recommended to verify the correct tire size for the 10.5-inch wheel width to ensure optimal performance and fitment.

Product Details

If you're looking to give your performance vehicle a serious upgrade in both looks and handling, a set of BBS CI-R wheels is a popular choice. These 19x10.5 inch wheels, finished in a striking Satin Bronze, are designed to make a statement while also contributing to a more responsive driving experience. The 'Face 2' designation refers to the specific concavity of the wheel spokes, which is optimized for certain vehicle fitments to provide both aesthetic appeal and clearance for larger brake components.

Crafted using BBS's advanced flow-forming process, the CI-R wheels start as a cast aluminum wheel that is then subjected to intense pressure and heat. This process refines the aluminum's grain structure, making it stronger and lighter than traditional casting methods alone. This improved strength-to-weight ratio means you get a wheel that can withstand the rigors of spirited driving while reducing unsprung mass, which can lead to better acceleration, braking, and suspension response. The Satin Bronze finish is applied with care, offering a unique look that stands out from typical silver or black wheels.

When considering a wheel upgrade of this caliber, it's important to ensure proper fitment for your specific vehicle. While these wheels are designed with performance in mind, always confirm compatibility with your car's suspension and braking system. You'll also want to consider the appropriate tire size to match the 10.5-inch width for optimal performance and ride quality. Remember that new wheels often require a new set of lug nuts, so be sure to check if those are included or need to be purchased separately.
