What is the flow-forming process used for this BBS wheel?

The flow-forming process involves applying pressure to the inner wheel bore while it spins. This stretches and compresses the aluminum, refining its grain structure to create a stronger and tougher wheel compared to traditional casting methods.

What does the 'Face 2' designation mean for this wheel?

The 'Face 2' refers to the specific concavity or profile of the wheel's spokes. BBS offers different face profiles for the same wheel size and offset to accommodate various brake caliper clearances and aesthetic preferences.

Does this wheel come with a tire or lug nuts?

This product listing is for the wheel only. Tires, lug nuts, valve stems, and any necessary hub-centric rings or adapters are sold separately and should be chosen based on your vehicle's specific requirements.

Product Details

BBS is a well-known name in the performance wheel world, and their CI-R wheel is a popular choice for drivers looking for a blend of strong looks and solid engineering. This particular wheel is a 19x10 inch size with a +46 offset and a Face 2 profile, finished in a clean Satin Platinum. It's built using a flow-forming process, which helps create a wheel that's both strong and relatively lightweight compared to traditional cast wheels.

The flow-forming technique BBS uses involves applying pressure to the inner wheel bore as it spins, stretching and compressing the metal. This process refines the grain structure of the aluminum, resulting in a wheel with higher tensile strength and toughness. This means the CI-R can handle the demands of spirited driving while keeping unsprung weight down, which is always a good thing for handling and ride quality. The Satin Platinum finish gives it a sophisticated, understated look that complements a wide range of vehicle colors.

When you're looking at a wheel like this, it's important to consider how it will fit your specific vehicle. The 19x10 size and ET46 offset are key dimensions that determine clearance with suspension components and fenders. While this wheel is designed for performance, always double-check fitment for your exact make and model to ensure it clears your brakes and doesn't rub on the bodywork. This wheel is sold individually, so you'll need to order four for a complete set.
