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

Flow forming is a manufacturing technique where the rim of the wheel is shaped under high pressure after casting. This process makes the rim stronger and more resistant to deformation, while also allowing for a lighter overall wheel.

What does the 'Face 0' designation mean?

The 'Face 0' refers to the specific profile of the wheel's face. This design is often chosen to ensure adequate clearance for larger brake calipers and suspension components.

What is the offset of this wheel?

This BBS CI-R wheel has an offset of ET65.5. The offset is the distance from the wheel's mounting surface to the centerline of the wheel, and it affects how the wheel sits in relation to the vehicle's fender.

Product Details

The BBS CI-R wheel features a flow-formed rim, a manufacturing process that uses pressure to shape the inner rim after casting. This method makes the rim stronger and more resistant to deformation than standard casting alone, while also helping to reduce overall weight. The satin gold finish gives it a unique look that stands out from typical wheel finishes.

This particular wheel measures 19 inches in diameter and 8.5 inches wide, with an offset of ET65.5. The 'Face 0' designation refers to the specific profile of the wheel's face, which is designed to accommodate certain brake caliper sizes without interference. The flow-forming process contributes to a well-built wheel that balances strength and weight, making it a solid choice for those looking to improve their vehicle's stance and performance. The satin gold finish is applied with care, offering a durable and attractive appearance.

When considering a wheel upgrade, especially one with a specific offset and face profile like this BBS CI-R, it's important to ensure it will clear your vehicle's brake components and suspension. The flow-formed construction means you're getting a wheel that's not just about looks, but also about structural integrity. This wheel is a popular choice for drivers who appreciate the blend of advanced manufacturing techniques and distinctive styling that BBS is known for.
