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

Flow forming is a manufacturing technique that improves the mechanical properties of the aluminum alloy. It involves spinning the wheel blank while applying pressure to the rim area, which compresses and stretches the metal. This process results in a stronger, lighter, and more durable rim compared to traditional casting methods.

Does this wheel come with a tire or lug nuts?

This product listing is for the BBS Unlimited CI-R wheel only. Tires, lug nuts, valve stems, and any necessary mounting hardware are sold separately and should be chosen based on your vehicle's specifications and personal preferences.

What is the 'Face 2' designation on this wheel?

The 'Face 2' designation refers to the specific concavity or profile of the wheel's face. Different face profiles are often used to accommodate varying brake caliper sizes and achieve different aesthetic looks, such as a deeper dish or a flatter appearance.
