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

The flow-forming process starts with a cast aluminum wheel that is then spun and pressed under heat and pressure. This refines the aluminum's grain structure, making the wheel stronger and lighter than a standard cast wheel.

What does the ET45 offset and Face 2 profile mean for my vehicle?

The ET45 offset indicates how far the wheel hub mounting surface is from the wheel's centerline, influencing how the wheel sits in the fender. Face 2 refers to a specific concave profile of the wheel spokes, contributing to its overall aesthetic and design.

What other parts might I need when installing these wheels?

When installing new wheels, you may need appropriate lug nuts or bolts that match your vehicle's thread pitch and the wheel's seat type. Tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) sensors may also need to be transferred or replaced.

Product Details

The BBS CI-R wheel is built using a flow-forming process, which starts with a well-built cast aluminum wheel that is then spun and pressed under heat and pressure. This process refines the grain structure of the aluminum, making it stronger and tougher, similar to a forged wheel but with the cost-effectiveness of casting. This particular wheel measures 20 inches in diameter and 9 inches wide, with an ET45 offset and a Face 2 profile, finished in a sophisticated Satin Platinum.

This flow-formed construction means you get a wheel that’s not only strong but also surprisingly lightweight for its size. The 20x9 dimensions and ET45 offset are designed to offer a balanced look and feel on many vehicles, providing a noticeable stance improvement without compromising too much on ride quality or requiring extensive modifications. The Satin Platinum finish offers a subtle yet distinct aesthetic that complements a wide range of vehicle colors and styles, making it a popular choice for those looking to enhance their car's appearance.

When you're looking to upgrade your vehicle's wheels, choosing a BBS CI-R means you're investing in a blend of performance engineering and aesthetic appeal. The flow-forming process is a key differentiator, allowing for a wheel that can handle the demands of daily driving and spirited performance while maintaining a refined look. Remember to check your vehicle's specific fitment requirements, including bolt pattern and center bore, to ensure this wheel is the right choice for your application.
