What does 'Face 1' mean for this BBS wheel?

The 'Face 1' designation refers to a specific design profile within the BBS CI-R wheel series. It indicates the particular curvature and spoke design of the wheel's face, which can vary across different faces within the same model line.

What is the offset (ET59) and why is it important?

The offset (ET59) is the distance from the wheel's mounting surface to the centerline of the wheel. A higher offset like ET59 means the wheel will sit further inward towards the suspension. This measurement is critical for ensuring proper clearance with your vehicle's brakes, suspension, and fenders.

Are these wheels sold individually or as a set?

Wheels like this are typically sold individually. To ensure proper balance and aesthetics for your vehicle, you will need to purchase a set of four wheels.

Product Details

BBS is a name synonymous with high-performance wheels, often found on race cars and enthusiast vehicles alike. They're known for their meticulous engineering and distinctive designs. This BBS Unlimited CI-R wheel, in a 21x8.5 size with a 59mm offset and a Satin Black finish, carries that legacy forward. It's a cast aluminum wheel, a popular choice for balancing strength and weight.

The CI-R model features a unique design with its spokes flowing towards the outer rim, creating a dynamic visual effect. The Satin Black finish offers a sophisticated, understated look that can complement a wide range of vehicle colors. This particular wheel is designated as 'Face 1', indicating a specific design profile within the CI-R lineup. The 21-inch diameter and 8.5-inch width provide a substantial presence, while the ET59 offset is a key measurement that dictates how the wheel sits in relation to the fender. Proper offset is crucial for ensuring clearance with suspension components and bodywork, and for achieving the desired stance.

When considering a wheel of this caliber, it's important to confirm fitment for your specific vehicle. This includes checking bolt patterns, center bore, and ensuring the overall dimensions and offset will work without interference. Wheels are often sold individually, so you'll want to plan for purchasing a full set of four to maintain proper vehicle balance and aesthetics. While this wheel is well-built, it's always a good idea to consult your vehicle's manual or a trusted mechanic to ensure compatibility with your braking system and suspension.
