Tech Overview: BBS RT Wheels Close The Gap Between Road And Track

https://frontstreet.media/2016/03/23...oad-and-track/


Looks like the road going version of the E88 is starting to roll out as the RT88. $1,495.00 per wheel and starting at 19" sizes.

It's steep for sure, but these might be the best way to run the E88 look on the street.

I thought they stop making these wheels, the article you posted is from 2016.

Ah weird, I saw them on a BBS Germany post at a trade show today and searched for an article about them. My bad for not checking the date. Maybe they're bringing them back?

RT88s have always been a thing, but not readily available in 18in, mainly 19in+ it uses BBS LM barrels. that are stronger. than the motorsport barrel which will literally bend at any moment lol.

Maybe! That would be cool. It does say RT88-U so maybe the unlimited is the "new" batch.

It’s that time of the year again: The Essen Motor Show 2022 is in the starting blocks. This year, BBS will be on site again. At its fair stand (No. 3A47, hall 3) the light-alloy wheel manufacturer presents its new BBS Unlimited product range and the two-piece RT Unlimited (RT-U) wheel.
The RT Unlimited wheel design scores with its various customization possibilities of the wheel components. Furthermore, the RT Unlimited will participate in the World Wheel Award 2022 with glossy black rim bed and satin matte rim star. With some luck and support, BBS might save their third win in the World Wheel Award 2022 to be the most elegant and beautiful wheel of 2022.
Quality and reliability are valued in the motorsport segment and by car enthusiasts. These traditional pillars of the BBS brand are rooted in advanced design and manufacturing processes like forging and flow-forming, as proven countless times in the crucible of international motorsport. Now you can experience the passion with which BBS wheels are designed and manufactured first-hand on their fair stand at the Essen Motor Show.
