BBS RI-A

slicer · 05-30-2017, 05:44 PM

I'm selling my RIA's (with the Hankook TD's) if interested see the link to my for-sale post:

http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1420553

I just tried out a new release from BBS and thought you all might be interested. They look exactly like a BBS FI but they cost significantly less. Still forged, still the same BBS quality, but weight is up about 2 lbs+/- to 19.5 lbs each.

18 x 9.5 et23
265/35/18 Hankook TD

18 x 10.5 et25
295/30/18 Hankook TD

BBS sells them around $4,200 IIRC

I do not detect any difference with the FI's. You need to compare them to the 18" FI's (RKP version). The 19's will of course have longer spokes and look a little different.

6ixSpd · 05-30-2017, 10:33 PM

The FI's spokes are sharper and more linear but these still look great. Are they a new release?

becausephilchow · 05-30-2017, 10:51 PM

New-ish. Have been available in Japan for a little bit already.

I don't see what you are seeing. At all.

6ixSpd · 05-30-2017, 11:22 PM

Look at the spokes. The FI are straighter and have less of a Y design than these.

See my pics. The only difference I see is the size of the center cap. The FI may have a slightly narrower spoke where it meets the rim.

Not yet...mounted the Michelins, cleaned them up real good and added the Red spoke decals and Red valve caps. lol

The reason why I haven't mounted them yet, is because my TAs went out a few days ago SMH.

Waiting on the replacement parts to arrive this week, gonna get my car up and running again...then I'm going to mount them.

Exactly. The spoke design is definitely different between the two. The FI's spokes are more straight whereas these have a narrowing angle all the way from the rim edge to the center of the rim.

Moreover, what you're suggesting wouldn't make sense for BBS. Why would they make a copy of wheel they already have and release it at a slightly cheaper price point and only make one small alteration to the center?

The differences are subtle, but they're there.

Regardless, yours do look nice and it's cool to see another wheel from BBS for these cars.
