BBS LM 19" 5x120 Selenite Bronze Center / Diamond Cut Lip | LM434SNB-BKD

It all starts with an idea.
The designers at BBS are continuously reinventing the classic wheel design. This requires numerous sketches, drafts and computer graphics, which are created in BBS’ in-house design studio in idyllic Schiltach.

Prototyping
The history of BBS began over 50 years ago in idyllic Schiltach. Even today, craftsmanship is at the heart of every high-quality BBS wheel. After checking the technical feasibility, individual prototypes – the first 3D designs – are created from the sketches and draft designs. Each and every BBS wheel is unique. From the prototype and its subsequent development through to mechanical processing, each BBS wheel is finished by hand.

Foundry
To transform the aluminum, which has been heated to over 1,000 degrees Celsius, into a stunning BBS light alloy wheel, our foundry workers require an immense amount of skill as well as a number of high-precision tools. The liquid metal is first temporarily stored in four holding furnaces before it is poured into the machine furnaces. The low-pressure casting process is when the liquid raw material is poured into the mold. The wheel blank is then cooled in a water bath. After about seven minutes, the newly created BBS wheel is still at a temperature of 400 degrees Celsius.
