Premium Wheel Manufacturer BBS

retains “Best Wheels” title for 2016

The legendary alloy wheel brand maintains its lead at home and abroad
“Best Brands” and THEO Awards underline top quality
Ultra-light FI-R forged wheel chosen as wheel of the year

BBS, the premium alloy wheel manufacturer, maintains its position as the standard by which others are judged. The legendary wheel brand has once again scooped the top awards in the Readers' Choice category of Auto Motor und Sport (Best Brands), Auto Illustrierten (Best Brand) as well as TUNING and VW SPEED (THEO-Award).

“Our successes confirm the popularity BBS enjoys among the readers of these magazines. My thanks go to everyone who voted for BBS, as well as to our employees in the production and sales departments,” said Erwin Eigel, Head of Aftermarket at BBS. “These Best Brand awards also underline the demand for top quality wheels in a very competitive market.”

In the “Wheel of the Year 2016” contest of TUNING and VW SPEED magazine, the BBS FI-R wheel design was most favoured by readers in the “High Performance / Lightweight” category. Combining low weight with high strength, the 9.0J x 20-inch version of this ultra-light forged wheel tips the scales at 7.9 kg, lowering unsprung weight to the benefit of driving dynamics.

Stunning designs, high quality, and motorsport-derived technology are the foundations that have kept BBS at the leading edge of the alloy wheel industry. Its wide range of high-performance applications will continue to guarantee maximum driving pleasure plus superior comfort and safety "made in Germany" in the new season.
