BBS Wheels - Manufacturing & Technology

Wheel manufacturing and technology overview in a short clip from the BBS factory.

[@mkmgcok]

||100,000t Mechanical Press||. There's been designed a mechanical (not hydraulic) press machine, at least 100,000t. It's been designed by the elderly inventor all alone. The innovation uses the inventor's know-how, invention and great engineering experience in the field. Do you think they say:"Wow! I want that press machine at any cost!" ?! The cost is quite definite, by the way. Don’t you feel the irony of the moment? We’ve left the stone age, just now, for the age of the regular space flights! The 100,000t press machine is the hallmark of the new era....But they don't seem to burst into tears, in great excitement, and to start promoting the project. If you'd like or know-how to support the inventor and his project, please contact me.

I used to be quite a fan of BBS, this video has just flicked the switch!

[@drftwitstyle7]

Got my set of BBS RS's on my FC Rx-7. Rotaries and BBS...best of both worlds.

[@eurojulien]

Really interesting video; makes me remember my productions management class more than anything!

[@frostbite1991]

this is like the video you watch during orientation at a BBS factory

[@heuer21]

My VW GLI came with 18x7.5 BBS RCs from the Factory. I love them to death! and they have never seen winter.

[@zlyable]

Germany & Japan makes the best shit on earth

[@Ch1ckenp0pper]

thumbs up if this guy's voice sends you to sleep - even if you're not tired.

[@michaelschneider-]

Great wheel manufacture details ... Luv the VW/BBS on our GTI.

[@FastMoneyStacks69]

great rims specially on bmw's...I some gold bbs's on my black 325e and they were turning heads...thanks for the vid!

[@e39dreamBITCH]

cool video! I

[@musicISlyf1]

being in that warehouse must feel like being in a gold mine.

[@nvrndingsmmr]

It's ok to be proud of yourself for a job well done xD

[@K64250]

The music makes it feel like 1993

[@CaliPatriot88]

@muh1h1 Yes BBS is in fact a German wheel company and make OEM wheels such as for BMW and aftermarket wheels. They outsource to wheel manufacturing plant in Japan which gives rise to the common misconception they are Japanese.

[@honorabili]

Love the music :D

[@spforsupergringo1980]

BBS + VDUB = EPIC

[@apexdna]

From the og-madedotcom, " ... a plant tour of the Work Wheels Factory ... they had a row of machines with a caption; The low pressure casting machines at Okayama 2 Factory. Low pressure casting is inferior to, of course, high pressure casting. That being said ... its evidence as to why Spoon Sports had some Work wheels crack on them during their 25-hour enduro." And to top it off, Work Wheels is known for making copies of the original designs by AME (Enkei) and Asanti (Lexani) ...

[@greenrolaids]

i love videos where they pat themselves on the back every 1 min.

[@BMW_MAN]

Thought that rims are not very good quality, because of the ice, I hit a tree by wheel, rim was no damage. Vehicle suspension was all spoiled. After this case, I appreciate the quality of BBS.

[@jaymistry3560]

BBS RIMS ARE AWESOME AND I NEED A PAIR RS's FOR MY WINTER BUILD I SAID IT ONCE AND I SAY IT AGAIN BBS WHEELS ARE FUCKIN AWESOME AND ARE THE BEST TO BBS YOU GUYS FUCKIN ROCK I ONLY BUY BBS

[@staux18]

Like they say in the video they make OEM wheels, which means they make wheel for alot of car factories.

[@HansMuller54]

Excelent video. Thanks

[@alexasmithy]

very interesting video thanks

[@juano402]

it looks so oldschool

[@MrROTD]

With the hollow space Idea you could put helium in each wheel to reduce unsprung wieght without reducing strength at all. Just picture a wheel that has as much internal space as possible. Is it possible to fill ordinary tires with helium? I bet it would help alot especially off road racing.

[@thorick590]

it's unsprung mass that matters, adding helium doesn't reduce the mass of the wheel.

[@12131AllDay]

watch the movie ''paid in full" bbs rims were dope in the 80's thats it

[@99Lezard99]

very similar to rays wheels video. But rays are forged. So they are more expensive and also lighter of course. But after the forge process its about the same.

[@tkcwu]

@AkatsukiRei Just got some 19" M3 wheels was not considering it, BBS are hot but the weight difference was way too much the 19" M3's forges weight a hell of a lot lighter than BBS.

[@vanquishkrerk]

bbs makes wheels for alpina too!

[@hamwallet13]

Yeah! America!

[@003mauri]

Sold myself into BBS.

[@3fICaz043]

i love bbs

[@MrAuteq]

i love it

[@MrROTD]

Filling your tires with helium would save you a few pounds per tire but containing helium could be a problem without proper sealant.

[@OjaysAdventures]

this vid looks sooo old skool ahhhh

[@TheCarDude1]

damn i must have that design book 1:34

[@apexdna]

ROTA ?! Not only are they making copies of countless of designs from RS-Watanabe, Regamaster, RAYS Engineering, and many others, but they're also prone to crack quite as often - look up "rota crack" on google, you'll be amazed ...

[@allclassics]

Old world manufacturing style they have to get up to date and increase quality and lower cost.

[@apexdna]

I would say ENKEI is on par with BBS, if you did any reading that is. Same goes for the Japanese and German cars ...

[@StingRayINC]

BBS is the BEst

[@jacejai]

wow... i saw my evo rims in here :)

[@Vukasin88]

God drives BBS!!!

[@Deltaspeed93]

Uhhhh.....Where Can I get some barrels for my RK2s? The only company that comes close to BBS and they are heavier than costipated stool are Ronal. They are out of business I think?

[@MiggyMSS]

[@psychonaut25]
