BBS Introduces New High Performance CM Wheel

First 2008 product line addition celebrates BBS iconic design cues

Braselton, GA (March 28, 2008) – BBS of America, a leader in the design and manufacturing of limited-volume, high-performance wheels, continues to expand its product line with the U.S. introduction of the new BBS CM wheel. A bold interpretation of the classic BBS radial spoke design, the all-new CM is the first of several new wheels that BBS will be adding to its 2008 product portfolio. Designed to meet the stringent factory performance demands of today’s most desired sports cars, including the 2008 BMW M3 and 2008 Audi S5, the BBS CM goes on sale in the U.S. market in April.

BBS wheels are the industry standard for unparalleled durability, thanks to their unique combination of light weight, strength and authentic, race-proven performance. The new counter pressure-cast BBS CM wheel is no exception. To withstand the special stresses of sporty driving as well as everyday road surface challenges, CM wheels also feature a flow formed inner rim to for even less weight and increased strength.

The CM’s potent DNA is complemented by timeless BBS design: the face of each CM wheel is diamond-cut and painted an aggressive black. For an additional signal of intent, the word “Performance” is inscribed into the hub. A stainless steel rim protector adds extra visual impact and ensures the CM wheel will continue to look like new for years to come, regardless of the driver’s penchant for testing the vehicle’s limits.

“The new CM wheel is the ideal choice for automotive connoisseurs who choose cars for their authentic performance character, not as a style statement,” says Craig Donnelly, Director of Technical Services at BBS of America. “The BBS brand has never been about fad or fashion, and our latest design is again intended to become a modern classic.”

With prices starting from only $560.00, the BBS CM wheel is currently available for many popular European applications in 18 x 8, 19 x 8.5 and 19 x 9.5 sizes.
