World Wheel Award 2023: The light-alloy wheel manufacturer BBS
from Germany applies with the RT Unlimited (RT-U) wheel
– At the Essen Motor Show, BBS presents the two-piece RT Unlimited for the first time. Here, the rim bed and rim star can be customized individually
– The RT Unlimited wheel is nominated for the World Wheel Award 2023 and becomes a part of the new BBS Unlimited design series
– BBS has already been chosen twice as the winner of the World Wheel Award
The Essen Motor Show is approaching and therefore the winner of the 5th World Wheel Award will be selected soon. In 2022 the light-alloy wheel manufacturer BBS participates again. This time with the new, two-piece RT Unlimited wheel. Besides the version which will be presented at the Essen Motor Show 2022, there are a variety of other color combinations in which rim bed and rim star can be chosen individually and independently of each other.
This year, the Essen Motor Show 2022 takes part from December 3 to December 11. Just like every other year, the fair visitors can vote for their favorite wheel of the World Wheel Award 2023. The wheel manufacturers with the most votes make it to the final round which is an online voting at VAU-MAX.de. There, the most beautiful and elegant wheel becomes the winner of the World Wheel Award 2023.
The light-alloy wheel manufacturer BBS is nominated as well and takes part with its new BBS RT Unlimited (RT-U) light-alloy wheel in 10,5 x 20 inches (offset is at 28 millimeters). The wheel will soon become a part of the Classic design line at BBS. The letters “R”, “T”, and “U” stand for “Racing”, “Track”, and “Unlimited”. Wheel sizes of 18, 19, and 20 inches and rim widths of 8 to 12 inches are planned.
For the World Wheel Award, the RT Unlimited wheel will be presented with a Glossy Black rim bed and a rim star in Satin Bronze directly at the Essen Motor Show 2022. Furthermore, the new wheel design can also be examined directly at the BBS fair stand (hall 3A, fair stand number 3A47). The color palette for individualizing the rim bed and rim star is currently in the making. In the future, BBS plans that new colors are possible at any time.
Those who want to equip their car with the new BBS RT Unlimited wheel need to stay patient: BBS intensively works for the launch of the wheel. Therefore, automotive enthusiasts can look forward to the design launch within the year 2023
