BKBD – Black Bright Diamond Cut

The BKBD (Black Bright Diamond Cut) finish adds a completely different dimension. This finish combines a dark base with precision-machined surfaces, creating a sharp contrast and a more luxurious appearance.

Light reflection plays a key role here, as the diamond cut surface highlights the structure of the wheel in different conditions.

  • High contrast finish
  • Premium, high-end appearance
  • Strong visual depth and reflection
