BBS RT88 barrel finish and BKBD (Black Bright Diamond Cut)
When configuring a set of BBS RT88 wheels, the focus is often on the center finish. However, the barrel and outer lip finish play an equally important role in the overall appearance.
Standard barrel finish
The standard barrel finish is typically delivered in a clean, technical tone that emphasizes the motorsport character of the RT88. It provides a subtle contrast to the wheel center and keeps the overall design balanced and functional.
- Clean and understated appearance
- Motorsport-inspired look
- Easy to combine with all center finishes
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
