Uncompromising. Aesthetic. Trend setting. BBS, the world’s premier alloy wheel manufacturer now offers its CI-R high-performance wheel design in 8.5J x 19-inch LK ET36 5/114.3 dimensions with ABE certification for the Tesla Model 3 Type 003 (Model years 2019-2020).


Minimalist design, state-of-the-art technology, long range: The Tesla Model 3 is the world's best-selling pure electric car, with more than a million units sold to date. It has been on sale in Germany since 2019.

Now BBS offers the CI-R alloy wheel in 8.5J x 19-inch LK ET36 5/114.3 with ABE certification for the Tesla Model 3 Type 003 (Model Years 2019-2020) in three different surface finishes of Satin Silver Platinum, Satin Black, Satin Bronze, plus a special Nürburgring Edition.


With its distinctive Y-spoke design, this one-piece alloy wheel showcases core BBS technical competencies such as the weight optimisation techniques developed in the crucible of motorsport. The flow-forming process that BBS has perfected for road wheels combines low weight with improved material strength, while the optional BBS collision protection system keeps ‘kerb rash’ at bay and the wheels looking good for longer.
