BMW changes wheel rims on M4 GT3 after cracks and accidents
BMW Motorsport boss Andreas Roos has revealed that they have switched from Rimstock wheel rims to BBS due to technical issues and Rimstock’s bankruptcy.
Originally planned for 2025, the introduction of BBS wheel rims was accelerated to address problems encountered with Rimstock.
The new BBS rims, honed from experience in Japan’s Super GT series, have been integrated across BMW’s racing models.
Roos is confident that previous issues, such as potential cracks, have been eliminated with the new BBS rims.
The FIA-approved post-homologation change also required adjustments to wheel mounts.
Customer teams have appreciated BMW’s swift response to the wheel rim issue and the rapid solution provided.
