Turn 14 Distribution, a performance parts distributor, has added BBS Wheels to its line card. With the addition of BBS’ full lineup of road wheels to its assortment, Turn 14 Distribution continues its strategy of expansion to include the highly sought-after products and provide its customers with the company’s distinguished wheel offerings.

"Turn 14 Distribution is pleased to add the BBS line of premium wheels. The BBS name is synonymous with motorsports and quality and we will now be able to offer it to our customers," said Kyle Shelley, Turn 14 Distribution's director of sales.

BBS has evolved from a small company founded in 1970 by a pair of amateur racers—Heinrich Baumgartner and Klaus Brand—to become a worldwide force in the design, engineering, and production of road and racing wheels. Each wheel profile is optimized to reduce unsprung weight while offering high strength and a world-class appearance.

The company’s road wheels are divided into three lines. The Forged Line is crafted from either billet aluminum or magnesium alloy, die-forged using up to 18 million pounds of pressure, and developed with optimized stiffness-to-weight ratios to provide safety and long-term durability.
 
BBS’ Performance Line is created using a unique flow-forming process, which uses a continuous rotational motion, three hydraulic rollers, and high pressure at high temperatures to assist in forming the inner wheel area. The process increases wheel strength and stiffness by changing the mechanical properties of the material.

The Design Line uses a low-pressure aluminum casting method to offer a high strength-to-weight ratio while preserving a low cost of acquisition for the consumer.
