BBS Unveiled Three New Wheels at Tokyo Auto Salon — Including a Street-Legal E88 Homage

BBS used Tokyo Auto Salon 2026 to unveil three genuinely new wheel designs rather than new sizes or finishes of existing ones. The headline piece is the MAG-R, a forged magnesium wheel built specifically for the BMW G8X M3, claimed to run over 30% lighter than the factory forged 20-inch wheel — and limited to just 50 sets worldwide, with pricing not yet disclosed.

The FL FORTEGA uses a proprietary in-house aluminum alloy BBS calls "FORTEGA," claimed to run about 10% lighter than standard T-6061 aluminum while holding the same rigidity — aimed squarely at the heavier curb weights that come with EVs, hybrids, and SUVs. The third design, the RT88, is a street-legal homage to the E88, a wheel that's previously only existed as a motorsport-only part: it combines the E88's center-face design with a one-piece barrel derived from BBS Japan's LM racing program, shown fitted to a Porsche 911 GT3 RS in 20-inch front and 21-inch rear center-lock sizing.

All three are real engineering departures rather than cosmetic refreshes, and the RT88 in particular is notable for taking a design enthusiasts have wanted on the street for years — previously locked behind a racing-only part number — and finally making it something you can actually buy and drive.
