BBS RS Double Step Forged Wheels – 17×9.5″ Square Set | BMW E36 Fitment | Elite BBS Wheels | Motorsport Silver / Polished Lip / Gold Hardware

The BBS RS Double Step is one of the most coveted wheel designs in the classic BBS catalogue — and this square set, built to aggressive E36 stance specs, represents exactly the kind of purposeful, no-compromise build that defines what Elite BBS Wheels does best. This specific set has already sold, but we can build another one to the exact same specification — or tailor it entirely to your own dimensions, offset preferences, and finish choices. If you want the most aggressive, correct-looking BBS RS fitment for your E36, this is the blueprint.

What Makes These Wheels Special

• BBS RS Double Step Face Design — The Double Step designation sets this apart from standard BBS RS variants. The additional stepped depth in the face profile creates a more layered, visually complex appearance that enthusiasts specifically seek out. Combined with the iconic RS mesh spoke pattern and the wide 9.5″ face, this is a wheel that fills the arch with genuine authority and presence.
• Gold Hardware Throughout — The gold bolt hardware is not a minor detail — it is the detail that ties the entire build together. Against the Motorsport Silver face and the deep polished lip, the gold bolts catch the light and reference the golden era of BBS motorsport in the most direct way possible. Classic. Period-correct. Impossible to improve on.
• Polished Lips with Deep Step — The 7″ double step lip depth on this build is substantial — creating the kind of deep dish profile that makes a square set like this genuinely dramatic from every angle. Fully polished to a mirror finish, the lips add light, width, and depth that a shallow-lip RS simply cannot replicate.
• Square Set for Maximum Stance Impact — Running the same 17×9.5″ sizing all four corners delivers a consistent, symmetrical stance that works perfectly with the E36 body. A square set simplifies tyre rotation, allows full interchangeability between positions, and on a car like the E36, creates one of the most balanced and visually satisfying fitments available in this wheel size.
• Genuine BBS Two-Piece Construction — Built on genuine BBS RS rim halves with authentic BBS hardware. Every component is real BBS — delivering the structural integrity, period correctness, and long-term quality that replica builds cannot match.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Primary Fitment — BMW E36 — Built to aggressive E36 stance specs on the correct 5×120 bolt pattern with 72.56mm center bore. This is a fitment built from experience — sized and offsetted specifically to achieve the stance the E36 platform deserves.
• Aggressive Spec — This is an intentionally aggressive fitment. Minor suspension adjustment or arch work may be required depending on your specific E36 variant and configuration. Contact us before ordering to confirm suitability for your car.
• Build To Order — This exact set has sold. We can build another to identical specifications, or we can build to your custom dimensions, offset, finish, and hardware preferences. Every build is tailored — nothing is off the shelf.
