BBS - buy them while they last cause...

[JohnC]

They have BIG problems..

BBS Announces ....... (http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.automobilwoche.de%2Fa pps%2Fpbcs.dll%2Farticle%3FAID%3D%2F20070206%2FDPA %2F702060376%2F1060&langpair=de%7Cen&hl=en&safe=off&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&prev=%2Flanguage_tools)

Happens but it's not like there aren't many quality wheel brands to choose from.

[Gnnr]

So I'm getting from the article that they filled for Bankruptcy protection? Don't think they'll go out of business. This seems to be normal business procedure nowadays (Burger King, AT&T, etc).

subaru heads are gonna be devastated..

[wootwoot]

Toyota has used BBS more then Subaru has. Somebody will buy them up and put their equipment and hopefully the full compound to good use. If it ever gets that far.

[atom]

BBS Japan is a separate corporation from BBS Germany, which is different from BBS USA. So just because BBS Germany is having problems doesn't mean BBS wheels will disappear. On one of the Bimmer forums a Tire Rack rep. said that as of now it doesn't affect their ability to get wheels from BBS USA at all.

when i the blow out sale?????even office equipment..or is that in germany only...i think theres more than one BBS.

let's see how many 240 owners run bbs, hmm, i'm thinking it's in the neighborhood of 0.0005%, most 240's run stockers, and most upgrades are the 5zigen fn's, and then gram lights here and there, volk, work, weds...

bbs is expensive, even if there is a blow out sale, it'll still be too pricey for cheapskates here, lol

But mine havnt been made since '95, thats why I have 12 of them. I dont think it will affect anyone on this board if BBS goes under.

you read my mind. im a euro whore at heart. this saddens me. im actually really suprised by this. bbs is/was a HUGE oem wheel manufacturer. bmw, porsche, etc. i <3 bbs. :wtc:

[Azzazzyn]

I wouldn't mind rocking a set of bbs if they were black with a chrome lip

[brainfood]

^ damn, good thing you got those overfenders...

I ran them on stock fenders, they have +25mm spacers front and rear. Actually sell them soon though for 17/18 stagger.

Running coopers

[infinitexsound]

eh theyre not all that great, who loves road racing with a 3 piece wheel and once in awhile ending up with a flat tire because of a leaky wheel....

1 piece always.. and bbs only looks good on bmw and porches.... imho

[A Spec Products]

That's what you get when you have Tirerack sell your wheels in the US.

Ooooooooooooooooooh

Nah that has nothing to do with it but just wanted to say it.

[brainfood]

Selling mine soon, after I refinish them. Moving up to 17/18 stagger

[illvialuver]

damnnnnn logan that was funny. i think bbs are good wheels, somebody will probley still make them but under a different name, and yes most 240s i see rock fns..................

[wootwoot]

Most BBS are made as mono block

and TireRack can definitely hurt your business since they are some sons of a bitch who wont sell you what you want but what they say fits your car

[PBucch]

I think the VW guys would be hte hardest hit.

no big deal for reasons said above.
