Interesting and sad at the same time. High metal prices with a diminished profit margain has forced BBS to file for bankruptcy.

They are restructuring. Hopefully for the better.

Also BBS America and BBS Japan are seperate companies and have been making a profit.

And no, BBS wheels will go up in price if anything.

Speed Star/ SSR did the same thing a few years back. Wheel prices won’t change much if at all. The onlything is some of the older gen wheels will not be reporduced and may become a bit harder to find.

There are enough vendors with BBS wheels stocked, so no need to panic.
