A catching solution failed. The technology leader with high-quality light alloy wheels had still briefly before communicated the change at the point of the supervisory board. The former minister of economics of Baden-Wuerttemberg Walter Doering should replace Hans-Peter Hirner (71).

BBS had communicated in August 2006 that the enterprise had to accept a result depression because of aluminum prices snapped the strongly up.

Maybe if they cut back on the outrageous prices of there rims and some jobs, they’ll be okay. i call bullshit on rising aluminum prices, just an excuse. They make good rims but just to expensive for the type of people who would buy them.

Hmmm … popular day for going bankrupt. First BBS, then APEX’i?

Who’s next?

this is just a hint of whats happening with all the knock offs in every industry…
very few companies are actually growing in size cuz of the market saturation…

sucks eh?

Wow, that is really ass

This means nothing for us consumers. Its just a countermeasure to get the company out of financial trouble.

true reason is all the idiot ricers support buying fake bbs rims that even have the hub cap and try to look cool without paying the price for quality rims…

its not the rim company that is expensive its the ppl that are cheap. " just too expensive for the type of ppl who buy them? " cheap ppl that are poor type should not buy them.

and if products were not so great then there would not be knockoffs of it

Are my BBS going to be collector items?

Awesome! they make great winter rims!

apexi…:wtf:

walbros going to be next lol

i want bbs lm’s
hawt fyahh!

If I’m not mistaken, though I might be, my interpretation of the bankruptcy proceedings in Germany are similar to those in the US. I believe they have the right to petition for a form of bankruptcy protection, which it sounds like they are trying to negotiate. I’m unsure however how they proceed in presenting their filings to bankruptcy courts.
