BBS Bankruptcy

Just heard on German radio over here that BBS is going into bankruptcy. No real deatils were given on the plan. I hope they make it through....if we lose them, it likely means more crap wheels out there, plus, good wheels will likely become more expensive....

Avenger,

Your post was not redundant. I just wanted to direct people to a thread on the racing board that had a bit more info on the BBS bankruptcy/restructuring.

Ah....didn't realize where the post you linked was. Thought it was buried down in all of the unread threads I have from being offline for a few days.

My moms neighbor in GA is the OPS MGR for BBS in ATL. Coincidentally, she told me that the BBS mgr has been home everyday for the last week. Uh - Oh!

I'll have to speak with the BBS Racing Manager that I deal with in Atlanta -- this is who we buys our racecar wheels from..

Is speedline having issues?

I know they are still producing wheels as of last year. I just bought and sold a new set of 3.6 T speedlines and they had a production date of 11/06. Quality was not as good as the older wheels though.

BBS isn't bankrupt. Just restructuring, that’s all.
They are still producing wheels, just like before.
