Some Facts about BBS (from BBS)
First, BBS AG is going through a restructuring process, they are not going out of business. Has anyone flown Delta Air lines recently??… they have been in Chapter 11 restructuring for almost 1 ½ years and they are recovering quite well.
BBS is still producing wheels in Germany and we plan to keep doing so.
There is a partner company to BBS in Japan called "Washi Beam", they produce forged wheels for Subaru, Mitsubishi, Aston Martin, Bentley, Lexus, Mazda and a few others. The forged magnesium wheels used on the Porsche Carrera GT's begin life in Japan and the forgings are sent to BBS in Germany to be finished. They also produce the forgings used to produce F1, Indy, ALMS and racing wheels for many other race programs around the world. Washi Beam is 100% independent of BBS Germany and Washi Beam is not involved in ANY bank or financial related issues. BBS Germany and Washi Beam started working together back in 1983... Remember the orginal 3 piece RS wheel? Washi Beam produced all of the die-forged wheel centers for these wheels. The BBS RSGT, RGR, LM and RE wheels are all produced by Washi Beam in Japan.
BBS Germany will continue with the restructuring process, Washi Beam will continue to make the highest level die-forged wheels in the world and BBS of America will be here to service customers in North America.
