Default BBS going under.

Maybe a repost but I dont care. I pulled this from another forum.

http://www.auto-motor-und-sport.de/n...1854_14055.hbs

Report is in German, but basically BBS was paying out the ass with lots of high aluminum prices and then one of their main supporters bailed out, they had to file for bankruptcy.

If in fact it was true, it's a shame. Because now everyone would lust after BBS wheels for their showy, good for nothing, street duty only cars. BBS makes good wheels and they should be driven on.....hard.

Maybe if they didn't charge so much they'd sell more wheels.

Yeah. That makes absolutely zero sense.

Generally when the price of raw materials spikes it isn't the best idea to lower the price of the finished product.
