Yes and Yes. But they didn't buy them.

Just to clarify, the news only applies to BBS AG (Germany).

BBS NA (US) is a completely separate company and should not be affected.

BBS Japan is also another separate company producing BBS wheels under liscense.

BBS is not going away.

"I just spoke with the National Sales Manager for the US as he's a friend of mine and we're discussing splitting a race car.

BBS US is fine and financially in great shape. This wasn't the case when he came on board a few years ago.
BBS AG has in fact filed for bankruptcy protection or the German equivalent. His explanation was that BBS AG recently opened two new factories and put in place quite a bit of new technology capabilities and may have over extended themselves. Lastly, it was his opinion that BBS AG is still family owned and this bankruptcy process may in fact be quite good for the longevity of BBS AG.
So, no need to stockpile or worry as I believe the company is here to stay.
