cant believe that, would have thought they had pretty solid foundations, good qaulity aftermarket rims and suplying rims to manufacturers like land rover and jag would have thought they'd have been ok.

Yeah i was a bit shocked but then again you can see it happening as more company's do rep wheels at half the price. It was only a matter of time before it happened. Does this mean there might be some cheap clearance stock being sold  :huh:

Read this earlier on AB25, Apparently they've filed for bankrupcy before and had funding from an external source!
Lets hope this happens again  :smug:

tbh with the way the global econimy has gone its hardly surprising that they have found themselves in trouble modifying/customising cars really isnt going to be the top of the list with most people in current climate and £1k on a set off bbs rims when you can buy cheaper sets now days wont see them shift that many

Let's hope that they get a fresh injection of capital.

They're too good to consign to the history books.

AS Wayne said ... the name means too much in the 'scene' it will have another private investor.

Just hope they lower prices on genuine BBS stuff! ... Replica's are bloody tempting at less than half the price!

the quality of some of their rims is terrible and so is the price but i also agree with wayne
