i cant do 11th nor 21/22/23 of this month...

Any other day is OK with me!

 

My wheels are from Japan. BBS Japan is still a sound company as I heard.

 

so they not the same?
but if "US" 1 is closing why dont japan BBS help them out.

I see than the F1 cars BBS wheels are made in Japan

 

that is sad, the reason is that they have invested in lot of eqpt & people, whilst buyers nowadays prefer cheap product
that look good.BBS wheels have not latched onto the bling or style niche.
look at those companies with a "forged" in their name,eg.i-forged,e-forged, forge...they appear cheap but u pay for what u get.
capt's Breytons look much better than the recent new BBS ranges, so can't blame the buyer!!!
i hope that they survive

 

Received today. Don't Worry be Happy.

 

a wise man once said, the only thing constant in life is change. guess the hard work of those people and investment werent able to gain more sales.

 

I'm ok, I was just having fun

 

The investments in toolings are a plain piece of metal if business ain't good. They should improve their production efficiency while catch up with the trend, like carbonize this and that, evolution could do some wonder. Perhaps the management in BBS is still daydreaming in their glory days in the 70s/80s.

I'd say not many people is willing to pay 10K+ for a single piece of forged wheel since there are so many choices in 6K range. Why pay 40% more? For the BBS wheel cap? The quality in the wheel cannot be seen by the crowd, not even myself ... until my BMW service advisor once show me a picture, it's a BBS forged wheel with a detached tyre (the outer side wall has completely gone), only a few mm of outer side wall remains (the owner could possbily keep driving without knowing the tyre has gone, the tyre is attached to the wheel because the inner side wall is still there...), and you know what? The picture shows a wheel without a scratch on the outer edge of the wheel.
