I LOVE BBS WHEELS: The Official BBS Thread
-
Good looking wheels Ernie....
Still waiting for you to top your last rolling shot sig, with the new wheels and offset.....sigh.....
-
Nice collection! Love BBS wheels too!
Have them on the Miata and 5.7 Tundra. Hopefully one day I could afford a set for the Bimmer.

Nice. A dedicated BBS thread.

I must be in the minority of people who like only 5-spoke star-shaped wheels... :) Even the 135s are way too "busy" for me...my dream is to put some 135i Sport package wheels on my ZHP someday...These:

Fixed.
Thanks, Lance.
-
I love it, but evidently not enough to learn the differences between the 90, 92, 93 whatevers... :biggrin
-
Haha. Easy enough. E90 is a sedan. E91 is the touring. E92 is the coupe. And E93 is the vert.

Next time you're down in San Diego, we'll have to take a spin in it.
I'll be closer to your neighborhood this weekend. I will be at C&C in Irvine on Saturday (provided it does not rain).
And now that I can upload videos from Droid to youtube, I am going to do a video run in it.

Im in San Diego :hi

-
Yeah. I am going. See ya there?
-
Yeah, I cant stay long but I'll come grab a burrito.
oooh, can I get a sticker?
-
Cool. See ya there.
To get us back on topic, you can check out my BBS wheels. Likewise, mwscircle will be there too. He has BBS LMs as well. And I am texting Khoa right now. He has 20" BBS LMs on his M3. He might be there. If he brings the 330, he has BBS wheels on that one, too.
So, it's a BBS meet, baby! Be there around 6:45.
EDIT: Khoa just confirmed. He'll be there too. Should be a good turnout.

Hehe - I was actually reminiscing back to the days of the BBS's (bulletin board service using dial up) - before the internet - when we had BBS meets and swap meets...those were the days.
Have fun guys! Hope you took pictures. I'd come out in my e30 rocking some basketweaves but you are on the other coast.
-
Mwscircle runs bbs basket weaves on his E30. He brought his 335. Otherwise I would snap some pics.

What is that Saddleback place in the background?

It's a company that sells patio equipment.

Link worked for me, DW. Try it again.

If the company is liquidated, and BBS ceases to exist, BBS wheels will fetch a premium on the market. They will be tougher to find going forward.
If you have them now, don't let them go.
But this article is better. They get texture from the company, which says that it is merely restructuring, not liquidating:
BBS Wheels Files For Bankruptcy… Again
I hope BBS can find a way to stay in business long term. They make beautiful wheels that are well made.

Friend of mine that uses their wheels on a race car contacted them and got this reply.
This is BBS' official word, sent by the head of their US operations in GA 1/4/10:
To our valued customers,
BBS has been the recognized leader in the premium wheel category for 40 plus years. As BBS of America, Inc. brings to a close the 2010 year in a much healthier manner; we are very bullish on the 2011 year with a much stronger program in all phases of the North American business.
However, some difficulties have beset our parent company, BBS International GmbH. While not posing any immediate difficulties to our North American operations, we want you to be aware of this information.
BBS International GmbH has filed for Insolvency Protection in what amounts to be a Management Reorganization (similar to our Chapter 11 protection) during a difficult period while in negotiation to sell the one high volume plant in Herbolzheim, Germany. While the sale of this plant (high volume production plant for the OE market) is pending to the Ronal organization, it put undue pressure on credit within BBS International GmbH. This filing will enable BBS International GmbH to continue to do business as usual while the Management is restructured and the sale of the Herbolzheim plant is completed. The sale of the Herbolzheim plant will allow for further investment and streamlining to be made at the Schiltach operation (BBS International GmbH headquarters). The investment in the Schiltach operation will enable BBS to re-focus on its core business of high end Aftermarket, Motorsport and Premium Original Equipment product for the worlds leading automotive manufacturers.
BBS of America, Inc. is in business and is fully operational. The plants in Germany are also fully operational and product is due to be released after this holiday period in the normal manner. The new German product that we have arriving for the spring selling season is still on plan. Our forged wheel business with our partner BBS Japan is also unaffected as we have some new offerings on the forged side of the business also arriving in the spring.
We will do all that is possible to support our customers during this time. We fully expect to continue with our aggressive business plan in 2011.
Hopefully this clears things up. BBS isn't going anywhere anytime soon
-
Yep. A nice restructuring, which is likely needed. Union contracts will have to be redone. Current contracts will have to restructured. This is the second restructuring in four years. Hopefully, they can get their cost structure figured out.
Love the company. Love the product.
-
Hopefully they can learn something during their second restructuring.
