Sdf4786k Twincharged February 23, 2019 Share February 23, 2019 Hi Gurus,is 18" BBS RI-A Forged Rims good.?It is Made in Japan instead of Germany... Bro.. Rims is big business. https://www.autoblog.com/2011/01/05/report-bbs-files-for-bankruptcy-yes-again/ Unfortunately, They kanna chapter 11. I wont be too worried that its made in Japan. Just made sure the usual, TUV and JWL logo is not a replica would be what I worry. "In Germany, BBS has filed for restructuring (Similar to the US Chapter 11) and at the same time they have a LOI with Ronal to buy the BBS plant in Herbolzheim. (Herbolzheim is the production facility for standard OEM high volume production.) The intent of BBS is to re-focus on our core business in Schiltach; Motorsports, OES business (Ferrari, Porsche, etc... and including our US based programs with Ford, Toyota, etc.), High-end aftermarket and Technology development. (Schiltach is the BBS headquarters responsible for all engineering, development, high-end and specialty production, etc.) BBS began life as a "Racing wheel" company (in Schiltach) over 40 years ago, several years later they began producing aftermarket wheels and a few years later they were producing "Specialty" OE wheels (OES). BBS is just returning to its core business." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same pcd ,same off set . should not have different even if different place make. Same bbs europe different model also cannot mix sorry for the misunderstanding. Japanese and German BBS are 2 separate Company and as what i know some of the BBS parts like center Cap , center reducing ring etc may not be the same Specification . is just my sharing. i sharing is to warn when you are looking for some accesories please quote the exact wheel and not just simply thought they are all the same. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
