Hi Gurus,is 18" BBS RI-A Forged Rims good.?It is Made in Japan instead of Germany...  

 

Bro.. Rims is big business.

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."

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.
