I was just about to ask Brandon this in the Wheel forum, but looks like he's already posted about this. I'll copy and past this from Supraforms, it was originally posted on is300.net

There have been a lot of rumors.

The facts are………..

SSR did file for protection from their creditors last Thursday. The company is currently closed for business.

There will be a period of company restructuring, we expect to learn the details of these actions within the next two weeks.

We are confident that SSR SSF production will be able to continue in the future.
Please keep in mind that we have lots of product to sell. We are going into the spring season for 2005 with about 50% more inventory in SSR
product than we had for spring 2004. Also customers can be assured that The Tire Rack will honor all product warranty claims.

At least I don't have to worry about my wheel warranty.

It is truly sad to see this. i absolutely love SSR's product. When I was in high school I had a set of SSR GPO on my 93 Prelude! I got so many people complement my car and the wheels.... I think the knock off wheels and other new brands here in US has driven away the business. DONT buy knock off wheels guys!! I can't imagine if Work goes down.....

well said, we have to maintain the class. personally i'd rather stick with the ugly stock wheels than having any kind of knock offs touching my cars. and that doesn't only apply to wheels, but everything
