Like 3 months ago, they filed for bankruptcy. I dont know if it was directly caused by replica wheels or not

thanks for posting that


bbs style is similar to alot of other rim manufacturers----reps and authetics.

like some work wheels-have that same mesh look or similar design----xxr's also just to name a couple----im sure there are much more.

alot of competition i guess

too bad

(edit)heres another brand of rim that has that same look as the BBS-- https://www.clublexus.com/forums/whe...ken-fk452.html ----it is a very common style IMO

probably the reason for the companies downfall

I just bought these. If you want to take a look at how they fit.
Now before I bought I was told by Varrstoen that the +22 offset would fit my car (stock height) without any issues. Im lowered on Megans and i really didnt want a aggressive look.
It turns out that i may have to roll/pull my fender for the +22 offset
Here's a pic of the rear. The front(no pic taken) fits the same.
I really dont know how Im going to pull the look off. I honestly thought it would fit a lot closer to the fender. So im on the fence about these. Im not sure but I will prob sell them in the future.

This car is my DD btw

245s would rub w/ what i'm guessing to be 10+22 in the rears. 235s at most w/ a plain roll/shave.
