according to the second article, they are just restructuring and going to focus more on race and aftermarket wheels. doesn't sound like they are going anywhere to me.

RE: BBS Bankrupt!! BYE BYE BBS!
Like was said before, they aren't going out of business. Bankruptcy is simply an umbrella so they can consolidate. Makes perfect sence when you take into account the massive investments they made to supply almost all of the worlds auto manufacturers with OEM wheels and the subsequent tanking of those manufacturers. Sound to me that they are returning to what they were and always should have been, a motorsport wheel manufacturer.

Oh, and none of this is gonna make RS'es any more rare than they are. BBS hasn't made a new set of true RS'es in 16 years.

That is true, but people, including some in this thread, think that BBS going Chapter 13 is going to make them rare. Or at least more rare than they are, which is not really.
