srsly lol

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.

Trust/greddy filed for bankrupcy a couple years back...they're still in bidnis.

wow this is just gonna prolong the "oh lets just put bbs rs' with spacers and call it good" thing. because now people will be like "oh look at my rare, no longer manufactured wheels...." so ghey...

hahaha ruthless! lets hope the orphanage is empty...

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.

I've got two pairs of them, one being RC's on my GTI for sale, the other on the STI. I'll hang on

LOL! RS's rare? Theyre almost as common as XXR and MB Battles

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.

companies wouldnt be going bankrupt if people weren't cheap and only bought used/fake wheels all the time.

well yeah, they came stock on a lot of cars.

Bankruptcy doesn't mean they will be going out of business
