In German I know, so rough translation:

quote:
Update +++ the autosupplier BBS automotive technology AG in scold oh (circle Rottweil), one of the prominent manufacturers of light alloy wheels, placed insolvency request. As reason for the inability to pay the enterprise gave on Tuesday (6,2.) the way breaking of a bank on.



Shame Of all the manufacturers to go bust, you'd think BBS would be last, especially with the motorsport links they have.

Surely BBS must have made quite a bit of money by supplying wheels for F1!?

The standard wheels on my T4 are 16" genuine BBS wheels and at volvo cost £350 + vat per wheel with no tyres

BBS should have lowered the costs really. They charge far too much.
