Interesting news about BBS
Last month, BBS North America informed us that BBS Japan has just purchased the forged side of BBS as well as the Motorsports division.
We’re still waiting on an update from them to let us know what our program here in NA will be going forward. I think this might mean very good things for the cooler BBS applications that are out there and in the future. A Lot of people don't know that the great majority of BBSs line, including cast and OEMs are mostly made in Germany, and all the ones we typically lust after are BBS Japan (figures). I'm waiting for the next hot application from BBS, I hope its LM like so we can rock it on the FRS! ...Thoughts? |

I really hope that BBS America upscales their programs and establish a dominating presence in motorsports here.

Check your history books.
The Japanese learned quality control from an American named W. Edwards Demming circa 1950. |
