The "street legal" division obviously has trouble to survive but the motorsport division (I was talking to) not yet but might be sucked into the trouble also.
I asked whether they can manufacture the old E50 rims and I was told that if I can find some 40 people ("fanatics" like me
) they will be able to start the production of the 16" or 17" magnesium centers again.
I have posted a thread on the Dutch forum aswell and maybe there is some interest from the UK as well. So let's count... Who is interested?(approx €2500 per set)
My responce from BBS when I enquired about a week ago was this...
Hallo Mr Diamond,
thanks for your mail and interest in BBS Racing Wheels.
Usually E50/E48 are available, but we regret, not at the moment.
Price for one set 17" is ca. 2800 EUR;
BBS racing wheels always are single produced to customers order. So we need further informations about the wheel dimensions you need (widths, offsets
and caliper space in axial direction).
Regards
Klaus Morhammer
