Don't worry, I just talked to BBS and they said they are going to keep their wheels expensive just for you.

God, I crack myself up.

(just kidding, I used to have RS-GT's on my Audi)

I don't drink,smoke,eat in my car, ever. And I don't hold the hand of my GF of her thigh or anything else unless there is traffic or stoped in a traffic light. When the car moves, I'm meant to drive it both hands... and god I do it with pleasure

Kudos!

Where did you hear that? My understanding is that they just got a contract from a manufacturer to build the engines for a one-make racing series.

BBS is definitely having some money troubles, but I suspect it won't mean the end. Apex'i... Well, don't know and don't really care.
