“The BBS brand has been co-owned for over 10 years,” Donnelly explained. “The German factory that just went into insolvency is the factory that produces all of the cast products.” Here’s where the important distinction lies: “BBS Japan owns the Motorsport department and produces all of the forged wheels for OE and the aftermarket,” he continued. “They also provide the Motorsport department with all of the aluminum forging and magnesium forgings that they need for everything that they make.”

According to Donnelly, there are no financial connections between BBS Japan (including BBS Motorsport GmbH) and BBS Autotechnik GmbH.
