Do you think BBS can overcome this hurdle? Also, don't forget to check out our wheels, tires, and suspension over at www.fitmentindustries.com
for a second I thought it was 25% off of all wheels tires and suspension... I was about to YEET on over and buy everything for my car LOL
How about a follow up on the guys that worked at Accuair, or if they plan on trying to bring something back? Or if FITMENT INDUSTRIES are willing to purchase the Accuair brand and bring out the air suspension back?
They went bankrupt because no one wants to pay the ridiculous prices for wheels.
They should be fine.. VW BMW and others they supply aren’t going away. It would be nice if they started another line of simpler more affordable wheels.
Finance Industries
lol
I felt this
I just graduated high school and I don’t know how to pay taxes
@@xKingzenity You shouldn't just commit tax fraud
@@xKingzenity just make sure to ask for a W2 from your job can file through turbotax or something. It’s not hard and it pretty much guides you through the process. If you’re getting financial aid for school then that will count as income and you need to figure out how much you got. Hope this legitimately helps it was kind of a tough looking task for me at first but I figured it out. If I can, so can anyone else.
I love BBS wheels my bank account doesn’t. I know I’m not alone
Got u bruh
Well when you need a small personal bank loan to buy a set of BBS sort of explains things
I don't get it, I mean I can't afford them but 600-1200 isn't bad as far as wheels go
I got me replicas for a decent price😭
I hear you man. It took me 8 years to build my RS’s lol only way I could make it happen the way I wanted & still eat solid food.
He said, “take a shot everytime I say ‘bbs’”, I got 15 and now drunk.
I must be super drunk cause I got 17
Lol 15 shots in 3 min you’re absolutely shitfaced in the next 10 min 🤣
I don't think they filed for bankruptcy.
A lot of manufacturers use their wheels on factory cars and they are very big in racing.

Me after watching the full video and realizing that I shouldn't have commented
well I took a shot every time you said BBS like you said and now I'm drunk at work. thanks.
Not all heroes wear capes.
*unless you do...🤘
I did it and I'm recovering from an alcohol induced coma.
Probably shouldn't have used Everclear 😬
Alex is the main reason I watch fitment industries... please dont get rid of him he pulls me into these videos and helps me learn a lot
Back in 1979 I had custom wheels made for my VW Scirocco, one of a kind. They were expensive back then but worth it. Bankruptcy doesn't mean out of business.Things can be better.
“Red party hat” lol you throw hints every other video
I’m convinced you still play RuneScape.
PK lord
Fitment Industries I’ll fight you Alex
Lmfao Red Party Hat? Was that a reference to RuneScape 😂😂😂
B Sale
Was this really a question you know them red hats were serious!

Balloon drop in 30 mins be there
I actually liked their wheels sure they are pricey but I still love them never the less.
My FC Rx7 came with BBS wheels so I guess that's why I love BBS. I one day want to get 17 or 18s inch wheels for my FC Rx7
Also
So you want a kei truck
Are you talking about the 15inch wheels?
Are fc rx7s a good first time project car? I want to get one soon
@@banemafia4629 idk about first cars, since they were made before obd2 times, its harder to get diagnostics. You would need to know how the car runs properly. But its a pretty simple car
LAK of Brwn A non OBD car is great. Especially for a project. Don’t have to go emissions.
@@lakofbrwn1204 whats obd mean?
E88’s for life.
Didnt expect you here!
Ugh I need a set lol
@RB I didn’t get sponsored for my E88’s I paid cash for them. 🤡
@@SpencerBerke how do you keep them from cracking
@@Ptrmrkks you swap the drums, thats maintenance for E88´s
Every time Alex says BBS, take a shot.
Everytime Alex says OEM, take 2
I’ll just call into work now before I can’t find my face to do it later
BBS LM and RS II are some of my dream wheels :(
Edit: nevermind you can still get a set new
LM's Yes... RSII's No 😐
Day 61 of asking fitmend industries to do so you want a suzuki cappuccino
this
Put a Huyabusa V8 in there and god damn
고등 지능 ODINS trash what?
@@melbournetaylor4265 Hayabusa motorbike-engines are somewhat popular for engine swaps in lightweight cars. Not sure where the V8 part is coming from because... it's an engine from a bike.
Compins exactly ik about bikes but v8 tf
"Taco Johns instead of Taco Ding-Dong"
**Dakota will remember that**
BBS are my favourite wheel company
They better drop that 99% discount 🙈 i need some bbs LeMans
Thanks for explaining it. A lot of people just read headlines and leave it at that. BBS ain't going anywhere.
BBS + German manufacturers = just right.
that red party hat easter egg
I just scored on a set of 17” Style 5’s on OfferUp for $350. Getting them rebuilt next month
BBS is probably one of the most high quality rims out there
I remember the first time I ever saw a BBS wheel was on a Porsche. I googled the wheel and saw the retail price. Jeez laweez they’re pricy
You guys should do a deep dive into Dakota's ever-evolving taco consumption trends, and how it drives vehicle-based catering as an industry to improve and innovate.
They should have never quit making the rc300 series , and rx200 series
These 2 designs fit every vehicle
Iv got opel rx211 &212 and bmw rx208
@@adellisdevelopmen6593
Oh boy i cant even remember all the bbs numbers i have but here i go
5x rc303
4x rg184
4x rg151
4x re686 (these are my jewels)
4x rx203
2x rc301
2x rc300 ( cracked :( sadly )
4x ch011 i think
Then a bunch of bbs oems like alpina softline 18's And style 14 17's
I want bbs RA5xx series and rk's too
Gotta love the Rotiform shirt in a video about BBS 😅
"What happened to bbs" puts an enkei rim
Great video, guy at the tyre shop was telling me BBS had gone bankrupt and wouldnt be making wheels anymore. Thanks for clearing it up.
The only BBS wheels I like are the stock evo 8-9 rims
You should talk about Garrett and their turbos filing for bankruptcy.
Sorry for my negative comment but I am in good heart saying that. Cut the first 2 minutes of BS of this 739 video
TOILET PAPER BECAME WORTH MORE THAN WHAT,, A RED PARTY HAT
god that fucking caught me off guard lmaoo
My liver hates this episode and also, lost count lol
6:37 what the fuck lmao that made me hysterical
Day 8 asking fitment industries to do so you want a geo metro
so you want a trabant
So you want a reliant robin supervan
YO ANOTHER RUNESCAPE REFERENCE YES BOIS!!!!!!
BBS are my standard go to wheel hands down.
In Denmark set off BBS rims costs around 5-6.000$ or 35-40.000dkk this is almost 2 and a half salaries.
What makes them almost impossible to buy. Except for those die hard fans (all 5 of them)
finally someone came up with correct video on bbs bankruptcy
Great piece on BBS.. I’d like to see a piece on other wheel companies.. For example, what happened to Maya wheels Lowenhart Racing hart.. and why haven’t those epic names been resurrected!!
Would be nice for BBS to expand offerings in into BBS BigBrakeKits/Seats/Harnesses/Steering Wheels/Shiftknobs etc. I know, easier said than done, considering investment in facilities, staff, R&D, but I like to keep everything brand specific across as many aspects when and where possible.
The claps in the into😂😂😂
Can you do a video explaining why car parts are so expensive? Thanks love your vids!!
Nickle and diming
Margins. the end.
Can you guys do a video on how to hang wheels on the wall like in the background? Or on extra wheel storage?
that runescape reference had me dead
Great explanation of what is going on with the brand
There are NO Ford MONDEO in your fitment industries page...
Huh and I wanted some for my Volvo wagon lol
I have collected RM, RS, RX, and CH wheels over the years. Still have all those wheels.
I have bbs on my Porsche and also have two spare wheels salvaged from a gtr but always thought bbs wheels were way over priced and over rated..enkie, advan and other wheels in the same range is much cheaper and frankly better quality..
I appreciate the party hat joke
The red party hat reference. True legend.
Toilet paper became worth more than a red party hat 🤣
BBS: *Looks at finances
BBS: "Oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck"
BBS: *files bankruptcy
BBS: 😅
BBS need to load rate their wheels for bigger motors. I'd love a set of 20's for my T6.1 Van, but without a suitable rating, I just can't...
Hi, quick question, I still don't get the ET measurement that good.
I want to get new wheels for my Ep3 civic. In order to bring them outwards, does the ET number have to be smaller or bigger?
Also, what ET, size and tyre profile ratio would look good? I was thinking of 16 inch with a profile ratio of 35 or 40 from a 195 width tyre.
Thank you for your time, have a good day!
BBS!!!! PLEASE STAY !!! ALIVE!!!! I LOVE YOU BBS!!!!
The RS, LM, RS GT and CH my all time favorites!
885; is that what happened? As nice as BBS LMs are ( I know they make other wheels), they just don't look right on my WRX. They are great on a GTI, 3-series, Miata, but for some reason don't suit the character of the WRX. Maybe I just need gold/bronze LMs, but that might look like I'm trying too hard.
This inspired me to buy a set dawg thanks
Bbs is number one of coolest wheels!
“Toilet paper was worth more than a red party hat” quote of the year
I think Enkei and Rays is taking over super lightweight wheels for a good price.
If you want someone to collab with who does know insolvencies, talk to Company Man
Been trying to get BBS CH-R's in a 4x100 15x8.... BBS refused to make em... :/
17 shots I counted since you said it ... Alex you’re trying to kill us
Hi, I’m looking for my first car, any recommendations for a sporty front wheel drive car?
a VW Golf GTI Mk4 could be a pretty good pick, they're small, quick, and mostly reliable
Hyundai Veloster
Civic, mazdaspeed 3, eclipse
acura TL 04-08
The day and age of buying very expensive stuff for cars maybe is going away, people be broke, people be on a budget, its a no wonder people buy knock offs
I'll never buy knock offs. I'll just buy a cheaper brand.
@@interceptingfist5682 same, but I can understand the folk who do go for the knock offs
So was I the only one that got the RuneScape reference? Toilet paper worth more than a red party hat?
Some BBS are looking very good on a 3 series bmw
I love my BBS Wheels on my M3.
1.5 minutes in and I haven't heard a thing about BBS,...I'm otta here...
He gets to it at around 3 mins lol. What a crappy presentation.
You have the attention span of a toddler
@@C4_stephen what ahh we talkin' 'bout hea'?
@@KM-mt5gx toddlers
@@C4_stephen those are just big babies lmaoooo.
Thank God I got bbs rims with my blobeye sti.
"Worth more than a red party hat" I KNEW Alex played Runescape!
subbed for the runescape reference
That’s a lot of shots
"It's not going away"........sure, let's see if some of these ring a bell......Kodak, Polaroid, PanAm, Saab, Oldsmobile.....Nothing is forever. Now, where can I get a set of wheels?
nice runescape reference
BBS ON A 335I 🥶
I'm still in the hospital recovering from severe liver damage for taking a shot everytime he said BBS
maybe if their cheapest set of wheels weren't 3k they'd get more buyers and therefore make more money
We have sets as low as $900.00 😁 👍
Kenneth Kitching where?
Where?
@@chavezsergio4496 FitmentIndustries.com or BBS-USA.com
Kenneth Kitching cheapest set I see are $1200 and they ugly. Upwards of 10k for most but to each their own.
BBS RS will be forever the best
If you had really taken a shot every time he said bbs, you’d be drunk 🥴 😵 af ! lol
Realistically how long would wheels arrive and lug nuts if I were to order a set of them
Typically in stock items ship out in 10-15 business days if you get them as a wheel and tire package as they would have to be mounted and balanced!
Hey Alex nice Rotiform shirt that I bought , with a mk7 on RSEs that I both also happen to have.
Good taste fam 🤙🏼
I wish I had some bbs wheels
History Of Alex's Forehead
Why do you think companies like aodhan and esr are doing well? Lol affordability...yes its nice to have some “authentic” wheels but with offbrand wheels becoming as sturdy as “authentic” wheels and they have similar style why not? Shoot, my mercedes is on aodhans and i love them. Would i like some dope 3 piece real wheels? Yes. Does my wallet? No. So my broke a** will do as my wallet says lol.
love this!
Just wish the BBS wheels I like were available in more sizes. Minimum 19" are useless on a modded daily.
Took a shot every time you said BBS and now I've taken every kind of flu shot
I love how I’m not hesitant to spend 650 on borlas but yet I cringe when I try to buy myself wheels for my car 😭 still on stock wheels 😂
Wheels first always 😅 how you gonna be loud with no style
Fitment Industries 😭 damn you got me there
If i could afford BBS wheels on my car i would totally do it,
But im not even old enough to go to the dealer myself yet.
Dude!
I want that wheel in the thumb, 17x8-5.125 backspacing with a 5x4.75 lug pattern.
The guys at donut media will be flattered you guys are trying copy their style 😁
Bingo.
Alex made me take 12 shots before breakfast 🥴🥳
Mix in a water😂
Way ahead of ya
I'd like to see an episode on Minilite, Watanabe, etc... that 8 spoke hotness...
Day 8 of asking of a "So you want a Crv"
So how much have you invested in BBS
Been looking into Avant Garde wheels for my 2017 Gti recently and if I’m being honest, I’m way too lazy to do the research myself lol. So help a brotha out and do a history of avant garde video!!
