I have to wonder if a reason for their struggling business is the loss of OEM markets. BBS wheels used to be a "thing", but OEM sales is by far the biggest money-maker for auto companies and if you start to lose the OEM sales, things tend to get hard real fast. I'd imagine auto manufacturers went to other cheaper sources for wheels and BBS wasn't able to survive on the "trickle" of aftermarket sales. I know of more than one company that have blamed their failure on COVID, but in reality they were just walking dead-men and already done for.
