text: In 2012, BBS Motorsport & Engineering GmbH, the racing division of BBS, became independent under the Japanese Ono Group (Washi Kosan) and moved to Haslach from Schiltach. Production of all BBS forged racing wheels continues in Japan. Japanese company Washibeam Co., Ltd. manufactures the BBS F1 Magnesium wheel and all racing aluminum wheels. Since BBS is a customer of Washibeam, manufacture of the wheel will not be discontinued if BBS goes bankrupt.
  The company is the largest supplier of wheels for IndyCar Series and the main supplier of Formula One teams. BBS has also supplied wheels for the NASCAR Cup Series starting in 2022, when the Next Gen car made its debut.
  OEM applications
  BBS has and continues to supply OEM wheel applications to a number of automobile brands. In road vehicles, their products can be seen on brands such as BMW, Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Ferrari, Maserati, Bentley, Rolls-Royce, Jaguar, Lexus, Infiniti, Toyota, Mitsubishi, Mazda, Renault, Saab, Subaru, Volkswagen, and Volvo.
  The highest performance specification of multiple supercars and hypercars, such as the Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale, Lexus LFA Nürburgring Edition, Porsche 918 Spyder Weissach Package, and Ford GT Heritage Edition all feature specially-made wheels by BBS.
  The RS cross-spoke design, which superficially resembles a wire wheel, was common on many European sports cars produced from the 1980s to the early 1990s. This design was noticeably lighter in weight compared to many other styles of the time.
  Aftermarket
  With the popularization of BBS wheels in the 1970's by motorsports teams and luxury automobile manufacturers such as BMW and Porsche, the demand for BBS wheels in the aftermarket began to grow.
