BBS IS raising the roof ... well, not really but they are significantly raising their pricing.

While, I do not have 100% of the new pricing information at this time there will be a significant change in ALL BBS product pricing. The price changes will be effective as of 3-3-08.

I know, I have spoken to many members about BBS wheels recently so, I wanted to give everybody as much advance notice as possible regarding this new BBS pricing.

If you have any questions regarding BBS product availability and/or pricing please contact me directly or post those questions in this thread.

I will be monitoring this situation along with this thread closely today and tomorrow.

This is just another change in business strategy from the new owners of BBS much like the previously posted change to wholesale pricing.

here's the previous post regarding the first part of the new pricing policy from BBS corp.

.................................................

"BBS has made some changes to its business model for worldwide markets.

Effective Jan 1st 2008 there are no longer any authorized BBS product sales into the wholesale market place. This is a change that is being made worldwide by the new owners of BBS, Punch intl. There is no longer a wholesale pricing program available for mass distributors like The Tire Rack"

increase in price due to the lack of wholesale pricing

 

I think BBS is doing the right thing. All authorized dealers are now on a level playing field.

 

ther lack of a wholesale pricing program and this new price increase are two different issues ...

 

more than an internet server in their parents basement with no inventory, overhead or expenses of any kind. That type of dealer, typically, drives down profit margins for places like yours, as well as, distributors like The Tire Rack. The BBS position seems to maximize their profit with little regard for anything else. Venture capitalism to the core. I sincerly hope the BBS brand survives this new approach to the marketplace. Many companies have tried a similar angle in the automotive industry only to fail and go away forever. I, for one, would hate to see that happen.

 

wonder how bad this will affect the MSRP.

 

his basement.

 

there is wholesale pricing, but not extra special pricing for "super" dealers like The Tirerack.

 

If I want to spend the big bux, I'd go Fiske anyway long before investing in BBS

 

I'm sure the weak dollar is playing a big part too.
