Very interesting to hear what’s been going on with BBS itself, and how it relates to this new partnership.
Waiting for BBS wheels to be forced onto all cars like the Michelin tyre stickers in FIA.
Been a while.

Comment from BBS Japan Representative President - Norimasa Nosaka
“BBS is a company that is rooted in motorsports. It all started with this single desire: to provide wheels that win races. By developing our technology through motorsports, many teams including those in Formula One have achieved success with BBS wheels.
"BBS focuses on a manufacturing process where we compress blocks of aluminum down to less than 1/4 its original size, creating complex designs using dies, with all finishing touches made by hand to perfection. A strong, resilient, and beautiful wheel. This is what a BBS wheel stands for.
"BBS Japan has now partnered with Gran Turismo, a series that goes beyond the boundaries of video games and is beloved by motorsports fans throughout the world. We are very excited to be a part of this partnership, and we hope to reach out to the younger generations through Gran Turismo.“
Wonder if all cars will be fitted with BBS and Michelins, in FIA Nations and Manufacturers.

IIRC Michelin was listed as a "supplier" while BBS Japan one doesn't mention any of that.Waiting for BBS wheels to be forced onto all cars like the Michelin tyre stickers in FIA.
I was actually thinking the same thing when I read the article I linked in my last post about them buying BBS.Would like to know what happened to the PD collaboration with KW.
