I need to look into the ownership of BBS but I thought they supplied F1 with their wheels to.

Yeah that's a difference company

BBS Germany gets all it's revenue from OEM suppply to manufacturers. Given the huge drop in volumes in recent years and the push of the german makers for margin over volume (VAG especially use BBS a fair amount to make oem wheels), a drop in volume with no doubt fixed price per unit will soon push them over the edge.
The high margin stock (LM, RS, CHR etc) are all manufactured by BBS Japan, worldwide retail sales rights and BBS USA are owned by KW automotive so no retail profit either.
BBS Germany have been on a knife edge for over a decade now and no signs of improving.
