Apparently high aluminum prices and the loss of a major customer caused them to file for bankruptcy. A few other companies agreed to help bail them out but the banks wouldn't cooperate. Sucks for Subaru I guess.

Walker was talking about this at lunch. Supposedly the next models from Subaru are going back to steel instead of aluminum. Sucks.

Yup, thats what I heard to. Fuji Heavy wants to live up to its name I guess.

my question is why would subaru go back to steel rims when they could use prodrive rims from someone they have a partnership with already?

Subaru is not going to steel rims, they are using less aluminum in their cars and more steel.
