Yea hope so. I heard rumours at work a few weeks ago that they were going under but at the time I assumed it was rumours going by there history/heritage & the kind of people they supply. Then seen this on the front page of my local paper today aswell as Spud sending me a faceache link about it lol

Heres hoping some motorsporty type guy with lots of spare cash decides to buy them out :/

There is rumour that they are 'restructuring' and will be making wheels again in January.

A lad on Passionford went there to collect his TH's, and onky one person was at the factory.
The PF lad rang the bloke from the factory a few days later, to enquire about centre caps, only to be told that the doors had closed and everyone was out of a job.

The place still had racks of wheels waiting to be sold.
Maybe the administrators will sell them off at a discounted rate.

Looks like you could be correct, Matt Brown just posted a screenshot from their FB page saying theyre not dead, theyre just restructuring!

Is the wheel being reinvented? :)

He also tells me to not believe what I read on the net. So I am not sure I trust him.

Humm, would it be silly to assume that the production would be moved abroad, or into another mamanufacturers factory, eg team dynamics start making them?
Would it make any old original wheels more desirable, keep there value?
