Revolution and shmidt rim parts are the same IIRC. Compomotive never had any stock of them anyway.
But yea this sucks as I was planning on buying some wheels from them in the not too distant future.

Real shame. The MO 5 spoke is still my favorite wheel, Hell half the reason I bought my old Sigma was because it was wearing some.

compomotive were the practically the only company that did new after market wheels for my car! well that's my idea gone now for what I had in the future!

Sad, but a sign of the times I suppose, MO5 are up there in my favourite alloys of all time.

Only down the road too :/

I wonder if they'll be selling off loads of cheap MOs...

LOL at the news fail.

I never really liked their wheels anyway so I wasn't bothered. I guess its a sign of the times with less teenagers owning cars and so less modifying them

quite stereotypical dont you think assuming that its just teenagers that modify cars? Just look at .net and this forum. Or even better, look at the 6 forum! thats mostly middle aged men and women!

I think due to the fact that not many of us can realistically afford Comps, that not many teenagers would be putting them on their cars... Far too nice for most teenager's tastes anyway.

Yes but people our age have always modified cars and still do and still spend the money but when I was 17/18 everyone learned to drive but these days no where near as many do.

Comp always sold more wheels to the racers and manufacturers than anything else anyway
