Thats me buying new outer dimma split rims out the window
RE: Compomotive gone! - Niall - 19-09-2013
Get in quick and you might be able to :p
RE: Compomotive gone! - Chris - 19-09-2013
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.
RE: Compomotive gone! - ozonehostile - 19-09-2013
Ahhhh nooooo :-(
All of my favourite wheels are compomotive :-(
RE: Compomotive gone! - Pete - 19-09-2013
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.
RE: Compomotive gone! - Piggy - 19-09-2013
noooooooo!!!
on the plus side...maybe they got lots of stock which will sell for cheap!
RE: Compomotive gone! - tigerstyle - 19-09-2013
Wow, such a small company, such a shame!
RE: Compomotive gone! - Just Sean - 19-09-2013
Shame man! Always loved compomotive wheels!
RE: Compomotive gone! - Eeyore - 19-09-2013
Maybe somebody will buy it and keep it going!
RE: Compomotive gone! - devils_fuel - 19-09-2013
How much money is in the OC PayPal account
Tis a shame really as so much nice car jewellery has come from them

Try spening 13k+ on your own custom wheels for your production off road competition cars then being told you won't see a penny back
RE: Compomotive gone! - Stephen - 19-09-2013
Didnt realise they were so near me, and such a small company, like 24 people? thats mental

Bit of a fucker since we were supposed to be using those too.
Good job the Shogun ones are better anyway
Someone will buy the moulds or take the whole thing shortly it sounds like anyway.

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!
RE: Compomotive gone! - zx_volcane - 20-09-2013
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 :/
RE: Compomotive gone! - THE_Liam - 20-09-2013
I wonder if they'll be selling off loads of cheap MOs...
*runs to phone*
RE: Compomotive gone! - Just Sean - 20-09-2013

RE: Compomotive gone! - Slam Wagon - 20-09-2013

RE: Compomotive gone! - Poodle - 20-09-2013
Sad to see another independent business collapse, especially one that made such pornongraphic products.
Oops just seen the link to fb, lol at standard internet news fail.

RE: Compomotive gone! - Dum-Dum - 22-09-2013
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!
RE: Compomotive gone! - Curt - 22-09-2013
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.
RE: Compomotive gone! - Rippthrough - 22-09-2013
Comp always sold more wheels to the racers and manufacturers than anything else anyway
