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. ![[Image: sig.jpg]](http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k220/c_j_m/sig.jpg)

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.

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

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!

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 might have some with good tyres
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.

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

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.

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