I used to live down the rd from their factory when at uni and had a few mates who worked there. Used to get some awesome staff discount too

Hope they manage to sort their issues out and continue trading

Wasn't it the foundry that cast them that shut down, meaning that they had to source elsewhere?

There are now quite a few Chinese wheels on the market which replacate quite a few well known styles. I've got some original allycats which are really strong and a set of Chinese allycats, one of which cracked when I tightened up the nuts!
