BWW is no longer in Santa Cruz, CA. They have moved to Fresno, CA where they are primarily doing hydraulics for low riders. As mentioned previously, John Blake (who worked for BWW) is now on his own in Santa Cruz and can be reached at 831-465-0617. He does charge $3 for spoke replacement, however as I recall, SS spokes from Dayton are 4-5 weeks out. He also has a small brochure listing his services and their cost.

From a friend of mine who used to deal with the original owners of BWW: They have been purchased and moved to Fresno, CA (don't have address); however, according to my friend the operation is geared more to wheels for modern cars- you know the type -driven by young men who have loud boom boxes mounted inside their cars. In other words he believes the old BWW is a thing of the past.

Bud,
If you need wheels from the UK try Hellawell, not sure of his address, only
he is in the UK.
Regards,
Ron Benson

business. The T-ABC site has a listing in it resources area for BWW. Perhaps
that listing should be removed.
I probably will be out the money that was debited against my credit card
because of this incident. I had 5 Dunlop B5 tires and 5 Classico tubes on
order with BWW. Not sure if there are others in the group with the same
situation as I have, money paid but no product, but thought you should know.
Not certain the closing is official so I'm sending this to you and not
doing a list alert. Don't want a lawsuit, just my tires and tubes or my money
back!

Hello all;
A friend and I were buying 10 wheels and 5 tires w/tubes & liners from
British Wire Wheel. We did not lose any money but finally gave up and bought
our wheels from Dayton Wheel.
I would think that the least they could do is provide some kind of notice as
to their being closed. It would also be nice to know if this is permanent or
possibly temporary.
Have a great day.

I not too sure who not get tires from BWW, but if a credit card was used, one can dispute the charges and get a refund, it tlakes some time and effort, but you should prevail. Bill Webb TC 3338
