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. Andy Sacramento, CA

Bud, If you need wheels from the UK try Hellawell, not sure of his address, only he is in the UK. Regards, Ron Benson [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

from undisclosed source ____________________________________ I've been in email contact with ---and in voice contact with ------ today concerning the lack of communication with British Wire Wheel. ----They have confirmed, to the best of their knowledge, that BWW is no longer in 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
