I was helping source wheels for a guy in Denmark and thankfully tested them before forwarding them on, and had to return them. They probably had to be scrapped.

He had prototypes made which looked beautiful but had been improperly made, so they didn’t fit either! I helped him redesign them, and although it took an eternity (two years from start to finish), he finally has excellent quality wheels available for purchase as of just a few weeks ago. They are almost as good as the ones that were initially made when the whole idea was first mooted by Wilkinson and Pantera East, and infinitely better than any others that are being sold at the moment.
