I ran across the Compomotive wheels several years ago and was interested
them as an alternative to the ubiquitous Panasports. Since then, I've not
run across a set of their ML competition wheels on any vintage race cars.
If anyone has any experience with these wheels -- especially the ML line --
I'd sure like to hear about it.
