    Does anyone know what foundry is casting there magnesium wheels? Looks like they are working with a foundry that is doing small quan***ies and would like to speak to them.

    Thanks!

    I know a guy who I painted a radical show bike for, had custom cast wheels done in England. I would be pretty sure he checked around the US first, but you never know.

    Their website's "about" tab implies that they manufacture their own products. Why not call or email them?

    THis pretty much sums it up. From the last sentence of the "about" page: "Vintage Engineering also has the flexibility and experience to ***ist with one-off customer projects."

    I emailed them about a price quote and got an answer the next day. Maybe you were asking info they feel is a trade secret or something. I sure would like a set of their Minilites to replace my corroded set.

    I'd call instead of sending emails.
