Phil Schmidt PS Engineering

Intellectual curiosity drives me to the question does anyone know what happened to Mr. Schmidt?  Would be nice to get a set of his now defunct torque thrust rims.  It is unfortunate he is not in business anymore.  Retired I guess?

I was told he is operating as Wheel Smith in Corona, CA

Last I heard Phil retired to his folks old house on 17 mile drive in Monterey.

I too have heard Phil retired. It's my understanding that Vintage Wheel Works bought out his business. Also heard that the molds to highly desirable TA wheels for casting were broken (either accidentally or intentionally is unknown).
Vintage Engineering out of Redwood City in California does an identical wheel to the TA wheel in magnesium. Unfortunately not in an aluminum alloy.

Thanks Roy, I have checked them out.  Friend is considering the minilites.  I inquired as to the best size.
