Does no one in the UK make multi-piece wheels any more - looked at Rimstock, Compomotive etc.?

Secondly, am I correct in thinking that (ignoring any effect on the speedo), increasing the rolling circumference of a wheel / tyre combo will have the effect of reducing the engine rpm for the same road speed compared to a wheel / tyre combo with a smaller rolling circumference? - i.e. the effect is to raise the overall gearing?

Thanks for the suggestions - hadn't seen the Rimstyle site before.

As for Image......had an experience a couple of years ago which I wouldn't want to repeat. Fortunately I got my £1,700 back. Never again.
