Effective immediately there will be a re-structuring at Tomzwheels. I don't mean to bore everyone, but to avoid speculation, ease curiosity, and share with some of the details with friends I have made here on the forum I will share some of the details.

About a year ago I was diagnosed with Prostate cancer. After testing it was found that the cancer was in an advanced stage as traces were found in the lymph nodes meaning the cancer had spread outside of the prostate. Although at this time I am handling the cancer very well the treatments which have many side effects have kicked my butt. I have been on Hormone treatments and am now doing the daily Radiation treatments. As I had made a decision to get my treatment at MD Anderson which I feel is one of the best facilities in the world I am either having to commute or stay in Houston for my radiation treatments.

With my condition affecting my involvement with the company and current market conditions the business suffered. At this time I am shutting down almost all of the wheel and tire part of the business and have spun off the accessories side which will be under the management of someone else. They will continue the accessories such as LLoyds mats, Altec, limited tires and wheels, and they may expand as time goes on. They will also help me liquidate the small amount of inventory I have in the shop.

When I finish treatments in a couple of months and have a little time to recover I will explore what options and possibilities might be available for Tomzwheels. Unfortunately what will happen with the company and my condition is all pure speculation and I cannot make any projections.

As for current business. All orders past, present, and future will be completed. All products sold by us are still covered by the Factory Warranty. Any questions regarding these issues can be sent via PM's or to Lonestarwheelz@aol.com.

This has been a tough time and I have really agonized making this decision. I realize now that with everything going on right now that this is the only decision I can make. In closing let me say that the best part of this business over the years have been the interactions with the people here on the forums with whom I could share my passion of Automobiles especially Corvettes and Camaros and Trans Ams. With no doubt the people here on LS1 were my best group of customers. The support I recieved here and the people I met were nothing short of phenominal.

Thanks
Tom
