Unhappy Official announcement: Please read

To all CL members, and to whom it may concern:

Effective 4/30/03, Wheel Experts will be ending its sponsorship contract with Club Lexus. We felt this market had a lot of potential when we first signed on as a sponsor. We made a lot of friends, contributed to the community, learned a lot from the members, and had some overall good times. Unfortunately, dismal sales and an increase in the advertising costs have forced us to pull the plug on our sponsorship.

I just wanted to take a minute to thank all of you who have been supportive of us during our time here. I hope one day the market improves to where we can make a return to the forum successfully. It pains me to pull the plug, but unfortunately, we can no longer afford the sponsorship rates with such a low turnover ratio.

I would also lke to thank CL administrator Ethan Kay for giving us this opportunity to try out CL and for his honesty and support.

If any of you members or visitors have outstanding quotes, they will still be valid. If anyone needs to reach us, you know how to find me. I will try to stop by and visit from time to time, when my busy schedule allows.

Best regards and a fond farewell,

Peter Lee
President, Wheel Experts Automotive Group LLC

of course you guys can still recommend me, but you may want to support the new wheel sponsor (whoever that may be), who knows, maybe he will do a better job!
