I would be interested in DFAST's response to this too.

I cannot tell if his are another model of Speedlines, but they have a different spoke design than mine. Speedlines have a stylized SL embossed on each of the bolts that hold the wheels together, I can't see his as the pic is taken too far away.

Ehall is right. I have Kenesis wheels. I originally liked the Speedlines but they were a lot heaier than the Kenesis and when I went with Kenesis, they went through the whole process of how the wheels were made and it just sold me. Plus if you look at the angle pic of the actualy spokes, they are thicker and the angles really show well when the sun bounces off of them. The speedlines were only to be had in Chrome. Chrome doesn't expand or contract with weather temps so I opted for the polished Kenesis. The model is called SuperCup.
I called them six months ago as I found out my rear wheels will fit no problem on the front and I was going to get a slightly wider wheel for the rears. Kenesis has been sold to Asanti. They have done away with the manufacturing process in favor of a cheaper more economical one. That came from an employee I spoke with who stayed through the sale from Kenesis to Asanti and wasn't happy about the change. The old manufacturing ways made the wheels extremely strong and held up great at the track. Now he's not so sure. He then told me Asanti is buying up everyone and the only people not interested in talking with them so far is HRE. He said they build a great wheel like Kenesis used to, and HRE is not selling. I know MPD47 (Mike) hates them for some reason but they are great wheels. Finally, they are no longer making Supercups. They are worth more now than what I paid for them. Sad, I think they are some of the best wheels for our cars.

These are the Speedlines I have: Alesio's. The spokes aren't as flat as SeaCay's or the Speedline for Porsche wheels. They're more like the Supercups:
