Hey guys. Thanks for all the pic's. That's more than I imagined so quickly and I appreciate it.
Well so far, of the non silver ones, I like Purple-rado's which look more a Gunmetal colour than black. I am still unconvinced of the black on my colour car. I am not a real big fan of most OEM wheel patterns either.
What about brands or more specifically, does anyone know about the reports or opinions that the Kinesis and HRE brands are not good? I have found some nice ones of CCWs and Fikses, but I like some patterns of those other brands too. One lister has told me to avoid those 2 brands like the plague. Any others?
TIA

I have a set of K27 Kinesis for my track wheels. The wheels themselves are fantastic. Light and strong. The problem with Kinesis is that they were bought by lexani and there is question as to the quality of the wheels since the take over and the availability of parts for their old wheels. I unfortunately don't have any good side shots of the car, but this pic may give you an idea of how it looks. I have a set of 996 twists, which IMHO look a little better.

Justin, do you need a set of Kinesis center caps? I have a set that are decent condition. I just my set of K27's and will not be needing them.

I really like the black wheels with the Silver Rose...almost makes me want to get my Cup IIs powder coated!

The Black with the Sliver rims does look good. Still not sure about the all Black wheels.
Nobody heard about HRE in the same way that Kinesis has gone downhill?

Olli, how did you get the orange rear signal clear? There has been recent talk of use a heat gun, lol.

Hmm, interesting reading Mike. Not that I doubted you, but this is the type of info that I wanted to read. In saying that, I can't say that it is 100% conclusive, however I wouldn't look at tracking them if I did buy them based on what I've just read. I think if I chose those wheels it would be entirely for the looks factor which I do like some of. It also seems as if no wheel is potentially safe from failure and unfortunately size does seem to matter. For tracking I would only use a few highly respected brands.
