Those are definitely NOT Kinesis rims. They look like the Speedline Alesios (sp?).

Viken..Thanks for your response. Would you happen to know if you can custom the wheels so the rears would have a bigger 'lip'?

...just checked Tire Rack. They dont seem to have the SUPERCUPS.

Not with Speedline. You can't custom order sizes.

Speedline never had "Supercups." That's the name only used by Kinesis for their copy of the RS wheel. Speedline's wheel pictured above is called the "Alesio" and is no longer available.

Addison...I saw your car listed on Ebay? Any luck? Why don't you sell your HRE's separately? How much did you get them for?
