Yup!
I love 'em! Rock solid construction, excellent customer service, yada, yada, yada .... Hey Dave Schardt, do I get a rebate on my next Forgeline purchase??? In all seriousness, I do believe they are great wheels and competively priced for a 3 piece style.

Tony N,
I really like those Techart wheels. They're the only thing other than RUF wheels that have ever temped me to change from the turbo twists. How much did they run and what is techarts website?
Thanks,
Matt

You can get them from CEC, which is the US Techart distributor. See http://www.cecwheels.com/images/medi...rice_guide.pdf
They also come in different colors, and they are actually made by BBS.

TonyN,

Do you know the weights for each wheel? Also, is BBS stamped on the wheel somewhere? Thanks! The wheels look great btw!

Hey Dave,

Thanks for the compliments . . . much appreciated!

Greg and Princeton,

Yep, you guys are right. These are not what Kinesis has currently listed for K28s. Now, it's been along time and my recollection may be way off, but I remember researching these wheels on the Kinesis site when I was readying to purchase them and seem to remember the K28s were the 18" version of the K27 (i.e. the K28s as they are today are a newer model). As you can see the last digit of the rim model # designates rim size . . . and these are definiately 18" rims. Also, I thought there was some text there that described the K28s as having the same type and size rim centers as the K27s but bolted to the larger rim halves.

Regardless, even if that was the case then, you guys are right and it certainly isn't anymore . . . I guess I need to claim K27/8s?!? I've edited my original post to clarify the lack of clarity.

Regards,

Thanks, Jimmy. Yes, BBS is on the inside of the wheel. Don't know the weight of the wheels. Perhaps CEC could tell you the weights.

TonyN- Very nice. The Techart Formula's were my first choice but I could never find a picture of the them on a 993. I also wasn't sure where to get them or if they would even fit. So I went with the 5 spokes. I'm happy but I got to say I think those formulas on my black 993 would look pretty money. Any more pics??

These Kinesis Supercups are available for 993's, mine are 17" and cost around $3500 with tires.
