what a joke - I just hope they sell the rights to the design so SOMEONE can produce those wheels again.

I had a set of the original Kinesis SuperCups on my car until one of the rears developed cracks on 2 of the spokes. I ended up putting the original D90s back on--really miss the way the SuperCups look.

Kinesis had no replacement parts available.

You're such a WT (wheel tease)! My lugnuts are going to turn "blue" soon...

Hey Chuck, sorry to hear about your blue lugnuts.... they appear to match your car, however!

Nice pup in your avatar- it looks very blonde like my female golden, Bear. I have a medium red color one, too.

Also there is NO sign of Supercups on their website ... glad I purchased my Volk Racing TE's ...

unfortunately today, all revolves around bling & $¢$¢$¢$.... i'm really sad to hear this about kinesis. and about the fate of this wheel... you know it will become a 24" for the h's & calades....... i'll look for them on jigga's new rover when i'm back in nyc

It will be interesting to see how "public" the acquisition becomes. Lexani may work very hard at keeping the Kinesis Brand and approach...and thus keep them at arms length....

...still it is going to be hard to ignore the fact that the parent company makes those fugly wheels they do...IMHO.

Maybe we'll start to see "spinners" at the track...

Cooper had just come back from the groomer in that picture, he usually looks much darker thanks to all the dirt he like to play in

Bummer to hear that the SC IIs will not be produced any time soon...I was looking forward to being tempted by a new set of rims

A member from another forum spoke with Lexani and here's what Lexani said:
