I know they've been taken over by some bling company(avanti?).. I called the Kinesis direct co. no and after a web of automated answering service, the human that finaly answered sounded like he just woke up.

I said to him... "I'm trying to get price quote on Kinesis wheels please"..

without asking which model.. he quickly answered "$900 each!"

I then said (giving him a chance to be a little bit more professional).. "I'm looking at the K-18Rs".

He said right away.."they're all the same!".

So I asked.. "How much do the K-18R weigh?"

he answered without hesitation.. "we don't have weights but they are light!"

so I said thank you for your help and hanged up.

I remember them asking everything about your car and set up and looking up specs so they could give you the accurate info. This is sad... once a good company. I'm hoping I just got the disgruntled employee ..

Mike,

Kinesis made a deal with the devil, and the devil, well, he's got his mind on his money and his money on his mind.

Call www.forgeline.com I spoke to the owner a few days ago and they have a few new styles coming out shortly. As good of wheels as the "old" Kinesis and much better service.

I just bought a set of rims for my bmw from forgeline and they were superb to deal with. Came packed perfectly too.

Hmmm...does that make the old Kinesis more or less valuable?

Yikes!

The boys at Fikse will take good care as well..at least they used to...

Bruce,

I think it means that if you have old Kinesis rims, you'd better take great care of them.

GratefulJED,

Are you saying that Fiske will service Kinesis wheels?

I hope! Fiske is about 6 miles from me!

Kenisis was based in Carlsbad Cali. They made a high quality 3 peice wheel at a fair price. The problem was increased material and assembly cost put them in a price bracket with Fiske and HRE and they didn't have the name recognition outside Porsche owners to continue as and independent producer. So they sold out.
