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 ..

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.

Yikes!

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

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.
