The correct information is that the owner was Peter not Alan. Alan was an employee for a long period time and left before the company was sold. Alan is now working for Wheel Enhancement with John and is still a great source of information and help.

Yes Laura, thank you. Peter Stacy and his daughter ran the day to day operations. To be honest, we didn't find out about the sale until after it was a done deal. I told him how disapointed we were as we would have been interested in buying them also.

I am glad I just sold my K27's recently. I found someone selling a pair (not a set) of 17 kenesis wheels. If someone wants them for parts let me know and I will if they still available.

Bill, that is a really good lookin' wheel!

I may have found a source for hardware.
I thought a retailer might have better access to "the wheel company formerly known as Kinesis" so I contacted a couple of dealers.
One came back with a yes @ $7.50 each. I don't have them yet so who knows what I will get. We will see. I am only looking for spares to have around just in case. The supplier looks like they may primarily deal in Lexani stuff... based on their web site.

I feel like I need a shower every time I go there. www.TheWheelGallery.com

I came back to this thread trying to figure out what the story was with Alan and Wheel Enhancement.

I saw on 6speedonline.com that Alan and Wheel Enhancement is a site sponser.

Wonder why they're not a site sponser here?

Really hope Allan/Wheel Enhancement/John can help us "old" Kinesis Motorsport wheel owners when the need arises.

I hate to hear this. I bought a set of Kinesis wheels for my '96 M3 and their customer service was some of the best I've ever experienced.

Maybe Lexani has shifted their customer service dept to a third world country. We all know how well that works.....
