I like the 5-spoke clean look. This is what the Ruf 18" forged wheels look like on my car.

My only concern with Kinesis wheels is that they are now out of business. What do you guys do for parts or support?

I would like to go to an 11" rim in the rear from the 10.5" I have now. My concern is that Kinesis was sold to a "bling" company.

I've got some Kinesis K18R on my baby and just love these wheels... Parts are still available from my understanding. They were bought by Lexani Wheels... Bling is a modest description...

I too love my Kinesis wheels. I called Kinesis and was told the acquisition by Lexani will enhance their ability to support their customers. Only time will tell but that doesn't change the fact that I think the Kinesis K18R is a perfect choice for any self-respecting 993TT.

I like the 5 spoke look also. I just ordered these in 18". 3 piece, forged, custom offsets for $2700.
