Default Kinesis Wheels

Looking for a new set of wheels for when the weather changes here. I was looking at HRE 545R's and then happened upon the Kinesis K58R or K59R . the web site is fairly impressive as far as the construction of the wheel and the little bit i have heard about the company is good. they seem to stand behind their product. Was wondering if anyone had any exp. with them. I sure hope spring comes quickly before I spend too much money dreaming about driving.
thanks in advance for the help.

I've used them for years. My favorite wheel and I still sell them all the time in the bay area to folks. Most popular are still the K18Rs or K19Rs although their F110s are also ones that people like...

Those aren't the reverse lip. Those are the stepped lip (standard) and the same finish I have (the standard annodized gun-metal) on mine. The reverse drop centers look like so:

There are lots of really great wheel companies out there, but I would rank Kinesis at the very top. Here are K28s (not R) in a custom muted gold painted finish.

Check out the K18s on my Turbo --great wheels. Fine people who stand behind their product. Highly recommended.
