Default Kinesis F110's on my 997...

I was at Kinesis Motorsport last Fri. for a photo shoot with my 997 and the F110's.

These wheels are gorgeous and save you "unofficially" about 30 lbs unsprung weight at the corners.

Peter and Allen over there are great guys and they seeem to run a great operation with a great product.

Enjoy the pics!

Absolutely gorgeous. I'm planning on the same wheels except in gunmetal.

They are approx 10 lbs lighter in the rear and 5 lbs lighter in front, per corner!

Great wheels and just real nice people too!

Sensational looking wheels! Not being a fan of the "lobster claw" rims on the S, I've ordered my car with the Sport Design wheels. But your F110s are just beautiful. Thanks for sharing the pics.

RSS997 - nice wheels. I really like those. Did you get new tires also or re-use the original ones?

As for pricing per set you will have to call Allen at Kinesis. The rears for the 997 are still on the boat and not avail for a couple of weeks.

They had new PS2's on those for the photo shoot. I just put a new set of PS2's on my classics after 4500 miles and five autocrosses they were gone!

These look even more inspiring in person. All I could do wwas stare at it and say wow!

Those are really nice looking. Similar to the Champions. So my interpretation is you let them do a photo shoot with your car - but did they give you a set of wheels for the trouble??

No free wheels for my trouble, just a nice little discount if I want a set!

When they put your wheels back on did they torque them correctly?
Bet Discount tire did not.......
