I actually have 11mm spacers on the rear. Your car does not need to be lowered as it still will look good with a "wider" stance. My tire size is OEM - I used the original tires that came on the car.

I just tried to order the F110's and heard from the dealer that Kinesis was bought by Asanti so they might be discontinued. Should I even bother trying to get these wheels? Asanti way to "bling" of a wheel company and I'm not sure if I should drop the cash if they end up getting discontinued or bling'd out with spinners.

i actually heard the prices of the 110s are more pricey post acquisition??? Kenesis makes an awesome light wheel, I hope the quality remains in tact!!??

I read somewhere that the F110 is built for Kinesis (or Asanti [shudder] or whomever) by Champion. It does bear a family resemblance.
Kinesis likely owns the rights to the wheel design, but if you're looking for something similarly styled with identical quality and materials, a Champion wheel would be the way to go.

Okay... F110s should be arriving today/tomorrow (gonna keep the origional pirelli rosso's)... I asked for 11mm/5mm spacers for the rear/front per Synergies setup (georgous pics) but the technician said the F110s are already "spaced" much wider than my OEM 19" sport classic wheels... He suggested for me to wait to see how they look before I decide on spacers... His concern would be tires rubbing (The car is for weekend driving here in NYC/NJ area and roads are not great)
Any insights/opinions on the spacer question?

Nice buy! I have my eye on the Fikse Profil 10's but can't find an online store that might sell them. Mind you, my 'search' consisted of E-bay, Tirerack and a couple other places.
I don't know what the spacing or offset is on your new F110's, but I can tell you on my Carrera Sport rims (XRR) I have 23mm spacers and that looks pretty close to the limit.

Can you help me with your offset?
I'm a bit confused..........I think 1st you said you had 11mm spacers in the rear......then 7mm........then 11MM.
If you are are using 11s, what is the offset of those F110s by themselves before spacers (so we have total offset).
They do look great & congrats...........though I have a hard time understanding why anyone would order custom wheels made with the wrong (less than ideal)offset........(then need to use spacers and longer lugs to bring the offset back down)......apologies if I'm missing something here.
Still would like to know total offset that places 11Js at that point in the wheel arch......TIA.

these are the offsets from the kinesis website.
996 C4S, 996 Turbo, 997 C4S and 997 Turbo
Front: 19 x 8.5 (+50)
18 lbs
Rear: 19 x 11.5 (+40)
20 lbs
The following fitments will become available in mid-August 2006:
996 and 997 Narrow body
Front: 19 x 8.5 (+50)
18 lbs
Rear: 19 x 11 (+58)
20 lbs
Cayman and Cayman S
Front: 19 x 8.5 (+50)
18 lbs
Rear: 19 x 10 (+36)
19 lbs
I think synergy has 7mm spacers.
I have the f110's with the old 996 offsets and I think the offset is like 64. I used 15mm spacers on mine.
So in conclusion with the f110's and spacers i think synergy has offset of 51mm and I have offset of 49mm.
I also have 7mm spacers in the front wheras synergy has none.

on a side not I also feel the fronts look significantly better with the 7mm spacers, especially with the rears so aggressive.
I have not had any issues with rubbing, even at the track.
