Default Help with Kinesis wheels

I have a 2006 CS4, for which I bought 3 piece forged 8.5x19" Kinesis wheels in 2006 (see attached). One of the bolts holding the pieces together fell out and when I was looking for a replacement I found out that Kinesis is no longer around - apparently the name was sold but the products are gone. Any suggestion for finding the OEM bolts? I will look around at Home Depot or something this weekend to try to find similar bolds (1 5/8" long, 1/2" head diameter). Should I worry that a bolt just fell out? Thanks.

Send a PM to " abt cup " Thatcher. He moves a lot of Kinesis wheels and probably has a spare he could accommodate you with.

I had similar Kinesis wheels, purchased from Wheel Enhancement wheelenhancement.com, on my '99 996. You might try to contact them to see if they still have any spare parts.

ForgeLine might send a bolt to you. My latest set from them came with ARP bolts.

why Forgeline? I looked at their website and they seem to have similar wheels. Did they buy Kinesis?
