Default Which one?

Both cost around the same, weigh about the same, made in the same factory.

Sadly, Kinesis is no longer around. They were bought out and the line was killed.

Yes, they were bought but still available. Was offered immediate delivery from wheels enhancement.

Kinesis was bought out so there will be little, if any, customer service. Go with the Champions if it's the same money.

If they are shipping it is only within the last couple of weeks. I couldn't get my last orders from months ago due to the cancellation in the line. I also talked with the old owners and this was confirmed

This is a big issue for me. I love Kinesis - had K20's on my M3, and Supercups and 968turbos on my 944. The 110's are great, but 1 pothole or a bad curbing may mean you are looking for a whole new set of different wheels.

I have the 20" RG5 Monolites with TPMS sensors on my 997TT and love them. They have a machined polished lip like the Kinesis F110's. I believe the 19" Monolites are lighter than the 19" F110's. You may want to contact Alan Baylis at Wheel Enhancement he worked for Kinesis and I am sure he could answer any questions. I found Alan to be very helpful.

Chris, stay stock, the wheels that come with the car are beautiful and very well made. Hang on to your money.

also a possibility, Joel. Waiting for the car gives you too much time to think about doing things to it.
