Just checked out the www.lexani.com website. OMG, what kind of deal with the devil did Kinesis make? Fikse must be laughing their asses off...

lexani probably bought kinesis for the manufacturing/technology and then apply it to their 24" wheel line cuz ya know, the 24"ers are all about performance

So does anybody know what Lexani's plans are? Are they going to continue to make the current line of Kinesis race wheels and service the old ones? Doesn't make a lot of sense to buy Kineis and then quit making the wheels that gave them a great reputation...

Man do I feel better after stumbling onto this thread. I have a set of Kinesis 17" Supercup wheels that were on my wife's 1989 928S4 and found that one of the front wheel spokes has a crack in it. I called Kinesis and asked to buy a replacement. Was told they no longer make them (!) and they had nothing to offer.
I replaced the wheel set with another and am thinking of selling these wheels at Sebring at the 48 hour event. I had enough of their attitude over the phone not knowing the story behind it all. Go figure...

I think that I'll wait on the "new Kinesis" till Hoosier comes out with R6s in 22 inchers.

So, is there a Kinesis division on the Lexani site or did they kill the line all together? This sucks I was just looking into a set for the track, is there a good place you can still get them?

Why would they buy Kinesis just to kill it? Its not like Kinesis was a direct competitor of theirs. Its not like Kinesis has some crazy technology either - the wheels are pretty simple and Lexani could figure out their manufacturing methods without having to buy them.
I'm just afraid that they are going to take the Kinesis wheel designs to a CNC shop in China and start cranking out low quality wheels that have the same look (PURE SPECULATION ON MY PART).
