Hey guys,

What is the best place to get spares for Kinesis wheels? Particulary centers and bolts/nuts for K27's?

Thanks!

Best regards,

Juha

Kinesis

Seriously, I sent mine back to them twice to be repaired.

Throw them away and get Fikses, Forgelines or BBSs

I run all forgelines

Problem is, I sold this set of K27s to a friend over in Finland and now he noticed one of the wheels have multiple hairline cracks in the spokes. So I need a new center piece...

Here's a photo:

That looks worse then the BBS that I sold to you :-)

Call Lexani directly and see if parts are still available. I was under the impression that they stopped making the "traditional" Kenisis wheels when Laxani bought the company though. For your sake, I hope I'm wrong.

You may be out of luck. We have a similar problem and I think I am just going to end up sourcing new centers from Kodiak and re-using the rims. I searched for used centers but nothing has turned up. Lexani was not very helpfull and isn't really doing anything to support older Kinesis customers, they specialize in 20"+ bling wheels and don't really know how to deal with racers...

That's the very same impression I've gotten from talking to a few people. I sold mine a while before the Lexani mess but I know a couple of folks who've been burned badly

Same thing mine did !

Maybe you guys can pool the good centers together and make a full set...

I have been looking for bolts. Speedware thought that they had some, but they are a tiny bit short.

This is a good idea, so who has an incomplete set of 17" K27's? Feel free to contact me!

Please tell me more about this option!
