Thanks anyway Mark. The bolts that you have are for BBS wheels. I have a bag full (plus washers & nuts).

MarkD, they are off of Kinesis K58s and K19s

dang.
The search for the elusive Kinesis wheel bolts continues.

I thought I had a shot earlier this year when a dealer for the "wheel company" who bought them seemed to have made progress... but it was all an illusion.
Ah well.

I just called Alan who worked for Kinesis for many years. He told me the bolt was custom made for them so I doubt you will be able to find that excat bolt but he did say you shoud be able to use a bolt similar to the one in my picture but use a class 10 lock nut.

Great that so many of us Kinesis owners are left hanging since the "take over"

+1 on the Kinsesis center section. I cracked one spoke all the way through and the other was starting to crack as well. Found it while swapping wheels during a DE last weekend. Figure I should replace both sides, IF, I can find the centers, if not, I have a really neat, albeit expensive, coffee table.

Manny, have you checked to see if a wheel repair outfit can weld/rebuild it where it cracked? Probably not suitable for track use, but might still be good for street.

Back up for sale!

I bought two of Marks Kinesis 18 x 1.5" outer halves. It turns out, I don't need them. I'm asking the same price $100 for the pair + shipping(usually around $20-25 for the pair).

thanks!

Guys - my name is Jim Dorociak and am a feller Rennlister. I restore Speedline wheels and have have posted many times here about my work. Reason I am writing is I just purchased a set of Kinesis Super Cups wheels to restore and sell to someone probably on Rennlist. They are 8 & 9 x 18 and I will probably make them 8 & 10, or 11's depending on who wants and needs them. More than likely I will have some bolts to sell as I plan on replacing these bolts with the larger M7 bolt that is used on Speedlines, OZ Racing. This is what I did on the last set of Super Cups I sold. I do not have them yet in my possession, am not sure what my asking price will be, and of course it will depend on what parts I have to buy to make this set. Jim

evil 944t are you running Supercup wheels on either of your cars? I am trying to decide what sizes to build. Currently my set is 8 & 9.5 . The inners on all 4 wheels is 6.5" , the outer on the front is 1.5 and the rear outer is 2.5 and I was thinking rear 8" inners would almost make an 11" for the rears, but am concerned this set will only fit a 993 widebody.
