A couple of weeks ago, I bought a used set of Kinesis K58 wheels from Alamein (Chris) who had them on his 996TT until he went to 19" HRE's.

Neither one of us expected that the fronts would not fit my 2004 996TT due to the size of the ceramic brakes on my car.

When Chris heard about this from a post, he e-mailed me and offered to return my money no questions asked. I told him I really appreciated the offer, but I was going to have Kinesis replace the centers with the offset needed to fit the ceramic brakes.

I just wanted everybody to know what a great bunch of guys (& gals) that frequent this forum and I am still blown away by how much everybody helps each other!

Here are a few pictures of the K58's mounted on new AD07's.

Thanks illM3,

I remember when Preppy was encouraging you to buy them, but fortunately Chris lives down the street from me and it was an easy transaction with no shipping involved.

You'll find your wheels if you haven't already.

Good Luck

I agree with your post completely.

Not to take over your thread, but the same can be said about most of the professionals around here. They are truly tuned in to the needs of their clients and seem to go over and beyond for their clients.

I've dealt with Arling at Lucent, Sam and Allan at Speed Gallery and Jay at FVD and they are all very personable and professional.

Thanks
