What's The Status With Kinesis Wheels?

Are the current Kinesis wheels the same as what was previously offered or has there been a substantial change in the company and products?

Thank you for the info.

That's the ugliest collection of wheels I have ever seen!

Very sad. Many Porsche owners used their quality wheels for years and they killed the brand by selling to a ****ty manufacturer. It's pretty sad when you read Excellence and you have to deal with seeing 25 different ads per isssue of wheels that I would never use on my cars. Bling is not for Porsches.

Yeah, I didn't understand why they sold the company. Were they in any financial trouble or did Asanti/Lexani throw them an offer they couldn't refuse?

I dont think they were doing so hot, and thats why they sold(what Ive heard). They still offer a few of the wheels they had before, but its mostly a new lineup, which looks like crap. I believe 19" is the smallest size they offer. Someone needs to buy Kinesis and go back to how it was.

Good suggestion but I am sure they gave up the ghost due to lack of profits!
