Who can guide me to a Kinesis rebuilder.
First post and long time lurker.
I purchased a set of Kinesis K19's. The faces are nicked up a bit and need to be refinished. I called Lexani which purchased Kinesis a few years back. They were less than helpful. They kept pressuring me into buying new wheels instead of refinishing. After asking 3 separate times of companies who can rebuild and refinish he wouldn't give me any info. I was even prepared to pay Lexani to refinish them. He again said "it will be cheaper to just purchase new".
I find it very hard to believe refinishing the centers cost even a 1/4 of what they want for new ones.
Can someone guide me to someone or a business that can refinish and rebuild Kinesis wheels?
The wheels are 19x8.5 front and 19x11 rear if it makes a difference in cost.
Thank you in advance!

Rep Power: 0 Do they actually have the tools and knowledge to split a 3 piece wheel to refinish?
The only way to correctly refinish these wheels is to remove all the bolts and split the wheel and strip and paint the center by itself. There are 5 refinishing places local to me but they do not split the wheels. All dealers use the same types of businesses. My local dealer uses AWTC and they are a mobile refinishing business.
I sent out 5 emails to places that can refinish 3 piece wheels. No replies yet.

try wheels america. I had them refinish a set of Iforged in custom colors, they were 3 piece and pretty reasonable.
