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?

Sold to Lexani from what I understand...no more modular lineup.

It does not surprise me at all to hear that!

yeah it became a bling bling wheel now ..they destroyed the line .. i still don't know why they bought a performance wheel line to make it the same as what they have already makes no sense ...

its a shame, because they had some really decent wheels

It was a great wheel line for a long time. I think they are still making 3 pc. wheels????

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!
