Damn! I was going in on a GP with Jeff for a set of those wheels!

[Blown353]

Sweet! Maybe now I can get some K18 spinnahz in 28". Kinesis always neglected the dub crowd.

On a more serious note, that really bites if it pans out to be true.

[Stoned_Elvis]

its most likely true. i heard it from the same people that told me that they had an job opening before it was advertised. kinises is on the same street as us. only people left are hre and fliske.

Don't forget CCW and a few other specialty mfg's (Jongbloed, Kodiak, etc.) There are still plenty of other mfg's of fine 3-piece wheels, but Kinesis was one of my favorite in terms of finshes and center styles.

Sad to see them go if it is true-- because I really did want a set of K18's one of these days.

you'll just have to get them with spinners

Forgeline look like the next closest alternative for my tastes.

[Ralph LoGrasso]

I knew I should've purchased my wheels already.

I hope this isn't true.

[colt zantop]

you still have Iforged also....there are still a number of nice wheel manufactures out there but if this is true...hopfully they will keep kinesis true to what they are......it would suck to see them change the whole line of wheels.

Boy I am sure glad I got my wheels.......probably one of the last set to come out of Kinesis before being bought out.

[MickMc]

Well that explaines it. I circled Kinesis on my SEMA map, made my way past all the rapers and what-not only to find a empty spot with no Kenisis to be found. I thought it was kind of strange...
I stoped at the lexani booth for a photo of a 32 inch bing bling...
I saw the wife of the owner (she is still hot (not 21 year old crack whore, I'll sign your poster ((no thats not body make-up I'm wearing)) hot, but Lady hot. I saw that the selection of wheels is growing but, the extra loud rap sounds were making me sick to my stomach , so I had to leave.

I stopped by I-Forged and the guys were super helpful.

I have had Fikse, HRE wheels and to me Kinesis had the best customer service.

It's a real shame they sold out to Lexani and it's an even bigger shame that Lexani is choosing to shut out the Kinesis customer base.

Doesn't make good business sense to me. Other than maybe they got a killer deal and only needed Kinesis for the tooling and machinery.

as i understood it, kinesis, hre, fikse, as well as most of the other big 3 piece wheel manufacturers dont make the wheels in house, but send orders out to the same contracted machine shop...

and anyways, dont forget about J-Line.

well when protouring goes wild you can get your very own set of 30inch Kinesis wheels for tha low-low..

whatever that means.. haHAHAHAH
