They still make them. If anything, the quality is probably better with some improvements in the finish. I think they are still doing some racing sponsorships - at least they were working on it this time last year....

That is not true. Lexani's are cast, mostly 1 pc, but they did intro some 3 pc wheels last year (still cast). They are still made to the same standards. If anything, Asanti has picked up some of Kinesis construction knowledge and the Kinesis brand gained some better finishes. Kinesis is still being actively marketed.
