It really sucks to hear that. The Kinesis F110 is one of my favorite wheels. Sigh...

Darn it.

I wonder what they (Lexani) have in store for Kinesis.

way to alienate the kinesis customer base. Why not restructer their website & press to appeal to both major demographics before letting out news like this. If I was about to pull the trigger on a set right now, i'd probably end up with some bbs LMs or set of fikses.

Does anyone really think Lexani is stupid enough to change the process of Kinesis? I have a feeling they'll keep the operation running as is.



Do you know something we don't Arling? Are they closing up shop and moving?

Thank you, Arling. I think we should all wait and see how things pan out. As many of you know I left Kinesis Motorsport about a year ago now to pursue other opportunities, which didn't work out by the way. I do think the product line will continue as it is, as well as some welcome additions. I do know that the product line will be manufactured in Corona, not in Vista. Please call me if I can be of any assistance.

Ah well... I'm digging the Fikses and the HRE Competition series wheels so I think the void is filled
