who owns this black FD-Very nice wheels

This pic was posted on another thread several weeks ago and I can't remember the source. I REALLY like the wheels, and want to find out more info about them. I believe the person who has the car repairs and sells Fds.

If anybody can point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,

Chris C.

looks like kinesis, or fikse. Either way you cant go wrong. They are the highest quality rims available that are made in N. America.

If they're Fikse, they're the old style that had the rivets on the outside (aren't sold anymore, AFAIK). The new Fikses have the rivets on the inside of the rim, which I like. Makes them way easier to clean.

Like someone else mentioned, they're probably Kinesis wheels

I could be wrong here but that silver FD in the background looks like Hinson Supercars fd with the ls1 conversion. if thats the case maybe they own that black one too, might try to hit them up. www.hinsonsupercars.com

Those are different. Compare the center of the rim.

Yeah but on the black car is almost looks as though the center caps are missing, thats why they look different in the center.

They are different. Notice the bolt holes in the black car's wheels do not pass through the spokes.
I believe the guy that took the pics rebuilds salvage FD and sells them.

Steve, you're right the car in the backgroun does look like the car on the Hinson Supercars. However the car on the Hinson page appears to be black with a silver fender whereas the car in the pic above is silver with a black fender. While the pics are not of the same side I'm pretty sure they're not the same.

In that case, I would be even more inclined to want it over the others. NA power!
