I spent lots of cash and time getting a set of Kinesis wheels in the past for my car. They look great but have recently lost a fastener.

When I called to get advice on repairs it appears that they have been purchased by Lexani and have zero interest in customer support. Went as far as hanging up on my after giving me the phone number of their distributor in my state.

When I got theses wheels BBS refused to make a wheel that had the rim halves anodized. Now it appears that I made the wrong choice and would advise anyone else considering Kinesis to not repeat this mistake.

Hopefully I can get the fasteners....

I'll contact their distributor in the morning and hope that they can supply the hardware. I'm going to buy as much as I can get. New wheels after this season.

I'm after black chrome fastwners that mate the center section to the rims.
I'm away from my home server for awhile so can't email.
Thanks very much.

Examined the fastwners on all of the wheels and plan to replace them. The nuts are common steel with attached washer. Many have rusted and some broke off when loosened.

Contacted Bob Woodman tires/wheels and they have the correct size (also fit BBS). 40 needed for each wheel.
