Yeah I'm here for ya Denny. Fikse did up their prices and therefore I can get you a way better deal on Kinesis.

Without the Performance pricing anymore I doubt I'll be able to bring them business. I've indicated that to them and are negotiating the next level of pricing as I'm sure I do enough volume to warrant that.

As of now i'd say Kinesis all the way. Pick your finish and it will still be cheaper than the Fikse. Plus count the difference in bolts used between the two. I've heard that Fikse may be using a newer 6000 series alloy whereas kinesis uses a 5000. What this means I have no idea. I'm not much of a metalurgist. hehe. Is that a word?

Go for a K29R, 18" wheel with a 19" face. Frikin' amazing.

Nope the car is not lowered. Stock suspension. I would love to lower the car, but I would not be able to get it in the drive way. As it is, the chin spoiler rubs now.
