Default Inquiry about kinesis wheels...need pics and info!!

I'm interested in kinesis wheels but am having trouble figuring out how much they cost. I'm particularly interested in the K58's. Does anyone have any pics? Any info? MUCH APPRECIATED

Default Figure $800-900/wheel. Available direct from www.kinesismotorsports.com (call them)

or www.supremepowerparts.com. Try SPP first...likely to be a bit cheaper than buying direct.

As far as pics...there are plenty that have been posted. Use the search function. I know the sander's website has K58's on them (it's a website compiled by someone here with A4/S4's with every kind of rim imaginable...do a search).

One more tidbit...Kinesis also offers a reverse mount wheel. The K58 has a gap between the wheel center, and the outer lip (typical for most 3 piece wheels). The K59R eliminates this gap by altering the way the wheel center is mounted to the lip. They use a center piece from a 19" wheel and reverse mount it (hence the name K59R...even though it's exactly the same look as the K58...only without that gap around the outside). It's a nicer look imho, however it adds about $150 to the cost of each wheel.

To get an idea of what I'm talking about, do a search for K29R on the S4 forum. There is one person there that has ordered a reverse mount version of the K28 wheel (I think it was S4TNT). Here is one shot of his wheel:
