Kinesis Wheel Questions
Hello,
I recently purchased a C5 Z06 with Kinesis K28 or K28R wheels (stamped 5 05 and 5 475, guess that's date and bolt pattern along with Kinesis serial stickers), I am unsure of the widths/offsets but they have 305 on back and 285 on front (previous owner was running a 1/2 in spacer on the front), which isn't as wide as I am looking for. I am trying to figure out if I want to keep them or sell them. Since the company no longer exists does anyone know if it is still possible to have them adjusted and freshen up (would like 18x12 and 18x11 with offsets to run 335/315 tires). I am also curious if anyone knows what these are worth (the tires are NT555R that are on the wear bars). Any help would be appreciated I just unsure what to do with these, they seem rare but not sure if that means they are sought after.
Thank You!!

If we knew the wheel widths and backspacings, we could figure out the offsets. Since the tires are shot, remove them and take the wheel measurements.
Those wheels can be re-hooped, for different widths and offsets.

Awesome! I will dismount them and take some measurements, probably going to hold off and make it a winter project though. Do you know who would be able to re hoop them, not sure how specialized that is?

I don't know of any shops that work on three-piece wheels, in Illinois. That doesn't mean there aren't any, just that I haven't heard of them. My suggestion would be to ask the folks in the forum, below.

The shop that did the work on my CCW's, is well versed in working on & refinishing modular wheels, like yours. If you can't find someone closer, this place can do almost anything.
