Kinesis 17 Three piece wheels - can they be made 15's?

[jamesjedi]

Hi,

Perhaps a goofy question....

Anyone know if 17 inch Kinesis K-10s can be converted into 15 inch wheels?

Thanks

No, not possible.

I think it can be done with the Jongbloed wheel centers. Are these centers different?

[zoo]

You are mistaken.
The outer diameter of the barrel and lip is what determines the diameter of the wheel.
What are you trying to achieve?

Kinesis used single step halves, so at best, you could go down to a 16" with a reverse (flat) lip. Problem with that though, is I'm not sure anyone makes them. Jongbloed would be a good place to ask. They've quoted small diameter custom halves for me in the past. If the parts exist, they should know.

Thanks for tbe reply. I know that Jongbloed can make the Aero 305 a 16 to 18 inch wheel. I will contact them. See what can be done.
