KN Wheels -- The list is weird and wonderful. I was reading the March R&T
review of the Caterham Seven and noticed its wheels were minilite/panasport
look a likes made by KN of England. I wrote to them yesterday asking about
fitment, and today there were 4 comments on KNs.
What a coincidence.
BTW haven't heard from KN yet.
