No idea on that one....never been! But again if the car has air suspension, it actually should ride pretty smooth!

I'm not certain about other peoples experiences but I was very frustrated with Rinspeed's wheel quality. Three out of four of my wheels had multiple cracks. At least 2 cracks in separate areas of the 22inch c5/1's I owned. These may not be the best quality wheels so becareful especially if you're gonna be running 23's.

Granted there are a lot of potholes in LA and I ran 295/30/22 tires but I was told this is standard tire size to run.

Anyone else have bad experience with Rinspeed wheels? And btw I think they are no longer Rinspeeds but instead Mansory since the company was sold to Mansory?

This is my CTT, I still have it although I'm driving the Maser and Prius mostly nowadays. MY CTT is lowered with brackets and this picture was taken on the "load" setting which is the lowest. The wheels are 22in Rinspeeds which was bought by Mansory so you can still find these wheels by Mansory. One bit of advice I have is if you decide to lower the car and run these wheels in 22in then get thicker tires as I had to throw away my set of wheels after all 4 wheels suffered from cracks from driving in LA. I would say these wheels are not highest quality and not the strongest. Mine were powdercoated so I'm not sure if the heat compromised the strength of the wheels.

i bought some fake rinspeeds and am trying to figure out what tire size to get. Do you remember the size of these tires? Im looking at 295/30/22's or 285/35/22's, do you happen to have any pics of it at normal height?


Thanks for your help

I went with the 295/30 as it looks better but should've gone with 285/35 since all four of my wheels had cracks.
