Just got Rinspeed c5/1 23"... powder coat ?

I just got the Rinspeed 23" wheels and i want to paint the these flat/matte black color do u think if i powder coat them are they more likely to crack or bend or anything.. What do you guys suggest?
And i also want this exact color to me it looks like it has a little gloss in the flat black does it have certain name?

Powder coating is always a better option than painting. BTW-Great looking wheel!
I would pin stripe the bezel yellow!

How are 23's on a Cayenne? I've been contemplating buying a set of 22's..But i don't want to compromise the ride.

I haven't put them on yet but ill let you know how the ride is... Do you guys think i should paint them flat black or Gloss black? But i herd if i powder coat them it will it more make the wheels weaker and more likely to break or crack since its baked at and high temp?and the tires are very low profile

I've never heard that..The wheels on my Murcie are powder coated and i've had no issues. You might want to call Rinspeed and see what they say.

hbr is infamous around these parts
Have had 3 sets of HREs powder coated no issues..........stay away from gloss black. Powder coaters have many, many more options than they used to a few years ago. Stop by a good shop and ask to see what they have. Killer wheels BTW

Wow man... those are by far my favorite wheels. Really curious to know if there is a difference in ride quality between those and 22's. I assume they will ride the same.. Post some pics up pronto when you get them on

I would powder coat for sure. While most factory wheels are painted, powder coating is more durable, evidenced by its use in industrial applications. I would personally do gloss black with a contrasting stripe as I'm getting sick of all the flat wheels.

I had the same wheel on my 06 Turbo powdercoat gloss. Never had a single problem.

The ride was 95% close to stock.

Great wheel.
