the guy that does my powder coating said that i cant get them done because powder coating would mess up the carbon fiber

I ride with a guy that has the orange rings. I am not sure where he got them. I will ask if I think about it the next time I see him, but that will be a while. I don't talk to him except when we are on riding trips and we do not have one planed for a few months.

the rims aren't like other carbon fiber parts, they more like a plastic so check again, see if it makes a difference

YOU CANNOT POWDERCOAT CARBON FIBER. You can only powdercoat metals.

OMFG! READ PEOPLE. They are talking about HIPER rims. Yes u read it right HIPER CARBON FIBER WHEELS, made entirely out of carbon fiber except little things like bolts. So no, you CANNOT powdercoat the wheels

they might have made them for a short period and stopped making them. i know they made green rings for a while and had a problem with the dye or something and stopped offering them in green. Their website still shows the green rings, but about 3 weeks ago we tried to order some for a KFX and they were no longer available.

yeah like ralph said it is impossable to p/c carbon fiber, I figured people already knew that. The only way you could get orange rings is to make hiper make you a set

I was wondering how long it would take for someone to catch that.

I talked to 1 of the guys I ride with. He said that the other guy ordered them straight from the company with the orange rings. It has been almost a year since he purchased them. So give Hiper tech a call, and you will be able to get a set from them if they still make them.

Hiper is also supposed to be comming out with a new line of wheels, i think its just a different finish. They may be offering orange with this new line. Maybe they just dont have it on the web site yet, just give them a call.
