I had a set of Modular Performance/Victor wheels, black center with chrome lips. I got rid of them for stock turbo twist 18"s.

The Modular wheels were really heavy and my ABS kept going on when I had it. It also had pretty crappy Hancook wheels on it... so could be a combination of both.

habitat, i just did a search for pics of the cayenne you had. dude, great looking ride. those wheels totally fit the truck. very clean and not overdone. i say "had" b/c you were trying to sell it but looking at your signature i was not sure if it sold?

It would keep me from buying them. I would never buy wheels that are heavier than my stock one's.

Thanks Jax,

Considering that the wheels are coming heavier these days, such as the Sport Techno and the stock Turbos are 24/30 it would assume that Porsche is catching on to something. Maybe way too many warrantee issues with wheels. . . .

I have a pretty substaintial pdf on wheel weights of pretty much all makes and models if anyone is interested, just PM me their email. 6speed doesn't seem to want to let me attach the file.

*Since this takes quite a bit of work emailing the file to everyone, I will only do it for rep points :-), so please positive rep me ahead before I send it*

Not sold yet. I'm in the middle of a sketchy deal with a guy in switzerland. I just reposted the truck for sale again.
