I've done a lot of wheel research in the last few weeks and haven't made a final decision yet. But, for what it's worth a couple of wheel dealers, including a Porsche dealer, told me they wouldn't recommend TechArt because they bend easily.

I think it depends on a number of factors including what color your Cayenne is, what look you're after, what size tire/wheel you're thinking of and how much you want to spend. I live in an area with a lot of potholes which, after much research, I have decided limits me to 20's and possibly 21's. I really like the HRE Monoblocks, but they're quite pricey and only come in 22's. A brushed HRE finish would look awesome on a titanium Cayenne, however. I am going to go with Porsche Sport Technos in the titanium version, but in 20's. If I decide I want something else, I'll use these for winter wheels because I really don't like the look of the 20" Porsche Cayenne Sport Design wheels that came with it. I also like the BBS wheels a lot, but I don't think I want that "mesh" design look and don't really like the style of the particular model available in 20's.

Bah get them painted and I think white is too 80's looking.
If the interior is Sand Beige then Silver is Fine if it is Black/Grey then Titantium Painted/Powder Coated would look great. White on White is just too much IMHO.
