you might as well stay stock wheels if you're going to do 20s since doing wheels is 99% vanity. 20s do not look large enough.

22s or stay home fellas.

 

I just went from 22" Pirelli Scorpion Zeros to 20" Scorpion Zeros for the following reasons:

If you live in an area with roads similar to California, you'll be driving on/thru rutts and pot-holes. I lost a 22" wheel and tire on the I-5/I-10 merge in downtown L.A. I was going the speed limit when I hit a pot-hole. I slapped on the collapsible spare and limped home.

When I drive through the fantastic mountain and canyon roads of California, I drive hard (as some of my 6speeders will confirm), and I've damaged (now egg-shaped) a brand new 22" wheel and failed another.

All damaged/failed wheels are cast aluminum wheels with no rim lip (flushed center hub). Considering the weight of the Cayenne and speed, each failed wheel split the inner rim - could no longer hold air.

I now have a new set of 20" wheels and with the limited canyon driving I've done on this set up, I'm very pleased.

I will admit, the 22" look better than the 20" wheels, but I can not risk getting stranded far away from home (>150 miles from home) or a major city.

I can not see myself going back to a 22" configuration ... I better just stay home if I do.

My two cents ...

 

I'll bet you a ****tail (drink) that your wheels are out-of-round ... when was the last time you balanced your tires/wheels?

 

Great feedback, Norm.
I couldn't agree with you more. As much as i love the look of 22's, I enjoy taking full advantage of the performance my CTT has to offer and 20's allow me to do that.

 

2 month before....

 

We done a lot of 22s for these cars, both here locally and around the US...Honestly, we haven't had many complaints about the ride on these, especially air-supension equipped cars. A lot of buyers of our wheels at the local Texas dealerships are families or older people who are "non-enthusiasts" and again no complaints there either...I guess it just depends on each situation.

 

to all you rollin on dubs... pu$$ys

 

LOL Ben...

Like what Peter said...There is not enough difference to worry about.

I have a set of these on order and putting on 315/30/22 as well.

 

There is definitely a trade off between when you go with bigger wheels and skinnier tires. A friend of mine has 24" Forgiatos on his Cayenne Turbo and I didn't even really notice them on there when I drove it. I'd say go 22s!
