I think there are better aftermarket wheels for the price point. The weight is not a big factor because of the type of driving most would do with the Cayenne. I too like the GTS wheels but in terms of my concerns for weight, forged, etc. it is not a factor for the Cayenne as opposed to my 997 Turbo.

Have you looked at the Ruger GTS replicas in 22" on ebay? It looks to be very nice quality. I know that GMP was selling them in Black at one time as well.

If you really must stick to these I would check out ebay or wait for take offs with hardly any miles on them for $2500-$2800 with tires.

 

I have the 21 Sport Plus wheels on my 08 Turbo. They're really nice wheels. In my opinion, the nicest stock wheels. Mine are not painted though, I prefer them silver. Goes well with my black exterior color.

Assuming the wheels are the closest thing to brand new then YES! you have a good deal. The cheapest set of 21 Sport Plus with Michelin tires sell around 5500$ on ebay from this trustworthy guy (go blindly with this guy, he's pro and honest):

I asked once at the dealer how much the 21 Sport Plus wheels go for: 8800$ with tires and TPMS!

 

egr58 i checked these sites already these wheels are either used or refurbished and repaired..the ones i told u guys about are brand new factory wheels.. i think ill purchase them i think it's a pretty good deal ...=) thx anyway!!

 

Go for it! You won't go wrong. The wheels are stunning. Don't forget the Cayenne is one of the heaviest SUV on the market and you need good wheels., ideally stock wheels.

Don't want to sound like a smart guy but stock wheels are designed for a specific car thus it's inner structure is also different. Due to the car's mass, you'll have more weight per inch square in a Cayenne wheels than in a 911 wheel.

I am reading a lot about bent and cracked wheels with replicas and aftermarkets. Just check the topic "bent rims" and you'll see for yourself, many members experience similar problems. I don't think those wheels (replicas and aftermarket) are bad, they just cannot withstand the physics of a Cayenne. They would be perfect on any other sports car though.

 

Yes i totally agree with you!! This is exactly why i made up my mind on those wheels! i cant wait till they reach ..ill get them powdercoated in black with silver lining =) wht do u think?>

 

Goo for it i Got them on my 06 CTT brand new from porsche kuwait ;P dnt look back

 

You can get them for about $675 each from either Suncoast Porsche or Sunset Porsche but shipping to Dubai might be prohibitive.

 

would love to see those on the 1st generation cayennes.. do you have some pics??

 

I will send them a msg and ask..thx for the information.. but up until now think i got a pretty good deal =) the shipping is 800$ though..

 

will look cool
