20" Techno Wheel help
Hi everyone! I've been spending too much time trying to get a more custom look to my White Turbo Pepper. The wheels I wanted originally were 22" but I'm too worried that the ride will be uncomfortable and the might not handle as well or be as safe as factory spec OEM stuff. So I'm leaning heavily to the 20" Sport Techno wheels with in the widest version recommended. I also prefer painted white to match or I can get them painted. 20" White Sport Techno Wheels
Any help finding these is appreciated. Looking for new or used and hopefluuy close by. I live in Northern California near San Fransisco.
Here is a quote from another post recommending some specs.
Here is a pic of my 2005 Turbo White Pepper
** Another thing I'm trying to figure out how to go about doing, is putting a silver decal on the sides that spells "Turbo White Pepper" or just "TURBO" in along a silver stripe. Any picture of side decals on peppers or ideas on how to get this done??
Also want to put 25% more tint all around the back and sides.
And last but not least... Still trying to get MP3 hardwired into the sound system. I'm running RF right now and it sucks. Definately would really appreciate any known mods to get either CD/DVD playing MP3's or hard wired iPod type fix for the sound system.

There are also three different versions available.
If you're owning a Cayenne Turbo and you're planning to get the 500 HP powerkit retrofitted sooner or later, get the NEWER version of the Sport Techno rims which has changed spokes to allow room for the bigger brakes of the powerkit.
These rims are standard on ALL Cayenne for MY 2006 and some cars of late MY 2005 (may/june production?).
The third available version is the version which is 10'' wide in the rear instead of 9''. You can achieve a similar "effect" in the rear by using the 17 mm wheel spacers with the 9'' rims in the rear.
Especially on the Cayenne, the tire choice is very important. I would go with Porsche approved tires only, I like the Michelin Diamaris very much, it offers a perfect combo of sportiness in the dry and sufficient traction and safety in the wet. All Porsche approved tires have a N-designation in their name, like N0, N1, etc.

Boy, you guys are making it very tempting to go for the 22"
I had Jenner and Sharkster give me a LOT of reasons not to get the 22" wheels.

Cromagnet,
Well, I was going to buy 22"s but I went with the 20's intead as well, no change on ride but I can hear tire noise now, I havent installed H&R springs yet cause it's back ordered I dont have the air suspension that's why I went with 20's right away, I would go 22 if I did.
I dont want my wife complaining about the ride. or else I'll trade it in again for a Turbo with air

Adiaz,
the AT italia presa w/ Michelin Diamaris YR20 XL like FAT-911's , but in silver. I'm still waiting for my center caps w/porsche crest, i'll take more pictures after my springs gets installed, here's a sample without the caps. I measured the center it's 70mm, most porsche oem caps are 60mm. I found out from ralph boothe design that they sell the 60mm locking ring for the 70mm opening
But Essential Styling sells the at itallia cap with the porsche crest they're in britain though, i wnet with that instead..

I'm sure you can get it made cheaper I was just stupid
U can use the original caps remove the at sign, polish the center then stick the porsche crest, but isnt the porsche crest expensive? so same thing. By the way are you lowering yours?
I already bought eibach from ebay. someone sells it for $290+. I saw hiim post another one, unless you got air susp.
