I recently ordered a 2012 base Cayenne for delivery in July. I ordered base wheels with the intent of upgrading to an aftermarket set up. I am finding very little available in the 19 - 20" range. Everything available seems to be either: (1) a replica wheel of questionable origin/quality; (2) 22" in diameter (not going to work here in the Northeast and too blingy for my wife); or (3) outrageously expensive. I have been checking ebay for OEM takeoffs but, to be honest, I don't love any of the Porsche OEM 19 or 20" Cayenne wheels. Any suggestions?

 

I agree, I'm not wowed by any of the OEM rims except for the Turbo II wheels. and I definitely don't want to go to a 21" wheel. you might want to look into touareg and q7 wheel options, as they should fit the cayenne no problem.

Thanks - But these are the kind of questionable origin/questionable quality wheels that I am afraid of. The Cayenne will be my wife's primary car to use with my kids. I do not want to equip it with wheels that may not have not been properly manufactured/tested/certified and could by unsafe. In addition, if I ever needed to replace one of these where would I go to?

 

My experience with ebay wheels had been pretty good.
I have 20" audi knock offs on my C. They were stamped "made in Italy". Bought them on ebay for $1000 and used the stock lug nuts. Have driven them over 10K miles, above 130 mph and have hit MAJOR NJ / NYC potholes with zero bends or cracks. 1 year later the same wheels are still sold on ebay only now they are cheaper.

Just sharing my experience, but then again i take a lot of risks in my life.

 

So if these type of wheels are questionable (and I agree) make sure you are not buying any type of replica knock off. I have replica 22's on my GTS and I am ok with it but I can understand the concern with the wife & kids. Your going to have to spend $$$ any way you look at it if you want the real deal manufactured/tested/certified name brand wheels. All wheels can bend and crack but of course some are made better than others.
