Taking plunge on knock off rims!!
#16
those look great, could you tell me who the seller was? i really want the 21" rims but i know it will be nothing but trouble. the roads in michigan get very bad after each winter. i know my wife will occasionally drive the car, and that's my biggest worry about the 21" rims. on her cts with 18" rims, we've had 1 cracked rim and 7 tires replaced (the way she takes to work has a ton of potholes). thank god for the $35 a month wheel/tire insurance we got with her lease.
USA Rim through eBay. They were 895 for all 4.

Looking at these on eBay:

I want to keep the ride quality and leave the chrome window trim, so the machined rim and 20" size appeal to me. I photoshopped 20s on the image above.
What you guys think? I'm tempted.

A person who posted their rims on here earlier got his from there a while ago and is happy with them.

FYI www.usarim.com has the 21" version for 695 shipped.

Thanks for responding. I saw those, but I'm partial to the machined rim and 20" size. Just my reluctance to go aftermarket holding me back.

I have a set of 22" forged wheels on my cayenne and never had an issue with my wheels bending or cracking (been on them for 2 years). I would say that there's a huge difference in strength when it comes between cast and forged wheels.

On my wife's Cayenne we bought her snow tires but we keep the original rims since OEM cost way too much for an extra set. Is there any downside to this other than added cost of remounting tires bi-annually? Because the added cost to remount is cheaper than a set of rims.

Look at it this way, spend it once and only have to deal with a simple rotation of the tires and you're back on the road. Or spend over and over dealing with having to schedule the tire guy and hope they don't get something wrong further complicating your schedule and condition of tires and rims.
This is even easier if you use a tire service that can do the job on-site (truck comes to you).
