I like the front. Wonder who it'd look like in black...

Thank you for sharing...

Any side views. Like to see the wheels better.

The back looks too plain for the front end. Not feeling the wheels, they look like they belong on a Benz.

Kit looks GREAT - but as usual, the wheels suck (many JDM tuners do horrible jobs on SUV wheels) in my opinion.

Those pictures don't do it justice...I have some great pictures of it on the road on my laptop. I'll post them up when I can.

Those wheels are hideous though, pretty sure they are NOT Rinspeed's.

The wheels are ghetto fabulous, they should of sticked with the 21" oem's as I can imagine it would look pretty good.

I agree. The wheels are a bit too "shiny" for the sleek and edgy lines of the Rinspeed kit. The company, TSM who imports Rinspeed to Japan seems to have a whole array of random product lines such as DVinci Wheels, Rinspeed, Oettinger, Racing Dynamics, Nothelle, etc..They seem like a small version of a CEC in Japan. I just don't understand where DVinci fits in the whole picture.....

Why would they do such a thing by putting on those wheels

+1 Rinspeed's are the best aftermarket rims for the Cayenne IMHO
