Im being offered a trade , my 18 turbo wheels for 19 Porshe design wheels.

How does the Cayenne feels and handles with 19s?

if it helps at all. i have 20's and it handles well.. although i can't compare it with the ride on 18's..
i do get some vibration when i have it turned all the way to the left/right but then again it's never good to do so.. all in all i have no complaints.

my two cents.. i'm not too familiar with the turbo 18's or the porsche design 19's but i would go with the 19.

i have 21 inch stock sport plus wheels ... handles like a charm ... going from 18 to 19 can only be better ...

It also depends on the tires. Summer high performance vs all season tires. If the 18" tires are the summer performance tires, and the 19" are the all season tires, then going to 19" will not improve the handling. I have the 18",19", and 20" set up all with summer performance tires. Obviously, the 20" handles the sportiest, and the 18" handle the smoothest. I would trade the 18" for the 19" anyday. Porsche OEM 19" rims are 1 inch wider and tire size is also 20mm wider than the 18". It will fill the fender well better. Hope this helps. Good luck.

I have 19" wheels and you get a better looking car without trading with ride quality. I think 20" is the edge for ride comfort, sure it's not as good as 19". So, in short, 19" wheels are no different than 18"s in ride comfort, or snow handling. And, I'd never ever go with any replica wheels as the Cayenne is a heavy beast and there is the chance that your wheels can get bent easily.
