what about Boston? it is as bad as SF, maybe worse, with the cold weather creating the road to crack and create BIG holes. Gotta drive slow and smart

19" pirelli ice and snow winter and 20" sport design from suncoast Porsche (on sale) for summer. the black rims might be a let down with basalt black metallic b/c the color doesn't really match well. and the 22" is bad for off road (camping) bad for trailering the race car, and bad for bending with road debris/pothole. 22" looks bling.

22s definetly will be harsh ride, especially on the Cayenne S. I guess you have to compromise if you think about it. The car will look amazing with those wheels on them, but as for the ride....well, that's another story. Good luck with the wheels.

I had both 20" and 22" Techarts on my Cayenne Turbo. There was absolutely no difference in ride between the two. BTW, the my 22s were size 265-35-22.

I have 21"s BBS RXII on my turbo and felt little difference when I switched from 20" stocks. Not bad at all --just a bit firmer. nothing the air suspension wasn't able to compensate for...

IMO, if you drive the car hard and fast, no point changing to 22's because you'll bend them easily, unless you are on the autobahn. I LOVE the look of 22"s, I think the car looks great with them. But, with 20" my ride is already harsh as hell and 22"s will not improve it. I am curious about how strong the 21" rims are because I love the BBS 21" rims...

okies, just went on a ride with a Cayenne Turbo, Gemballa tuned 600+hp, Gemballa 22" racings and lowering module.

I can live with the 22" on the Gemballa lowered sports setting :P

Still pumping from the ride. I can't believe a $WD SUV can handle a corner like that. And the sound of the engine and exhaust WOAH!!!!!

Now have to find a site to host the short movie that i took {i only took my 32mb card }

Doesnt look as fast in the movie, but the feel of the car... adrenaline still pumping...
