New Shoes for the Turbo
Hi guys, I've been busy this weekend. My winter setup finally came, and I know it's a little late, but I waited 2 months for these rims. Plus, I really wanted to see how these babies look on the car. It's 20" Turbo II with glossy black, as opposed to the gunmetal OEM versions. I think these rims fit the 957 Cayenne really well, especially with the black accents on a black car. I already got 5 compliments from the people that saw it, and my wife, who really don't care much about cars, really loves how they look. A little kid even called it the bat-mobile, because it just looked so much more sinister. Anyways, hope you guys like it, and ask away with questions.
*EDITS*
Some might think the tires look a little tall, because I did use taller tires. The measurements for the tires are 275-45-20. If I had to do it again, I would choose these measurements, only because they are less rough, and the "sport" setting actually feels like "normal" with these tires. Thanks Ray from ROTtec for doing the custom black paint job on the wheels.

nice
very creative with the tyre & rim size -it seems you actually got the turbo ii wheels meant for the panamera in 20 size and put in a slightly higher profile tire - so you have more comfortable feel and same look as the cayenne turbo ii wheels in 21 size
like the black color on the rims especially with the black trim

Thanks guys, IMO the Turbo II is the best looking Porsche wheels so far. OEM should have the option to color the trim to match the body color. My 20" are only replicas, and I wish I would've thought about the Panamera 20", but not sure if those fit our cars. The real thing would've been better. In any case, these are my winter setup, so I will probably trade in my GTS rims for the real 21" versions of the Turbo II for my summer setup.

Looks very nice. Now all you need are the front windows tinted and you're set. Nice choice on the wheels and tires. The Turbo IIs are one of my favorite wheels but I'm thinking of gun metal for mine.
