Hey guys... honest opinions please.. trash talk.. limited please.you can get a point across withoput being douchy..:)

My wife asked for 22s and lowered... thoughts?

I seem to like the look.

I like it! What could be considered douchy? You went with stock/replica 958 OEM rims. You will find a lot of Cayennes lowered on 22's on this board.

I would suggest blacking out the B and C -Pillar posts on a darker color Cayenne. Never understood why silver was the default option for those. Why bring attention to the window separations?

Looks good to me. If your looking for the 4 wheel drive look keep wheels small and raised. A larger wheel and lowered is aggressive street driving.

I like it! Looks mean! Now I suggest painting the pillars black and paint the calipers red :) Goes well with grey.

Looks good. Looks like the same color as mine.

I think it looks great. Same color as I got my wife. Now to make sure my wife doesn't see this thread... :D

I am so used to seeing those wheels on 958s, can't say I like it.

I have the same color Cayenne. Did the calipers in red with G2 caliper paint (from eBay) which has held up for years. Also get the PORSCHE decals for the calipers on eBay while you are there. I left the B and C pillar stock silver. Keepin' it real

I'm with Enilder....it's a stock wheel for the 958 so it's hard for me to like. BUT...it is probably better than what you had before. The GTS wheel may look better since the 955 and 957 have similar body lines.

well guys... for the ones that say they dont like.... i can almost put my 911 up on a bet that if you came across a set with new tires for $400.00 they'd be on your Cayenne too.

Thank goodness for craig's list and people that owe the IRS **** tons of bread.

Looks good to me. I would also black out the pillars.

Looks great. Helps put more SPORT in the SUV for a Cayenne.

fast996 Aug 30, 2012 05:04 PM

looks great, paint those calipers

Dennis C Aug 30, 2012 06:08 PM

I like the wheel style just fine. It looks nice. Personally, I'd lean more towards a 20" wheel, but that's just my opinion. I've never really been an oversized wheel guy...

For $400, where do I sign up?! What a steal..considering I just spent $2k+ on some Michelins.
