CS Wheels and Tires....

Wanted to get some input as to how these wheels and new tires would look on my all silver 2008 CS ... replacing the current 18" wheels and trying to keep the same diameter so not to affect my CPO warranty.

Are these a good quality wheel combo and would everything fit without and spacers? TPMS sensors would be nice as well?

and 275/40R20 and 9.5" wide

Like everything else... you get what you pay for. I would guess that these wheels are cast and that they are made in China. I suspect that they are quite heavy, and the finish is cheap - as you would expect in a cheap wheel.

Personally, I wouldn't buy these wheels. The Cayenne is a big, heavy vehicle and it puts lots of stress on the wheels and tires. I'm sure that there are people who have purchased them and they haven't had any issues. For me, it's not worth the risk.

If I were planning to buy aftermarket wheels, I'd go to a reputable wheel maker. I've heard good things about Victor Equipment Wheels, and they are made specifically for Porsches. They are inexpensive relative to premium aftermarket wheels like HRE.

I had my experiences with knock-off wheels back in the days...

I would never buy them again, couldn't handle a small pot holes and just couldn't hold the shape.

Thanks....just the feedback I wanted to get...I agree the Pig is a heavy beast...and it's probably best to go with good solid wheels.

Good luck with your purchase. Make sure to post pics once you buy some new wheels!

As said, go with something that's built right and can support the weight of the Cayenne. If you are looking for an entry level forged wheel, our FMS lineup would do you good. You get a high quality wheel that will definitely look good on the car. PM if you need more info.
