More cool wheels and what I don't like about my Cayenne

Looks like TireRack will be getting 2 new wheels soon that look pretty nice.

OZ Racing has a new "Palladio ST"...looks REAL nice, the extra long spokes will make the 20" size look bigger since the spokes run the full diameter of the wheel!

And this new BBS wheels the "AI" it's made with some cool new tech that makes it super-light... in 20 x 10 and 22 x 10.5 sizes

Oh and some nits and picks on my Cayenne. After 2900 miles I have my first "noises". When the car is cold, at about 35-40mph when you let off the gas you hear an odd squeak-squeal... not a consistent tone but a warble. First time I heard it I thought there was a cat trapped under the front end. And when you apply brakes, the tone changes. Disappears when warm.

Oh and Sand Beige/Havanna interiors... grrrrrr!!!! Don't do it! It looks filthy already. 2 or 3 SoCal rains and it looks like sh*t. Appears that driver mat is already ruined, will buy a new set. I already had them shampooed once, and they are just magnets for dirt. I can't IMAGINE having this interior in a climate with nasty weather. There's still a very faint mark on the a-pillar from the first day I bought it when I made my walk-around, checked in and out... I reached up to "feel" the texture of the material and there's a slight mark from my fingers and they weren't dirty.

That carpeted panel on the lower front of the seat that faces the pedals keeps popping loose, too!

The first week I had it, I closed the rear hatch and heard a noise on the ground of metal falling. So I reach down and pick up a 3/4" long metal "clip" looking thing... I hope nothing falls off, lol.

Another question, was auto climate control REALLY so exotic that it couldn't be standard on a 50K vehicle? Did they wind tunnel test the moonroof at the "full open" position @ about 25mph?

Having said that, I really like it. It handles like a scalpel and feels solid and stable like a tank. The other day it was raining and I decided I wanted to try to make it lose traction a bit, so I drove around for 10 or 15 minues with PSM off and short of doing something stupid, I couldn't even break the tires loose.

Another thing, I went to Aerosmith in LA last night... but didn't take the Porsche, lol... just can't bring myself to drive it somewhere where some idiot may hit it or smthg.

BTW, Aerosmith rocked. Tyler thinks he's 25, Joe Perry is awesome and the crowd loved them.
