First Post - Please take it easy on me.

Okay, I chose to go ahead and purchase the Victor Equipment LeManns in Chrome for my 06 Cayenne S:

Of course, right after I bought them I found a set of 4 at 1010tires.com for about $500 less. I feel sick about this, so I am trying not to not think about it, alright people?

Does anyone have any tire suggestions? 285/35/R22

TireRack has the:
Michelin 4x4 Diamaris @$371
BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW 2 @ $274
Sumitomo HTR Sport H/P @ $224

I'll probably go with the Michelins just because I had them on my X5 and I managed to get around in a bit of snow without any big problems, whereas the I had the g-Force on my CLK and could not move. (I know, awd vs. rwd, i know... ) But it's just my gut feeling. Comments?

If you all are interested I can post some high res photos and a review when they arrive this Thursday...

Fo sheezy - a review and pics would be of great benefit.

Very nice rims. I wouldn't agonize over the extra benjamins.

As far as tires - BF's on my Kahns great so far in dry or wet. I will try the other two and finally make my mind up. The next set for me will be the Sumitomos. But I have to burn through the BF's first.

 

but 1010tires.com doesn't even show them in stock...

 

I did call and speak to someone at 1010 tires (Rick I beleive?) and was told Victor Equipment wheels can be ordered and delivered within a week.

 

mszakach, I thought you were trying to forget about it - that's like throwing salt in your own wound dude

 

It's all a freaking blur. I was so excited to get rims I must have overlooked the price on 1010. I was honestly running around my office having an anxeity attack.. lol

I called a few places, spoke to some people, when 1010 said the rims would take a week to get in stock I went ahead and ordered from the eBay auction. Afterwards I checked the prices and just smacked myself... Anyway! It's over! And they will be here shortly!

Sidenote - WheelEnhancement said they did not sell Victor and actually told me to avoid Victor wheels because they are not 'hub centric' and they have had vibration complaints. On victor's website, they say all their wheels are specifically designed for Porsche and are hub centric... The eBay vendor also assured me they are hub centric. We'll see!

What do you think of the overall quality of the Victor wheels?

they're MADE by TSW... the quality is decent

 

Where is Dtmautowerks?

 

Actually I had no idea they were made by TSW. I was under the impression that TSW is not exactly the best quality wheel, no? I'll accept your "decent" quality rating though...
