08 Cayenne TT Questions - guidance requested

a few questions

1. 20" or 22" - for those that have tried wither - is ride ok with either
2. Leaning towards Techart Formula GTS black 22" (subject to comments above) - can you recommend anyone to deal with - anywhere in the US that exports.

grateful for any feedback

thanks

yss

Personally, I wouldn't go higher than 20" in the NY metro area- how are the roads where you live?
Is it just for you, or is there a spouse/significant other that may complain about the true road feel ride?
I was looking at 20" but my wife and kids might find it to harsh- always want them to be happy.

However, 22" Techarts are verrrrry nice!

23"??? Do they pave your roads weekly? What's that like to not have to dodge the holes?
I wouldn't mind if they put cones over them here- at least then it would be fun like an autocross course.

I think the CTT will come with 18" wheel as standard.
Anything bigger will cost more money as an option.
I will transfer my 20" Sport Techno from my CS to the CTT when I get one.

i know most people who get 22 end up lowering the car cuz it looks really like 4x4 or more like 8x8.
so i am curious to see the height of the car with the 21s.
When i get a 08 later i would like to stay with the factory specs and if the height looks good, it will be a simple swap out of aftermarket 21s (HRE or DPE or Techart again). holla.

does the MY08 come with height control... and if so when on the Access Mode (lowest) what speed does the car raise itself to normal driving height.

CTT comes with 18" standard
21" an option - 11k AUD so approx 8k USD

Car rises immediately when driving - you cant keep the air suspension in low mode - which is a shame.

Sport Techno is a nice wheel....

got notice today - car arrives March 3rd for pre delivery

Not in Australia.
$11,200 AUD!!!!!
we pay almost double the price for the car (after converting currency) and still get screwed on the options! (compared to USA)

Cayenne TT is 230k AUD.
