Will trade 22" for 20"
Will trade 22" for 20"
So by dealer mistake my CPO Cayenne TT came with aftermarket forged 22" wheels (I think these, but I have no papers on them: http://www.championmotorsport.com/pr...p/cms-rg5b.htm). The wheels are stunning and very light, but not the best fit for the roads I need to drive. After much deliberation and wife's nagging (it was a car for her, after all
) I am thinking about parting ways with them.
The wheels seem excellent and are in like new shape, except small damage - imprint of the rope from a bit careless shipping on 2 wheels. Imprints are rather visible, but extremely shallow (paper-thin depth at most), so it's a minor polishing job, and with machined lip with no coating there is no issue of paint matching. So it's a very simple fix. Other than that no curb rash, nicks or scratches.
Tires are Yokohama Parada 285/35R22, 2 x brand new and 2x with 2/3 thread.
Would swap for any good 20" wheels with new tires (summer preferred) or just wheels + cash. Preferably local (Bay Area, CA).
Here are the pictures. I'll post pics of the blemishes once I have a chance to clean the wheels.

Are these just the wheels and not tires? Let me know what you are asking for them.
Wheels, tires, sensors and center caps. Complete set. Haven't researched prices as of yet. Pm me and we can take this offline if interested.
+1 from the pics u posted they dont look like expensive 2/3 piece forged wheels and looks like a 1 piece cast with fake rivets. the center doesnt look like its floating and will come apart. if it is a generic one piece cast wheel, it isnt worth much and from the pic you posted, im almost 90% sure its a one piece cast.

The bolts are titanium and real bolts, but non-functional, so you can screw them in and out but they do not hold anything.
As for cheap, I checked with manufacturer, they want $9500/set for new. I have no idea if it's cheap or not, but it's more than I would pay for any set of wheels.
BTW, I am not sure why anyone would want a multi-piece wheel on an SUV - you cannot enter it into any race series where rubbing wheels would be common. All else being equal, 2 or 3 piece would be heavier and less strong than a 1 piece, with only benefits being able to change offsets and replace barrels - all makes sense only on an actively raced car in a series with frequent contact.
