Been looking at new wheels for my CS, I am not the biggest fan of my 20" Spyder wheels and I have been wanting to in the future replace them with 21s.

Would I have an issues with air suspension? I will also have the calipers painted yellow during the swap.

Check the wheels what do you guys think?

Are they rated for the weight/torque of a Cayenne? Someone posted on one forum some photos of multiple cracked rims - not caused by impact - on some aftermarket rims he'd used on his Cayenne. The vendor selling them blamed the manufacturer who then blamed the actual manufacturer (Borbett I believe).. and the owner got no satisfaction from anyone. His $2,000 investment in rims was completely blown.

Maybe it's just me - but if they don't have TUV approval for the Cayenne - they're not going on my Cayenne. All Porsche rims obviously do - aftermarket - especially from a place called "California Rim Outlet" would seem unlikely to.

New F&R Rotors, Yellow EBC Pads, flushed lines & ATF

recently added KNN intake filters & with the EVOMs tune and Fabspeed - I am very impressed with its performance.

EVOMs tune has been excellent to me everything out of the box & treats this pig like its a properly fast vehicle weighing at 4941 Lbs

It breathes, performs, drives and stops better then OEM and I have complete confidence I will never have any ECU trouble running this tune.

GTS/Turbo bumper conversion and new wheels are next at some point in the future.

Picked up a Panamera Wood steering wheel today for a price I couldn't pass up not that i wanted to spend more money but I couldn't pass up install to follow with pics.

Can I pull the negative cable from my battery without dismantling my drivers seat?

Little trap door in the carpeting right in front of the seat - there is an acorn nut on a stud there holding down the main battery ground. Remove nut, pull the end of the cable off the stud, then put it in something like some rubber tubing to make sure it doesn't connect again by accident. I'm thinking the nut is 10mm wrench, but it might be bigger.

Nope. You may have to reset the limit stops on your windows. Your owners manual should explain how. Until you do, auto-up won't know where to stop so it's disabled.

They sound fantastic and add more “Pep” in the Cayenne - Gas was slightly improved I’ll agree with the other people who have stated that.

They are worth every penny IMO once you add the Evoms Tune - it’s a very nice Duo
