I recently purchased a new 2013 Cayenne S black/black. I am new to Porsche and have a bunch of questions. Any help will be genuinely appreciated!

1. Looking for new rims - I like the Turbo II wheels but the dealer told me they would be $6,000.00. I looked elsewhere online but the other places seemed shady.

2. Any performance upgrades that aren't much of a hassle - i.e, nothing that will void my warranty or anything like that. Not looking for much... maybe 50hp?

3. I had an aftermarket auto starter on my previous car - can I put it on my new car without them voiding my warranty?

4. I kinda want to black out my car: windows, lights, rims, etc. Any places or sites I should check out?

5. I drive a lot so the original warranty isn't going to last me long. Any good companies I can purchase an extended warranty from? I would be looking for 100,000 miles (or more if possible).

I live close to New York City.

Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

 

1: they are expensive, the best time to buy is when you order the SUV! My porsche dealer thought I should order mine with the standard rim and buy a second set of tires in a knock off turbo 2 wheel that looks identical and come in 22's. I could have had two sets of wheels and tires for less than the cost of upgrading to turbo 2 wheels alone. I ordered my turbo 2's when I ordered my GTS.

2: I don't know about the S. I think the turbo had a performance kit for 20K.

5: I had a couple friends get screwed on extended warranties. I would be scared of aftermarket warranty.

 

I have a set of turbo II wheels on my Panamera and just bought a knockoff set to use for winter tires. The reproductions were dirt cheap - less than $800 for the set. To the casual observer, they look nearly identical. If you compare them side-by-side, however, the finish quality of the reps is vastly inferior to the oem wheel. I've only had them a week, so their performance and longevity remains to be seen.

 

Not sure where you would go up there in NY but we have a local tire shop here www.butlertire.com that has the 20"and 22" turbo II knock off wheels. Quit a few of my clients have purchased these and are very happy. A full set of rims and tires are around $3,000.
