So, I've been a Fikse, HRE, BBS type wheel (often times 3-pc designs) guy for years and years and I'm now looking for wheels in the 21-22" range and I'm not nearly as knowledgeable in these brands. I'm aware of Vossen and ADV.1, but not so much the others. Anyone have any feedback or positive/negative impressions of these brands. Who is putting what on their Panamera in that diameter range? Pic below is a TSW design I like - concave spokes seem to look very good on the car to me - but they used to be known for heavy wheels. pic is example of what I'm looking for.
Also, who here has really calculated the optimum offset/rim width aspect for the Panamera body? I'm looking to fill the wheel wells with a meatier tire. I'm not a huge fan of the 'rubber band' look and I'd like to have room for a bit of shoulder and maybe extra diameter on the tire. Love the look of a nice wide tire in the rear. Even my current 951 wears 285s in the rears. Any help there or a thread to look at would be awesome.

No need to worry, if you're familiar with our brand already as you mention, we make 21" and 22" wheels all day long! Since we custom make our wheels to order, we can make them in essentially any size, any offset required, so we always get the perfect fitment every single time.

Is weight something that would make or break you ordering a wheel style that you like? Forged wheels will always be stronger and lighter but some styles are more performance oriented (minimal weight), and some wheels are more design oriented (weight takes a backseat). I've got some examples for you that I'd like to share, and don't worry about the colors, we have over 70+ to choose from so if some of these are too wild, don't worry, we've got all the classic colors that'll make your Panamera look excellent, and some wild ones that will really make yours even more eye-catching.
HRE P200's in Gloss Black (Design Oriented Wheel):
HRE P101's in Brushed Gold (Performance Oriented Wheel)
HRE P204 in Brushed Dark Clear (Design Oriented, though still light for it's size)
HRE RS200M in Brushed Titanium (Performance Oriented)
HRE S207H in Brushed Titanium (Design Oriented and obviously an aggressive set up with a wild color)
Of all the wheels we carry though, I would love to see the new 3-piece RS3 series on a Panamera. These wheels are just a couple from our latest series release (RS300, and the RS309)

Thanks.
Luckily for you we have 40 years experience in the industry. We also procure each vehicle we need a fitment for, 3D scan the wheel wells and suspension so that we can come up with a recommended fitment for the vehicle. If you've ever seen a set of HRE's in person then you know how great we are at making our fitments, we're the industry leader when it comes to custom made to order forged performance wheels as you well know so we're ready for you!
always been a fan of HRE and have owned several sets! currently focused on selling 3 of my current cars, but will be back looking for wheels as soon as things start to resolve themselves.
