I have searched a long time for wheels on a cayenne.

None are that cheap , nothing is really cheap in the Porsche world .


My mud wheels and tires cost me over 4K usd.

I just bought winter wheels , the cheapest that look decent were the Sparcos and those still cost 300usd a wheel .

I don’t like adapters but you may find cheaper wheels if you run adapters.
Thanks for the reply..

Yeah, I'm having a real challenge trying to find what I want. I'm intentionally going for a clean 'basic' look. And I thought that was going to be much simpler (and way less expensive). But availability looks next to zero....unless you spend over $400 (Cdn - per wheel). That's crazy!!
I'll likely end up getting something a bit more 'stylized'....as the options for those are more readily available, and less expensive. And I didn't want this to be totally about $$. I wanted a specific look. But not at close to 2k - once you factor in exchange, and shipping!

Have you looked up wheels for a Touareg and a Q7?

Haha....well, I can assure you that being Canadian is the toughest 'Tax' of them all..

Availability is often a challenge, as most things are out of the US. And we may as well be on Mars, when it comes to shipping on most things. I bought a roof rack for my Cayman this past Spring. Exchange and shipping....ouch!! Then I got dinged with an 'Import Fee', through the shipping company (UPS).. DOUBLE ouch!!.... Free-Trade, my ***!!. With exchange, shipping, and the import charge....I paid nearly double what the original price showed!

@Jupiterfish

Sorry for the totally off-topic comment, but by chance were you on other car forums with this username handle?

I just picked up a gen 2 cayenne diesel in the process of doing an overland build (so I just joined this forum and saw this thread), but the name jupiterfish is super familiar.

perhaps an IS300, or a bmw e85/e86?

Nice rig man, would love to pick your brain on what bits you have for the solar to BCDC unit, and where you keep your other battery. AGM secondary runs the fridge right, 24/7? How big is it, 55L?
