Help choosing my wheels
Hey Guys,
I need your help getting ready to buy my wheels.
I'm kinda torn between these 3 wheels, Please give me your opinion, these wheels are in the $400/piece price range, aside from LUFF which is only $1300/set. thanks for the input. Luff needs spacers the other 2 dont, the cup gt fits the porsche crest.

Hey Trozen, 05 S, Jarama Beige...thanks
John, I was thinking about that also, www.luffwheels.com, made in China though 20X10.5 may stick out to much needs spacers, does your gemballa have spacers?

well...i have to say i spent months looking for wheels for my cayenne....could not find anything i realy liked....ended up with kahn wheels and I am very satisfied with the way they look...i wanted 22 but with the roads here in montreal i had to stick with 20's....put eibach springs to lower the car.....i have to say the wheels are ok.....i think there are some betters one out there....would go with the AT italias out of your selection and would get porsche center caps for them....good luck...sorry if i confused you...but just my opinion....TR

alex,...yes i am using spacers,but only because i had to.you may not need to,depends on the type of wheel.
wheels do stick out a bit..so i just got fitted the factory wheel arch extensions,color coded in black.looks better,wheels dont stick out any more.

Thanks Guys,
Jaro - I also have Sport technos in mind in case i cant make a decision on these aftermarket.
John, from your pics on hobbystage, you dont have the arch yet right? looks pretty good to me
I wonder if the Porsche crest fits on the AT if I remove the cap. here's alink from Damon at tirerack of the AT without the cap if the porsche crest fits i'll get it

Trozen - kinda leaning on that too, there's a guy who has the black AT, painted the crest black then stick the porsche crest on it, very good idea.

there are many places to get the porsche crests to fit for sure...easiest bet is to measure the at italias....i bet your local porsche dealer will have something to fit...i did the same thing...they had abot 5 different sizes...if not look in porsche excellence...there are 2 places...if you cannot find it let me know i will pull mine out....TR

yeah but let's remember that not all wheels are really ok to handle the weigh of the cayenne. that is why I would ony go with known brand or OEM. Plenty will fit but wil not hanlde the weight and might be deemed as unsafe.
