btw: don't have too much of a prob cleaning... i spray 'em w/ cleaner, then i use one of those brush wands inside (behind the spokes) & mitt w/ soap. a lot of times i do my wheels twice a week b/c of break dust. those techarts look too easy to clean

By the way, that pic looks like it was taken in the showroom. Did you buy your Cayenne with those wheels installed?

The pic was taken in the showroom, I had all of my add on given to the dealer prior to the car arriving, they took before pics for me, but I didn't want to see it with all the stock stuff. So they added the rims, TT exhaust tips & bumper, silver hood crest, clear markers, K&N air filters, V1, and some other misc. items for me.

Amen on the potholes. Just dropped my dinged 22" TechArts for new powder coat to match alum trim. Also had the NT center caps repainted to match. . Sounds good in theory, but ???
Kevin, congrats on the nuptials.

Kevin: They weren't bent, but needed repair on the lips. I was going to send them to CEC in LA, but took them to Pacific Rims in Pittsburgh. Problem was Pacific Rim can only machine up to 20" but did repair the badly damaged one.
I have read many of the posts about vibration and tire wear, but haven't experienced any. The 22" ride is fine, I have 15M miles and the tires are still good, and alignment is ok with no vibration. I recall that you had a post last year (or so) that your Michelins were good. I concur. I figure the added risk of wheel damage on the 22s is worth the trade-off. The TechArts really do make the car look and handle better (IMHO).
For anyone contemplating a mod, Kevin M. is the gold standard!

Thanks for the kinds words My Michelins are still doing good with 19K miles on them, I'd say they have at least 8K more to go. If you do bend a rim, Eagle Dynamics here in Fresno did a great job on mine.

Wheelenhancement.com has 18" BBS RS-GTs for $2800 (about $400 cheaper than Tirerack). RS-GT has the weave and polished lip. Two piece forged and around 20lbs per wheel or 12lbs lighter than the Turbo wheel. Check them out.... BC
