Budget M3

I believe Alex's quote of 65lbs is for wheel AND tire combination. Considering the tire probably weighs at least as much as the wheel (if not a little more), I've been told the sporttechno wheels weigh about 29-31lbs for just the wheel.

You are lucky you have the adjustable suspension. Let us know how the ride is on the comfort setting...

I thought about that, but the hassle of changing wheels whenever I needed service was too inconvenient for me. Also, there is an ethics issue here (no insult is intended, we all have our opinions on how shifty car dealers and manufacturers can be--some can rationalize that turnabout can be fair play). My own ethics would not allow me to switch back to OEM wheels if it was my 22's that may have caused a problem in the first place.

Good luck with the Kahn's...no matter our opinions on the above issues, you will definitely have some of the sweetest looking wheels offered for a Cayenne

i have the khans in 20 cause of the roads in mtl...i love them and they look hot, i bought the porshe oem 5 star center caps and filed them down a bit to fit my wheels to have the same look as on the projectkhan.com website....looks supper hot, i was even considering going to 22's but the roads prevent it from happening....they look awesome, good luck

Yes youre right, i typed it incorrectly , it is 65lbs with tires...

Yes it will be a hassle. Yes it is unethical. However I do use a radar detector to speed, and I do plan on modifying my DME as well which also carries some ethical implications switching back and forth before service. "Deleted text........." They showed me a chipped car connected to PIWIS and even though it read as stock - it still showed that it was tampered with - no matter what any tuning company claims - the dealer's computer recognizes when the DME has been altered.

Now here is another ethical dilemma - "Deleted text....."

Passive deception - stil not right. But I will cross that bridge when and if the situation arises.

You are absolutely correct in your judgement and the way to handle these things. Simply stay within OEM specs and be honest.

BUT, I'll deviate from the truth just a little.

Kooser, in all serious-ness.. if we believe that PCNA does look at these boards from time to time.. your dealer should be nervous.. then it's just my opinion (you know subtle things like the one about 150 mph on public roads) that this is stuff probably best left unsaid (unwritten as it were). I'd hate for it to come back and bite you like the following always does:
"yes, honey, you look thinner in that",
"no, sugar, I don't think about sex every 10 minutes"
"yes, dear, I think it is okay to just cuddle"
"no, Peter, I didn't 'chip' my engine or put 'big *****' tires on my Cayenne..

Kahn wheels are pretty sweet looking!

Here's a pic of some 22" Kahns on a steel suspension car with springs

BTW, I've been trying to figure this out... are those 265/35-22's on there or 295/30-22????

They are certainly Continental UHP so they're not 285/35's... they ARE 265/35 or 295/30. I'm thinking they MAY be 265/35's... the Kahn wheels are 22 x 10 and the 265/35's have 10.7" sect width... the tread width is just under 9". Look at the 10" wide wheel and the tire almost looks stretched on the wheel... 265/35??



And does anyone know what size Toyo's are on AMG ETR's black CS?

Kooser

Thank you for posting the pics. My CTT is black as well and this gives me a great idea as to how the rims will appear on my truck.

I am supposed to call and approve of my order today. These suckers will cost $150.00 for shipping, but since I will save on the sales tax....oops, I wonder if the Illinois department of Taxation is also monitoring us as well....I meant to say that even with the sales tax and shipping it still will be a very fair price for the set-up.

Kooser

I was going over 150mph, well over!
But this was in a dream I had now that I think about it, yes a very realistic dream, but pure fantasy.

Point well taken though Madfox, point well taken.
Check out my previous "edit"

here's another view on the black CTT>>



and here:

Kooser

Didn't your Kahns come with Porsche center caps (not the five star ones but circular metal caps with a black Porsche crest)? GMP told me that these rims will come with the Porsche crest center caps.

Like these on the their web site....

I have the five star ones on my 18" rims, but I don't think I will take them to a lathe. Won't that affect how they would fit back onto the stock 18" after filing them?

charlieXS

if they don't come with the center caps, those are the same center caps from base v6 17" wheels, and are avail on eBay frequently for like $30 per set, lol! Yeah, don't ruin your star caps!

I think I REALLY like the Kahn's... now just wondering what size tires I should go for.

Budget M3

Kahn's do look great, especially in 22... for comparison, here are the 20-inch OZ's just installed today w/ 275/40's on my Pepper...

Budget M3

Another interesting point is that not only did handling and braking significantly improve with the 20's (as expected), but the ride quality is ALSO improved (totally NOT expected). I guess the OEM M&S tires (mine had Pirelli Scorpions) are pretty bad for ride quality...

tkerrmd

I really like the look. I paid "significantly" more for my 22" techArts. I run the michelins 295/30's on the second set and have had no problems, including track events.
At that price you cant go wrong.
