Default Wheels, choices, Pictures?

As I await my fabspeed cat bypass pipes to arrive (sloooowww) and my hitch to get mounted, I am exploring wheel options.

I like the design of my 18" Turbos, but that huge gap between the wheel well and the tire drives me nuts.

Yes, I have checked E-bay, found lots of cheesy wheels with a little too much bling for me.

Looking for ideas/pictures of what you guys may have done. Funny, how many 18" OEM wheels you see on ebay. I suppose I am not alone.

The circumference of the tire remains the same, so I think the gap will be the same.

Thanks for the link. I was hoping for some real-world pictures from guys that have done it. Oddly enough, I have yet to see many (if any) Cayennes with "other than" OEM wheels here in San Diego. It appears that many here just stick with what came with the vehicle.

Tkerrmd, those look nice. 20's or 22's? I hear that you begin to screw things up when you go larger than 20".

I am also not looking for the "all wheel, no tire" look. I think that works well for cars, not for SUV's.

ElmerJFudd,

Those are nice. I have a black/black one as well, and like the lip. More details (size, source, price, etc.)

Thanks

I got them through a buddy of mine who owns Stuttgart Performance in Costa Mesa. They are 22" CECs:

I got them w/ Yokos mounting and balancing for $4k. Not sure if I can get you the same deal but can try if you're interested. Send me a PM.
