Does anyone know the load rating for factory Cayenne wheels?

ltc

Owner's manual and/or door jamb sticker?

Onami

Thanks ltc...no wheel load rating, but the axle rating was there, so that's close enough.

I called the dealer to ask and they informed me that aftermarket wheels could affect my warranty coverage for suspension parts???

Get a new dealer! Big dealers I know in Florida and the upper midwest sell after market wheels, including on brand new Porsches on the showroom floor.

Wrong.

It is possible that aftermarket wheels could affect your warranty, at least as applies to the components that wheels could affect, like wheel bearings. And it is not a matter of "the dealer".

If you have a dealer that says "put anything on there...go ahead", don't be shocked if the sh*t hits the fan and your best buddy isn't involved in the negotiations. This would be true of any manufacturer.

All this theory aside, there are so few wheels available in the 5-130mm pattern that I would bet this is a moot point.

Sport Technos are a factory wheel... Wasn't that the original question?

Onami

Yes Dennis, I wanted to know what the load rating was for the 20" OEM wheels to compare to the 20" OZ wheels that I was going to purchase. The Cayenne is a lease, so I don't want to mess with anything that could hurt me when turing it in...I'll just pick up a set of Sport Technos. Thanks again everyone!

There are "replica" Sport Technos. I think Wheel Enhancement sells them in 20" too in adition to the factory sizes.

Your dealer is correct, as a change in offset and/or weight from the OEM designed parts is grounds for warranty claim refusal from PCNA.
Now, if a selling dealer wishes to assume liability for said modifications, they of course can.

Also, this also applies to installing "Euro" spec OEM PAG parts on a "US" spec vehicle.
For example, installing a Euro spec OEM suspension kit (X73) on a US spec built car (I said car, not pig) is not covered under warranty, as it is a change in the 'as built' spec of the vehicle.
