2 Questions, Snow Wheels/Tires
#1 - Do they make a nice cheap black steel wheel that will fit a Cayenne S?
#1b - Who sells it?
#2 - Tire rack shows two sizes for the Cayenne S, one is a 235 and the other is a 255, clearly the 235 would be better in the snow, right?

I bought a 2nd set of CS 18" wheels from wheel enhancement. This way I can swap back and forth between summer / winder if I needed to.
I have the 255's and the new Blizzaks DM-v1, so far they are great in the snow, but so-so in the dry - a little squirmy because of the deep tread and soft compound. I had the scorpions before and had much better dry handling but I didn't like them in the snow.

I've got Scorpions now, and will probably go the season with them. All is great 'til you hit the brakes. I want to look around for a second set for winter only use.

I have never seen steel wheels for the Cayenne. But there's a dealer selling OEM 18" wheels with mounted winter tires for $1000 bucks. The ad is in Excellence magazine.
