Somehow I start seeing Cayenne equipped with 997 turbo rims, can anyone please confirm if these are really 997 turbo rims or just some aftermarket knockoff?

Here's some photos:





Thanks

I don't know the offsets of the 997 turbo wheels, but I can't imagine they would work on a Cayenne. Also, these look like they are 20-inches or bigger, which wasn't ever offered by Porsche in that style.

My vote is cheap Chinese knock-off.

Knock off vote here too ...

Also the seemingly "off-brand" tires (hard to make out on photo), and poorly matching centre caps are a clue.

Yea, and rims are built for the cars taking into account the weight of the car and the stresses expected to be imposed with a safety buffer built-in. With the Cayenne being almost twice the weight of a 997 I would want to put 997 wheels on a Cayenne even if they fitted, and if there Chinese Knock-offs then they are probably even weaker for the weight of the Cayenne.

Thanks all for the info!

On a separate note, does anyone know what 'aftermarket' maker makes these rims and any way to identify the authentic 997 turbo rims?

Btw nice mod on your clean 911, hahnmgh63!

Not endorsing them, I'd be afraid to try them on my Cayenne

Dang... I cannot tell any difference at all...
