Wheels... widths, offsets, etc...
Ok so my CD could really use a new set of wheels It's got 18's on it now ("Cayenne S 18" wheels") but they just look small and help the whole car look nerdy.
CD is silver, has the "gloss black trim package" - I want dark/black wheels. Car goes in to have front windows tinted next Friday, and I'll be swapping/plasti-dipping the emblems black.
Searching online... Tire Rack, Discount Tire, eBay, etc... finding some decent options BUT they're all wider + minimal offset changes.
From my research, the stock wheels are 8x18 with ET53 offset. Most everything I'm finding (that I kinda like the look of) is 9.5" or 10" wide, and ET50 or ET48 offset.
Concerned this is gonna look like the wheels are "sticking out" given I'd be adding 1.5-2" of width but only changing the offset 3mm.
Of course I could solve this by buying OE wheels (ideally I want gloss black RS Spyders) but the $$$$$$$ is steep. I can do a set of RS Spyder "look" wheels for less than half the cost, and have enough left over to swap to the carbon fiber steering wheel and interior trim package.
Anybody out there running non-OE 20" wheels on their Cayenne? What's the wheel size and offset? Anybody got a pic of a Cayenne with 10" wide rims and ET50 offset? Does it look stupid? (Hell can you even fit a 10" wheel at all 4 corners?)

I am running aftermarket 21" on mine - they do not stick out - they fit pretty much flush as can be.
They are 21" x 10" -- offsets are slightly different front and rear, but not much at all maybe 2mm - i will have to find the exact offsets

Thanks guys!
They are Brixton Forged wheels - they also did the wheels on my 911 Turbo they have a lot of cool options. I've been a big fan for awhile.

I'm marking this thread as NSFW - There's some car **** in here!!
I know the current trend is for the spokes to go all the way to the edge of the wheel (concave spokes), but there's still something about a lip on the wheel that looks so damn good...
