Road Force Wheels? RF15
 

All:

Newbie to the forums, and newbie to Porsche. Previous vehicles: Acura CL, VW Phaeton, MB C230, MB CLS500, MB GL450, Audi Q7, MB CL550, Jaguar XJL, Panamera 4 (no S, or GTS) :( And of course the basic cars that don't compare Infiniti G37, Nissan Sentra x2, Ford Escort (LOL).

I've only had the panny a few weeks. But it's already up there with my favorites. Of those favorites were the Phaeton, the CL550, and Jaguar XJL.

I hope the reliability holds up. It's a 2013. I swore off VW products after the Phaeton, then gave them another chance with the Q7 they again proved to me that they're problem vehicles but I couldn't resist the Panamera. So I'm hoping they'll prove me wrong on reliability.

The Phaeton and Q7 were plagued with electrical gremlins. That and issues I've never experience with any car. Always window switches, leaky sunroof due to drains on the Q7, mysterious battery drain. And the Phaeton, always some sort of "electrical module".

Anyway at least I managed to get a 2013 not the model year Panny with the engine metal bolt issue. That's scary!

So there's my newbie intro. I was wondering if anyone has anything to say about the Road Force RF15 wheels? Anyone running them on their car? I'm looking to go the 22" route. Never heard of Road Force wheels.

Welcome to the community! Congratulation on picking up your Panamera, that is a superb car and is one of our favorite Porsches to drive. In the event you are looking to pick up a new set of wheels for your car, take a look at our product thread here. It would be a pleasure to work with you and have a set of our wheels featured on your car! :)

Well no one responded, but I went ahead and picked up some 22" Road Force wheels, they definitely make the car look 10 times better. I've always hated 5 spoke.

The wheels look good, how do they ride? What tires are you running on them? I see you're in MD so I'm assuming these are only for the spring/summer/fall

Thanks, they're all season tires but plan to swap back to factory in the winter. I'm running:

265/30/22
295/25/22

Update
 

Update:

They're running great. A bit of road noise but I attribute that to the cheaper tires I'm running.

Hit some pretty harsh potholes that I'm sure would have bent my previous 3 piece wheels. Since these are one piece they held up well no bends to date. Most one piece wheels are stronger than 3 piece for reasons I won't go into.

Good news and glad that they are working out for you.

They look great! I'm moving from OEM 19s to aftermarket 20s...I'll post some before and after photos.

Update on your wheels
 

how are you? I was thinking of picking these wheels up for my new 2020 bmw 750i x drive m sport
how are the wheels holding up? Still in tact?

I can can speak for Signature Wheels, I have a set on my X5M and they are great quality and fit

I love them. They're holding up well. I got rid of the Panamera and replaced it with an S550 Coupe. Loved the wheels so much bought a set for the coupe too.

Update on RF15's
 

About to purchase these Road Force RF15 in gloss black, just wondering if you have any updates. I am new to these wheels myself.

I just saw you purchased them again, that's a good sign for these wheels.

Correct
 

You're right loved them so much out them on the S550 Coupe. They're affordable, strong and good looking.
