Cayenne wheels on a 928?
 
I know it's been discussed but I don't recall a definite answer if they are a bolt on replacement.

I've been watching this C/L ad. Started close to $1,000 and has been dropping every week. Down to $350 now and I'm thinking I can get them even cheaper than that.

*SET OF 4 NICE WHEELS W/TIRES* PORSCHE AUDI BMW FACTORY!!!

Seems like a good deal if those Potenzas really have 70% tread left. The wheels look sharp and I'm thinking these would be nice to swap out every so often for a different look.
Another concern would be the 205/50-17 on the front, yet they don't look all that narrow in the pictures?

Did you buy them? The posting has been deleted.

Unfortunately no. I was going to call tomorrow and see if he'd allow me to test fit them. The tires alone run over $250 each new and have great reviews.

Snooze ya lose.

I'll keep telling myself the wheels probably would have been too heavy for a 928. :)

The wheels are apparently pretty heavy, but they're also a good offset for the 928 (ET60 IIRC for Cayenne wheels).

MPDano 08-18-2012 07:43 AM

Yeah, the offset fits well, but you cannot use the tires as they will rub (too big). Xlot is correct, they weigh a lot since they need to be stronger coming from an SUV. They do look nice though.

Unless the offset is way off I don't think they'd rub? I used a comparison calculator and the front radius is within .1" of the factory stock tires and about 1" narrower. My 235/35-19s are within .3" of stock and of course much wider with no rubbing issues.

The rears were a 245 but I can't remember the profile. I think it was 45 which would also be within .2" of my 265/30-19.

I have Cayenne Wheels on my 87. They are not the same rims shown above, but they fit with no issues. Fronts are 225/40-18 and Rears are 265/35-18

Very nice looking. Appears Cayenne wheels are another direct fit choice for the 928.
Actually they look more at home on a car than an SUV which is probably why I rarely see a stock set of wheels on a Cayenne.

Dang, those look good....

George, a couple sets on CL this morning.

I'll add another that says they weigh a TON. You'd probably be better of going with Panamera wheels. Even the 17s I had on my wife's Cayenne when we owned it were heavy beasts.

Wow its amazing how different those wheels look on our cars. I wonder if they are cast. I believe the Panamera wheels are forged and lighter in weight than any wheel available for the Cayenne (Stock).
