I have to agree that the X5M generally has a "meaner" appearance. However, I have tint and clear side markers installed. 21 inch D2Forged MB1 wheels coming in dark graphite, and steal skid plate for the front to install.

Should look really awesome.

I like the look of the new Cayenne but was going to make a comment that I didn't like the wheels. But the D2Forged MB1 will fix the problem. It will look fantastick with them.

This one looks great. Althought I think they are a little too big.

Everytime I see a Cayenne, either they look so blah and I don't like them at all...or they look like this one. This one is very nice. Wheels really do set off a vehicle. As cool as Porsche is, some of their wheels choices for this rig just completely ruin the whole look of it.

+1 Porsche never had a good tease on wheels, but they got some good brake instead

Jason, May I ask "how much for the wheels"? I really like them. And where are you getting them from?

I am getting mine from Vivid Racing. They are being made now.

Price was $7000 with TPMs, Tires, mounting/balancing and shipping.

Should shave about 20 lbs off the total vehicle weight with these wheels compared to stock, and will then use the stock wheels during winter.

The ones in the pic above, if I am not mistaken, are either 22 or 23 inch.

Thanks.

They are 23" in the picture. What size and width are you getting?

Tires are Pirelli PZero Rosso tires. TPMs included.

Yeah, I agree. The Turbo II wheels that are optional are pretty good. However, I think these MB1 forged 21 wheels will look good.
