Techno sport italian replica rims ?

[deniska]

Hi,

Does anyone have any information on these rims?

They run for ~$800-900 on ebay for a set of 20" and seem like a great deal, compared to porsche's original offerings.

The seller(s) says that they are high quality and confirm to European specifications (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/20-PORSCHE-CAYENNE-VOLKSWAGEN-VW-TOUAREG-WHEELS-RIMS_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ43960QQihZ018QQitemZ280201167664QQrdZ1QQsspagena

I read in another thread that the rim seems to be heavier than the original, which is not a show-stopper for me.

My biggest concern is safety - I want to make sure that this rim does not crack form heating and breaks in half when I go 100+ mph..

Can anyone share experiences or any other useful information about this rim?

Again, I am interested in 20" model, which hopefully fits my 2008 Cayenne..

I don't know about those specifically, however, I purchased 22" replica wheels of the same design from Discount Tire and have been very satisfied with them. I believe that they did offer them in 20" also around the price range that you mentioned so you may want to check their website. Just keep in mind that you still have to purchase the center caps from Porsche to finish off the look. My dealer charged around $180.00 for the set and they fit my wheels perfectly.
