Their are alot of West Coast guys on these boards that are pro "put the biggest wheels that fit." These are also the slam the damn thing until you scrape your front lip going into supermarket parking lot. I say go 19's. You just might want to stick to a 1-piece wheel with spokes that extend to the outter lip. This will help the wheels look alot bigger than a 2 or 3 piece in the same diameter. I have tried it all and Philly roads just suck too bad to go crazy on a car you drive daily (key word daily).

It costs the same so you may as well have both the lip and the center re-chromed. FYI there are alot of Cayennes here with 22's. Most of the guys go with the painted wheels. It's hot but it will be dated in a year or two, just like the 745. Just my two, but the Range Rover LR3 is going to carry more heat than the Cayenne this year.

p.s. i've decided to pass up on the offer but if anyone needs chrome 19" lowenhart ld1 rims and nitto nt555 tires for $1100 I can tell you who to contact.
p.p.s. believe it or not I'm taking a liking to the porsche cayenne. i was thinking of maybe getting a black one with chrome 22's since I hate having an outdated car and the 221 would be more than what I want to spend. I photoshopped a pic of what rim I'd like for the truck...
