It looks like a £70k demonstrator. What a buy that is, time to get it mapped

Congrats! Glad you like your car - looks lovely mate. I picked mine up yesterday.. the 4.2l engine is a noticeable power upgrade my 3.0v6d

20k mikes in my v8 D now. Stonking piece of kit and I love it. I’m after a set of those wheels too lol.

Let me know if you come across a couple of sets!

Hey Fokker, there is a set of these on ebay! The seller started off at £2500 and now has them at £1850 buy it now, or make offer. They look great on the car - very happy with them.

Thanks Phooey, I'll have a look now. Ive just had my 21" multi -spoke (you know the ones) reconditioned.

I'm thinking to buy some more and add some winter tyres on the new set of wheels.
Can you get Winters in 21" sizing?

[Fokker]

Can anyone recommend what winter tyres for these 21" wheels?

Im looking at Yoko Advan V905 at £209 each at the moment or Conti winter contacts at about £230 each.
Michelin Alpins at £260.

Any thoughts?

I found the Pirelli Scorpion Verdes the best tyres for my Cayenne for all year round use in all weathers. They are N spec All season tyres which seem to wear much better than all the N spec OEM Summer tyres i've tried.

[Fokker]

Good to know cheers John.

And thanks Phooey, I’ve just bought this sport classic wheels on eBay. Much appreciated.

Looks like all season tyres are very limited. Can’t find much in a 295/35/21 let alone an N rated tyre. I don’t think they do the Verde in a 21”. Will have to go for winters so looking at Conti Winter Contacts as they have good reviews.

Congrats Fokker! I’ve just looked at my emails and eBay have sent me a sorry the item has sold email - that must be you matey! I had them on my watch list until my OPC could confirm they could get me some in exchange for my turbo wheels. You have got them for a bargain price. What colour car they going on?

eta - with regards to Winters, on the Cayenne I believe 20” is the most popular. The OPC I use had a couple of sets of RS Spyder (I think that’s what they are called - Cayenne GTS style) that they used to fit to their 9A2 Cayenne’s in Winter. I actually thought of buying a spare set of these but love the Sport Classic wheel too much
