I love my 2018 Macan PP but the only tiny complaint I have is ride quality, especially on speed bumps around the city; and noise levels. Car is on 21” wheels.
I have now spent 24hrs in a courtesy Macan S on 19” wheels and - no surprise I guess - ride quality is much better.

Is it an option at all to put my Macan Turbo on 19” wheels, and how to go about it (order those from the OPC? Second hand? etc).
The car is on extended warranty and I was planning to extend again when it expires.

There are plenty of sets of smaller wheels for sale on eBay, usually with winter tyres. Lots are very sensibly priced. The side walls will be bigger to end up with the same rolling circumference. Just make sure the brakes have enough clearance.

Has your Turbo PP got the Air PASM ? We've got one and do have the 21's and also have a set of 19" winter wheels. We're obviously all different but I think it rides very well on the 21's....yes it is not a RR but it's bloody good for what is a driver focused 2 tonne 4x4.

Yes it has the Air PASM. I’d describe the ride as Ok and certainly better than other cars on low profile tyres I’ve driven; but IMO the difference between 19” and 21” is night and day. There are very very many speed bumps where I live and even at or slightly below the 20mph limit, it’s an unpleasant experience driving over those.

Great to know though that 19” can be used on these cars.
