How much concern is there to be had for lightweight forged rims on a 5000LBS SUV? I could see the need for the RUF rims on a GT2 or GT3
The only thing these RUF wheels have going for them on the Cayenne is the width. Nobody would be able to tell these apart from stock rims if the rims were 18".

I'm a huge porshe fan but I'll take a set of HRE's over RUF rims on a cayenne any day of the week. I'm pretty sure 95% would agree.
I agree RUF wheels are heavy....made for autobahn cruising vs race track....RUF wheels look boring.....but imo they are a timeless design that works so wheel on 911s, the wheels looks oem. For those who want to be subtle when modding his porsche, RUF is the way to go...but if you want to be flashy, HRE or Iforged is the way to go....
