Finally Pics of the Techarts on my 06 CS
Hey guys, I finally had a chance to take some pics of my Pepper with the Techart wheels on it. I picked her up new in January and just got back from a cross-country road trip and now shes got 13k miles on the odometer :-( But the ride with the 22" Techarts and the Nitto 555's on the roadtrip was great. It is a little bit rougher in sport and normal modes w/ the PASM, but with the setting on Comfort on the highway its impossible to tell the difference between these wheels/tires and stock 19" wheels.
The wheels are (obviously) 22x10 Techart Formulas and tires are Nitto NT555 285/35/r22's. I also ended up getting a set of the Boothe No-Turn Porsche center caps. The centercaps turn so many head when driving downtown! I love it.!
Here is a close up shot of the wheels and you can see the Boothe No-Turn centercaps (I love these things).
A nice side profile showing off the wheels (I think I need the lowering module)
A nice "***" shot hahah.
Another side shot, different location. Notice all the centercaps are upright
A 3/4 profile shot. I definatly need the lowering module)
Well I hope you guys enjoy the pics. I am just glad the weather held out long enough for me to wash the Pepper and drive to a few spots to take some nice photos. About 15min after I got back home and pulled it into the garage the skies opened up with rain and thunder (gotta love that oregon weather.)

Those look fantastic! If I went aftermarket those would definitely be the wheels I would choose. Thanks for sharing!
You had me confused for a sec when you said they were 22" wheels on 20" tires, but I realized quickly it just must have been a typo. They are 22" correct?

LVDell- Yes, they are 22" tires as well.. it was a typo, but I fixed it.

Low level
This level is intended for high-speed driving. Above
speeds of around 78 mph (125 km/h), the car is
lowered by around 1 in or 27 mm compared to
normal level.
When the speed drops to below around 25 mph
(40 km/h), the car is automatically raised to normal
level.
Special low level
At extremely high speeds, for example when operated
on a race track, the car is lowered 0.4 in or
11 mm compared to the low level.
Sooooo...if you want to check out the lowered look either go to the track and wait until you see a Cayenne drive by, or hang around when a certain unnamed ex-Navy P-3 driver goes on another road trip.
