There you go, thats more like it . Now sign those papers and stay away from this forum, cause you’ll be tempted to add stuff
Looks good but if you really still hanker after those 21" wheels here are some small changes it does add £341 to your budget but IMHO looks cooler http://www.porsche-code.com/PKXDNGE8

...no....you can soon buy some bigger wheels at a later date, but you can’t retro fit the seats.

+1. I guess I'll never understand the mentality of compromising a car like this for bling. Same applies to the Macan.

+1, on the proviso that you've tried the 8-way seats on a reasonably lengthy test drive and find them comfortable.
Some may call it 'bling' but many of us buy cars with 'larger' wheels, as they make a massive difference to the look of your pride and joy.
If you spec the smaller wheels, there's a chance you'll have pangs of regret every time you see a Cayenne sporting the 21" wheels, and you could end up spending a very large sum on upgrading the wheels at a later date.
All assuming that you find the 8-way seats perfectly comfortable of course.

Exactly. I have made this mistake once, and never again! I ordered my BMW X5 with the standard 18inch wheels to stay in budget. Was annoyed for the three years of ownership every time I saw my car! And I wasnt about to fork over 5000 euro for the bigger set upgrading afterwards...Wing Commander wrote: ↑Thu Feb 08, 2018 6:25 pm

For most of us, when we buy a car model, its in a big part because we find it beautifull, so why would you not take wheels you like too?! You upgrade for a colour you like etc too no? Now, if there is a wheel that happens to be smaller that takes your facy, than thats perfect . But dont listen to people saying its bling thats just stupid... its all bling... Hell, its a Porsche SUV!!
And there is nothing wrong with that

I’m all for big wheels if they can also provide a comfortable ride for when the family are in the back. I personally like a firm ride but they don’t. Only other consideration for me is living in London, virtually all parking is on the street by kerbs and 21” wheels can be quite unforgiving, but that’s probably just down to my parking!

Bling = expensive & ostentatious, originally referring to clothing & jewellery.
So as Tom implies above, perhaps most of us Porsche buyers could be accused of falling for the 'bling'.
