Mission E Wheels

I did not consider putting cheap Chinese knockoffs on my $100k vehicle.

Ouch! They do look very good but you do have a point on chinese knock offs, i wouldn't call them cheap at 3k, well compare to originals maybe.

They do look pretty nice. I think that the Mission Wheels from Porsche are 21"

Porsche does not seem to mind putting Chinese parts on/in their cars. Give the wheels a spin and report back to the group on how you like them. ??

You are right, they are 21 but I like to see some thread on top of my tires so I will stay with the 20s.

I know, right.

I haven't decided on ordering these yet... busy with ppf and ceramic coating for now. I will let you know if I decided to go with these.

I have to agree, some visible sidewall is very nice. The 21's are right on the edge, IMHO, and anything larger looks too ghetto for my taste. (Can you sense that I too opted for the 20's?)

If you do go for them I hope they turn out great! Not everything from [country X] is bad.

I actually like these better as they are the actual Mission E size. I’m considering buying a Taycan now (I’m one of the original Model S owners

and it’s time to change). I was thinking about buying the stock aero wheels for long trips, and running these for normal driving.

Keep us posted, curious to know about performance...i havent bought them yet.

Will do but it will be a while for me. Haven’t ordered the Taycan yet, and I hear their 6 months backlogged.

This plan is key for me though, as we go on long trips to family and this car will replace our last gas car.

I currently have a reservation in for a Lucid Air, but if I can make the Taycan work for range (300+miles Stock wheels) when we need it, I like it with the Mission E wheels better than the Lucid for regular driving.

I did check with the seller of these wheels about there certification status and load ratings. His response:

Certification By JWL VIA,load rating:850KG
Its very good quality by REAL CNC forged

So if this is true I feel much better about these wheels. He also has great ratings on past reviews including multiple people who have bought these Taycan rims.

Another interesting fact I investigated, 7.5 million OEM vehicles this year have wheels manufactured in China (including the C8 wheels). That’s over half the vehicles in the world.

Ask if the certification and load rating is stamped on the wheel. Also ask to see a copy of the certification.

Aftermarket wheels are fine - I only buy ones that are certified. E.g. TechArt wheels and parts are TUV approved and certified.

There's a difference between "parts made in China" and "Chinese knock-offs". The latter implies that it's cheaply made, uses poor grade materials, and only looks like the originals they are copying.
