Quick wheel purchase sanity check please?

Wheels (especially larger ones) are a safety item. I would want to know the source of the forging and machining processes prior to machining. The failure of a large wheel due to poor quality could be catastrophic.

The quality of the Rotiforms will be top notch.

I should have the wheels installed in a couple of weeks. The 22x10 are in the UK already and the 22x12 are on a plane from the US as I write.

I’m confident the Rotiform FRA wheels are top notch. After all, Rotiform are the technical partner and wheel supplier to the Ferrari factory race teams Rotiform Tecnical Partnership. The FRA wheel was also designed specifically around the Taycan.

I’m on the verge of buying a set of these 22” Rotiform FRA wheels for my Turbo S.

They aren’t cheap so I was hoping knowledgable members could advise on a couple of concerns I have before pressing GO!

I’m going for a staggered fitment so 22x10 fronts and 22x12 rears. I‘m guessing I’ll need 265/30R22 tyres for the front and 315/25R22 for the rear? It seems difficult to get both sizes from one tyre manufacturer so am I missing something?

I’m also concerned about tyre pressure monitoring. Should I / can I swap the TPMS sensors over from my current mission-e wheels to the new Rotiform ones or do people usually buy a second set of sensors and fit them?

Are there any other wheel swap gotchas I may have missed?

Grateful for any advice forthcoming!

Its aero drag is proportional to tyre width, so wider than the 21", as this is, will certainly reduce cruising range.

Granted. But I never go anywhere Frank. I spend more time staring at the car than driving it

Range isn’t a problem for me either, though I do a handful of long trips a year the battery lasts longer than my bladder.
