Wheel insurance? My sales rep is encouraging me to buy”wheel insurance”; $2500 for three years. His reasoning is a Taycan wheel costs $3500+/-

Don’t know where you live, but where I live in New York, I’ve totally needed it. I spent about $2000 repairing the wheels on my wife’s Audi over two years.

Depends what it covers, but my dealer sells a more comprehensive package that includes wheel and tire insurance and covers nail punctures, flats, etc, as well as curb rash repair and road damage.

Porsche recommends replacement of all punctured tires (to maintain speed ratings of the tire, I think), so be prepared to replace fairly costly tires, especially the 21s and 20s.

I just made an appointment today to cash in on my wheel insurance for my 2017 Panamera 4S (so I can trade it in on my Taycan Turbo, which started production last week). I had a “wheel rash“ and want it repaired to get best trade-in.

Here in the Dallas/Fort Worth, TX area, we used the tire/wheel insurance plan on both of our Porsches enough over the last three years to pay the coverage twice over.... from nails to screws to an errant man hole cover that damaged the wheels on the one side as well - which were replaced new, not refinished. We will def get the wheel/tire coverage for our Taycan coming May/June.
