how'd you calculate that offset? that's pretty low...
“Pushed” the extra 1” width inside by calculating the offset needed to match the outside position of the factory wheels.

Turns out, it may allow my HRE wheels to be used on the Turbo Electric - outside edge is ~1 cm wider than factory wheels (estimated).

The best looking wheels are actually the 21 inch painted in black. Looks sick with copper ruby exterior. My dealer has agreed to paint them when the car arrives

The UK uses miles.


As an aside, I never understand why people are obsessed with range on electric cars.
When you live in the western US, as I do and destinations hundreds of miles apart, range is a top priority.

Thanks for that! These where the ones I saw in some of the early test drive’s like 6 month’s ago or so , I thought they where the Audi Q8 ones of the v2 Q8, but now it’s clear they are the 21 ones painted black. That look gorgeous (though I still hesitate to order the carbon ones and paint those black except the carbon …), But they are ridiculous expensive, and get probably curbed in an instant …

True. I can't imagine it makes such a significant impact on range...But it is a factor i know. the Range difference between some of the 21's and 22's are negligeable...so it's either the design, and/or the weight.


I agree!! i love a 5 spoke wheel. Either those or the 22" Macan Sport Wheels. But browsing aftermarket wheels can become an addiction!!



ohhh nice. according to your data, if i can still get over 300 mi's on 21's with a 4S...i'd be happy
On a Macan 4 using the UK Configurator the range with 20in Macan S wheels is 369 miles. Change to the 21in Macan Design wheels the range drops to 349 miles. If you rarely do journeys that long and charge at home over night those 20 miles probably matter little. When you are frequently maxing out the range on your journeys or don't have a home charger then 20 miles are 20 mile.

Porsche wheel weights are tough to find - having a tire shop weigh them works well. The lightest ones I have seen are 29 lbs.

I had a set of forged, 13-spoke HRE wheels made for our ICE Macan Turbo (one inch wider than factory wheels with offset aligned with factory wheel outside positions) - all four weigh exactly 24 lbs. Am excited to see them on the Turbo Electric - they should be 10 mm further out than Turbo Electric wheels.
my information is that the ICE wheels do not fit

They do not because they have a different bolt pattern. The EV has 5-130 and the ICE has 5-112. All other different parameters could be adjusted with several ways and "tricks" however the bold pattern can't. At least that's what data says.

Just in case someone hasn't already came upon this very useful rim & tires calculator:
https://www.wheel-size.com/calc/?wheel1=235-55-20X7.5ET32

Even the approx. weights are included for the rim and the tire as well. However most likely the rim weight applied is for the OEM ones rather than the forged.

...For anyone looking for aftermarket wheels and not aware of this,the Porsche official load per wheel for the Macan EV must be at least 820 Kg.So,not every forged wheel out there which fits the car will be o.k. Must always ask for this information when searching for a wheel set,it's most crucial and not always available at first glance.
