! DO NOT BUY CARLY ! First of all, this is NOT a one-time purchase, it is a yearly subscription. Secondly, as soon as you pay them any fees (or you get charged by them) and try to ask for a refund - they will decline and just steal your money. Even if you purchase and file a cancellation request within hours (in my case literally less than 24 hours) after the purchase, they will disregard your request and tell you it's non-refundable.

Missed opportunity to do a collab with Alex (and Taylor), but it was awesome of him to reach out. That's a collab I'd love to see in future and I'm sure everyone else would agree!
A specific brand and model of tyres also make a huge difference with the same size. Like a cheap tyre vs a Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. Awesome handling but also cushioned over bumps. I recommend for people daily drivers. Keeps you on the road + you can trust your car will stop. The people who switched over can't stop talking about the difference. So a good point
They look familiar 👀 The 18’s are unequivocally the best choice for a cayenne on springs. They look classier and improve the ride quality at the cost of dynamic edge. The gorgeous 20’ Sport Techno’s are the way forward when air suspension is present though!
Why would you diminish the benefits of the air suspension by putting giant wheels on? I just don't understand. It's still a wardrobe on wheels, youre not getting sporty experience with it..
@@rostislavandrlik9704I have a turbo with sport technos for summer, and some super light bbs 19s for winter. It's a bit like a boat when on 19s compared to 20s. But it's bloody nice when it's snowing. You can also take some air out of the wheels when you need it, and refill with the o board compressor.
It looks ugly tho! 😅 No, not ugly, but, perhaps… older? Plus, less sporty. Despite, agreed! Completely transforms the ride, Jo! But it’s much more about tyres… the sidewall on both are practically identical. I don’t really like gangster wheels, but I do believe that in this generation of Cayenne, those bigger wheels were quite a “match”.
This is what I talk about all the time. We have gotten so used to running SUV’s on obnoxiously big wheels these days, when the only best option is to have as much rubber as possible (meaning as little alloy as possible).
Noooo dude, come on, get yourself a decent jack and change the wheels yourself. Talk about simple job. Also gives you a sense of achievement doing work on your own car as you know with the volvo
I think you'd find that the improvement in ride quality is more thanks to the softer side walls of the 18 inch tyres rather than their smaller size. There actually isn't much difference in the profile height between the 2 because in fact, the 20s are 40% of the width of the tyre i.e. of 275 and the 18s are 55% of 255. The 20s being Michelin Pilot Sport tyres, are much stiffer hence you lost the steering sharpness when you swapped them out.
I'm about 80% done with a Eurowise Overland update on my 2012 Audi Q7 Tdi. Lifted 3 inches, on 18" wheels and 33" tires. These Diesels, get about 22-24 mpg. Not sure they let you make those kinds of upgrades in the UK, but it sure makes it look mean, if perhaps Americanized ?
I had a 955 circa 8 years ago which had 22's on it but also came with the original 19's. When I put the 19's on it drove sooo much better. Just like you have experienced.
I wouldn't trust Kwikfit to change their own pants, let alone touch my car. You really need to look into getting a unit to do things yourself like other RUclipsrs. When you rented that space for the XC90 it was great watching you learn.
Old Land Rover tip Re the throttle. Press the outside of your right foot against the side panel of the footwell. Use the friction between your shoe and the side to help control the pedal movement.
A nice set of wheels 🛞 I bought the same set for myn lol 😂 as I prefer the 18” look 👀 rather than the gangster 20” look, I’m going for more of a off road look on myn.
I've got 18s on my 957 they are not pretty but will not change as they make the rude quality so much better. Get michelin latitude tyres they are phenomenal
Got the same model but opted to take the 18s off it and put on 285/35/22 Rides a bit bumpier but handles much sportier and looks bloody awesome p.s. The roads are much better here
I agree, the smaller wheels do suit it better, fits with the 4x4ness. If those tyres are getting on in age, you'll probably find a nice fresh set give an even more compliant ride.
I have 19", and the ride is rubbish, but thinking I still have work to do on the air suspension, I have fewer choices of tyres when using 19". In summer, I'll get 18-inch ones and some new wheels thinking of dirty gold to contrast the deep green. Or maybe black!
i just watched yt channel redriven and the mechanic there says according to his research/experience the vr6 engine you have is the best engine of pre 2015 cayennes. the 3L diesel is a nightmare, also in audi, vw, skoda...
Could you have fitted tyres onto the 20inch wheels with a higher sidewall? Low profile tyres are not suitable for English roads. Hit a pothole wrong and they burst. You might find a bit more pressure helps the responsiveness.
Changing your own wheels on a Cayenne is about the simplest job it will offer you…. You’ll hate the roof gas struts! Tip… be very very careful with the near side ones. The rear screen wash tubing goes through there and it is FRAGILE at this age. Ask me how I know 😅😅. Glad the 18’s have given you the ride you want. 😊
Hey Joel, we watch all of your videos from Australia. Good content! What happened to the Jag? Did you sell it? I don't like the Cayenne - has to be a real Porsche, the ones with two doors :)
This lad used to chop off V12's, and bomb around in a straight piped Z4. Now he's fitting SMALLER wheels and pootling around like a grandpa. What's happened bey 🤣 I miss mad Joel hunting for the baddest sounding cars you can get on a shoe string.
@@Sawubona2007 I dont think it is, certainly the VR6 isnt effected by the killer/writeoff v8 issue; Bore scoring, to the same degree... Thats got to be taken into consideration.
Why would you not just swap the wheels over yourself? Or is this a sponsorship thing with Kwik Fit? Edit: ok you did answer the question in the video eventually - prefer to pay someone else to do it - fair enough I guess!
For me the 20s look better on the car, but the 18s seem more practical. I wonder if you put fit tyres on those 18s, like 255/60/r18 for instance to fill up those wheel arches?
Taking a wheel of a rim is a very specialist job. Not something you can do at home. TO be fair if you have a tame gorilla they have been known to do it. They can turn a steel rim tyre inside out. Not that helpful but if he could be trained.... I guess not. I guess we have to leave it to the experts... Luv and Peace.

Looks awsome Joel its great to see Alex helping out with this one, hope to see the XC90 sorted out soon👍
You've convinced me, I've just bought a 2006 Cayenne S which I pick up on Sunday. Insurance is £370. Hope I'm as lucky as you with it 😀
You are definitely the only person that has got out of Kwlk Fit , only spending £32 😂😂😂😂❤❤
Did you get them re-balanced ? If not , why didn't you just change them over yourself and save £32 ??
Kwik fit 😂😂😂 total idiots
Kwik fit techs have only slept with a proper tech😂😂
I just bought the same pair of 18" for my cayenne yesterday! painting them matt black then putting 265/65/r18 on them for an overlander feel.
Once uni is finished, I intend to do similar, but not just feel the overland but hit it up through my 2004 Cyanenne TT. still needs lots of work.

Noooo dude, come on, get yourself a decent jack and change the wheels yourself. Talk about simple job. Also gives you a sense of achievement doing work on your own car as you know with the volvo
Nice wheel and tyre change Joel. Personally I would have changed them myself. I have a sloping driveway but it’s easy enough to do.

Need to man up changing wheels aint that hard
You made the right decision fella,for an intact spine 18” on a non air Cayenne is a must 👍😉💪
Oooohhh, that 90's pop intro made me feel comfy instantly, I vote more of this!

Loving the cayenne content dude!
Hey jo...i have 20s on mine but with 255/55/20 accelera tyres..just magic all around.
Back seats down..camping in the back 😎⛺🍺 sweet
I've got 18s on my 957 they are not pretty but will not change as they make the rude quality so much better. Get michelin latitude tyres they are phenomenal
Has the change in rolling radius affected the accuracy of your speedometer?
If you work out the relative sizes of the two tyres, there's only a 1% change.
That's the best value anyone ever had from Kwikfit! Good work 🎉😊
Looking forward to future videos on the Cayenne.
Got the same model but opted to take the 18s off it and put on 285/35/22

Looks good joel 👌 look forward to the follow ups 👍
Nice work Joel. They look they belong on the motor.
Ideal candidate for 19” summer wheels and 18” winter wheels! Best of both worlds! (Assuming they do a 19” OEM wheel for these)
Those rims took this from a 7 to a 10!!
I like these, cracking value. I'd go full Rothmans Paris Dakar look inc spotlight strip on the front from Tuthill's Porsche 👌
For £32 your a third of the way of buying a half decent trolley jack. Dont understand it, takes less than half hour.
Do you really think this dude enjoys wrenching on cars, even easy stuff, himself?
Enjoying the Cayenne content, but would like to see an update on the S-type before it turns into a puddle of rust!
18's really are the best fit for a coil spring Cayenne, I've got air suspension and 20s on mine and it rides well.
do you feel every single bump in the road? on mine it feels like I am rock-crawling even it I ride over a penny
@@Percy2010ificationmine glides, it has a beautiful ride on the way to garage to get its latest repair.
Must borrow that book of excuses. Man up or get a bus pass.
Love the cayenne Joel, remember when you tire of it sell it to me!!!!!!!!
Living vicariously through you at the min. I couldn’t risk getting an old model and only a new model with the lottery money I might win.
I have a vw touareg r line and thinking of going from 20s to 18s
Another excellent and interesting video mate
i just watched yt channel redriven and the mechanic there says according to his research/experience the vr6 engine you have is the best engine of pre 2015 cayennes. the 3L diesel is a nightmare, also in audi, vw, skoda...

Hey Joel, thought you wanted to get more handy? Would have taken less time to swap the wheels yourself than take to someone to do for you..
oh no, im scared for what you have planned for this nice porsche !! have it fully detailed instaed Joel it will look great then.
18's look great on the car.
Does carly work with mercedes models W211 W203 era?
Can’t wait to see more hoping for full tank challenge
Looks better with smaller wheels and wider tyres, and it sounds like it rides much better too =D
i went from 16 inch rims (205/55/16 tyres) on my focus to 19's (running 235/35/19's) and the difference hasn't really been noticeable at all

Hey Joel, we watch all of your videos from Australia. Good content! What happened to the Jag? Did you sell it? I don't like the Cayenne - has to be a real Porsche, the ones with two doors :)
You get the same effect with the 20 inches whels when you use 60 or 65 tyres
12:40, is that a crack in the disc?
Its percentage from the first figure that gives you the wall size...not just the percentage
Great that RUclipsrs help each other out.
Kwik Fit?😱
I suppose it depends on where, but I’ve never had a good experience!
Great video thanks.
Sad state of affairs when a grown man has to pay someone else to swap wheels over.
Its the way of the world these day.... And I think it mostly always was for those that were a bit more affluent, wasnt it?
Knew it would
It looks like to nicked a set of wheels off a Matchbox toy!😂 enjoyed the video though, well done.
With a bit of luck the boot struts will do the rest of the world a favour.
Looks like I am the first one to jump this video 😊
thanks for being here!
lol 😂 I was trying to find a comment
18" makes this look like a bus
Have some faith in yourself go buy a trolley jack! Looks way better with the 20’s but you don’t have to look at it when your sat inside relaxed!
Turbo kits are pretty cheap for a vr6...
This lad used to chop off V12's, and bomb around in a straight piped Z4. Now he's fitting SMALLER wheels and pootling around like a grandpa. What's happened bey 🤣 I miss mad Joel hunting for the baddest sounding cars you can get on a shoe string.
Petrol consumption will go up
Tyres. Get them right you enjoy the drive. Get them wrong you will begin to hate your car.
What have you done!!!🤮🤮🤮
Lemme guess. New dampers, tires, vacuum lines and a new drive belt?
If I'm wrong, you're doing it wrong.
Who knew 20 inches could be uncomfortable?
lowkey you bought the worst but the most reliable engine in the car, hahah
Turbo is the most reliable.

Nice one Joel. Only a chump puts big wheels on an SUV. Completely negates the purpose of the beast.
Super flat tyres on large rims are a design/marketing gig. Useless and only for design. Look at Formula 1 tyres!!! 😁
For me the 20s look better on the car, but the 18s seem more practical. I wonder if you put fit tyres on those 18s, like 255/60/r18 for instance to fill up those wheel arches?

Carly cost way to much for a obd2 scanner, buy only if you have Bmw
a new engine
not air suspension and the v6 🙄🙄🙄
Put more air into the tyres, that will sharpen up your steering
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Nah you have made the car look so old now... it just looks much worse now
