Höri b. Bülach (Zurich), March 2nd, 2004 - Following on from its 20 inch rims for Audi and VW, Sportec, the well-known Swiss car modification company, adds a worldwide exclusive new product to its multi-award winning range of wheel rims. The Mono/10 lightweight 10 x 22" at only 14.8 kg is the lightest 22 inch wheel for Porsche Cayenne and VW Touareg luxury SUVs. It guarantees improved driveability thanks to lower unsprung mass. Just like the 20 inch wheel, it is manufactured using a special forging and milling process, making the new model extremely strong. The sporty 10-spoke rim fulfils the highest design demands and, in spite of its size, is extraordinarily elegant.

I've always like the Sportec wheels. Very nice. Although I wouldn't consider 36.2 pounds to be lightweight, it's a different ball game from 16 to 20 inch wheels.

IMHO, that's not half bad for a 22" wheel. I'd hate to see the pricetag tho...
edit: Okay, it's a cool $1,723.46 ea. The good news or the bad news? Optimists: The package will be relatively light for a 22" wheel. The bad news: it has to come from Europe and there are the obligatory taxes and duties and shipping fees. My guess is another $250 a wheel at a minimum.
