Well, let him decide that, not you. If he chooses, he can disregard my comment.
This is a discussion forum. The point is to share viewpoints and opinions. What I and others have done is share our opinions.
In any event, as he said he is already planning on buying wheels:

So how is it that you have a right to express an opinion contrary to his opinion here:

But I and others are not allowed to agree with the opinion that he posted about his car? We get it, you think every car should have 15" wheels and 65 series tires...but not every vehicle is bought so that it will ride as smooth as possible.

OK, fine...I'll drop it. Besides, I haven't reviewed a Cayenne (yet)........so I'm not really up on how smooth or rough it rides in the first place. But it has a reputation as a classic Drivers' SUV. And I see quite a few of them around here, despite its rather high price.
Went to a Porsche Club of America tech seminar yesterday. The tech that spoke said they rarely have any issues with 2010 & newer Cayenne's. Also said don't buy a 2003-2004.

The early Cayennes were done on the VW Touraeg platform (though the Cayenne was far more sport-oriented than the more conservative, off-road-oriented Touraeg. And the early Touraegs, unfortunately, turned out to be quite unreliable by the standards of the time. That's (probably) what the techs were refering to.

good to know - I am absolutely loving mine so far! the driving dynamic of this car is unlike any other SUV I have driven.

Yes, you forget it's a SUV. Speaking of that if you go to 20"+ wheels & tires ($$$) you should upgrade the brakes to stop the increased unsprung weight.

In reality he'll be fine without upgrading the brakes. I would anyways simply because the stock V6 brakes would look small inside those wheels.
Reality is you never know when the lost braking power will be critical.
He'll be fine. And don't forget you get 20" turbo wheels from the factory on these if you ordered it as such. No brake upgrade included unless you asked for carbon ceramics.
