Everyone should keep in mind that the color of the wheels can be changed relatively inexpensively by dipping or powder-coating. To me, it would not be worth purchasing larger wheels just to get a black/grey option.

20s are all but confirmed, as they were not only on the alphas, but those same wheels have been on most of the RCs. Could Tesla keep that exact wheel design but shrink it? Yes, but unlikely.
What the smaller wheel size will be is still very much up for debate.
I agree 100%.I would go for smaller wheels, larger sidewalls on the tires. My friend's Model S has a noticeably smoother ride on the smaller wheels, that extra height on the tires helps absorb the bumps.
I agree 100%.
However I want the largest wheels. It will be a little rougher ride....but it will look amazingly cooler. ( not to my friends - but to me ).
Really?You mean your friends will be driving your car and you will be on the sidewalk watching it go by?
Tires for the 20's are really expensive. If you want a sporty look with the 18's just lower the car a little. If the offer the air suspension that would be easy. Also think of the weight saving from 18's = gains in acceleration and range.
Thanks! If these turn out to be the large option, I'm guessing the base wheel/tire size is either 225/50-18 or 235/45-18.Zoomed in photos of the alpha and release candidates indicate 20" wheels with 275/30-R20 tires
If I recall, I believe it was determined that they are staggered setup as well. Don't remember what the front tire size was, maybe 245/35R20, but I know it was different than the rears.Zoomed in photos of the alpha and release candidates indicate 20" wheels with 275/30-R20 tires.
