Nice and sunny today. That gunmetal looks slick with the blue.

Very nice. Where did you source the Tesla caps? I'd like to replace the Rial caps that came with the rims with something similar.

See page 49 of this thread, MKnox...the term "sourcing" may be a bit of an understatement in Kevin's case! Though you can buy stickers and spare caps without the embossing that will do the job, see page 48 also.

In all honesty, I have never done anything like that before. I didn't even know for sure if the Bondo would be a good idea, but since it is used to fill in defects for body work, I figured it would work for this project. I'm pleased with the way it has turned out.

I got the paint from here. I think it was a Cadillac gunmetal. Close, but a little darker than the Rial gunmetal. Shot in the dark... (They do have Tesla paint colors, too.)

FYI, It's better to reference the post numbers as this post is on page 15 for me.

I like the look of those soon to be minted 19" turbines too. Trying to hold off until I get word that they will indeed be shipping April 14th.

Wish these were available last fall. Rather than take off OEMs I would have purchased these for summer use and used my original 5-spokes for the winter.

Very cool! Hmm... I'm liking the look of the black more than the gray (a little too pale?!)

I think you should buy a set of black TSTs, and post some pics so we can see how they look with Sequoia Green!

How much do these wheels weigh each, compared to TESLA stock 19 inch wheels?

You know, I think it's time I stopped ogling and pulled the trigger Have to dig up your post with the part numbers for the center caps and lug nuts. Will ask the Mrs for a belated b'day present (it was on Easter Sunday)!

Pretty much the same. There's a dedicated thread for these wheels:
