19" Turbine Wheel Solution

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 Easter Sunday)!

Happy belated, G_G! I don't know what TSportline does to get those matte black center caps...I suspect they paint a set of silver ones, maybe using Center Cap Ts as masking. You may only need the black TPMS and lug covers, unless you want to retain your original lugs as a second set.

Wow...looks good!

My gray wheels arrived today. They look nice. Now to select tires.

Some pics of Newscutter's Grey TST wheel against my Green Model S in the rain, and a comparison to the Rial Lugano Titanium Gunmetal wheels:

 

[Newscutter]

Y'know... the "T" isn't aligned with the spoke on your Rial either.
This could be good evidence to counter accusations of OCD in court someday.

 

[JakeP]

I had to adjust it to match the one on the TST, for the "casual look".

 

[gg_got_a_tesla]

Hmm... not convincing enough IMO, Jake. Looks rather pale and also does seem too blue for your green S. Matte Black FTW?!

Had my TST Grey's installed today at Al & Eds West LA, (thanks Elie)

Can you post some from further away as well? Would like to see the full affect. Thanks!

Aaaahhhh you are killing me! It's bad enough that I keep wondering about Silver! I am ruling out the Black on dirt and salt factor alone...we have snow and rain here. Black will be perfect for you, though!

 

[gg_got_a_tesla]

Yup, black it would be for me. Getting close...

I snapped a few quick pics with my iPhone before my wife drove off with the car :crying:

Very cool, thanks.

Thanks,

Elie has a set of 20 black lug nut caps for $50, what do you guys think, leave them the way they are or get the black caps? (he didn't have any in stock for me to try while I was there yesterday)

I ordered a set of the black plastic lug caps (Service sells them for the same price), but I think it looks fine with the chrome exposed. Once I get my set mounted, I'll post pics both ways. Gonna be a few weeks though, going to apply OptiCoat Pro before I mount the tires, etc.

Will be getting my silver Sportline wheels installed on Green P85 tomorrow. Struggled with gray versus silver. Think I made the right decision. Will post pictures tomorrow. Cheers!

Tried to have my tires rotated at Tesla service center but they wouldn't touch them because I had the rial Lugano aftermarket wheels
has everyone else had the same experience?

 

[JakeP]

My SC checked my alignment and balanced my Rial Luganos (with Michelin X-Ice3s), but they didn't rotate them.
