Bumping this old thread since I'm a soon to be Model S owner and am potentially thinking about switching out my wheels. Had a few questions for anyone who knows..
1. Any further thoughts from anyone about their TST 20" rims several months later?

Hey @sm01 I have the T Sportline 20" turbines and couldn't be happier with the look and performance. I had the same thoughts beforehand and a non issue in my experience. I selected the 21" tyre size on screen when I had them installed and the TPMS sensors registered automatically. The speedometer is spot on from my tests which was my main worry, happy that when it says a speed I know that's exactly what I'm doing. Range calculations etc shouldn't be affected by wheel size in that case, the type of tyre, temp, weather conditions etc would have more of an effect on that but if you're cutting it so fine to get to the next charger that the margin of error on the tyre size is a factor, you're cutting it too close! I'm a big fan of my 20"s, no regrets.
Did you 20”ers “downgrade” from 21”? Looking for a more comfortable ride and unsure if going 20 or 19” is the better move.
No, I didn't downgrade, my car came with the standard 19" wheels -- I never had nor wanted 21" wheels. They're really prone to tire blowouts with potholes, and in some cases that will bend or crack the rim.
I used my 20" T-Sportline wheels with a summer tire set (Michelin Pilot Super Sport), and then used the 19" wheels for a winter tire set.

Anyone with 20" rims want to provide feedback on average tread life they are getting? Seeing owners of 21" rims only getting 10-12k per tire set has kept me on 19" wheels.
The BBS CHR is a nice strong and light wheel... I recommend looking for the 20x9 size with 29mm offsetI picked up my new MS just before winter last year and found a set of OEM double spikes that I had powder coated gloss black. Put on some nokians and I was set for the winter. The look of these OEM wheels in black had grown on me and I love the ride on 19”. I would have damaged my wheels monthly if I was running 21” wheels. In fact I have a set of brand new arachnids sitting at my sc that I’ve decided this week to sell.
Loss of range, hassle of dealing with damaged wheels has made me pull the trigger to sell the Arachnids.
Leaning toward a set of BBS CHR 19x8 with the OEM type tires. Sure not as aggressive looking but ride quality, low risk of curb rash and damage are upsides!
