Saw these on a model s (pre refresh) with dealer tags.
 
Those aero rims were offered by Tesla for a short period of time. They are suppose to increase range by several percent--3% if I remember correctly. I think they were available for a couple of months two different times. Once a saw a couple of model Ss being delivered to Costa Mesa with those wheels on a car carrier truck.

Very interesting! I learn some new tesla history every day. Not for me, but they look ok as far as aero rims go. I wonder if they were discontinued out of fear of being labeled a weird mobile or if the uptake just wasn't there.
