    i prefer the look of the turbines, but mostly because of the color.

    Turbines, of course. They’re arguably one of the best looking multispoke wheels ever designed.

    The Turbine's look awesome! Honestly the color is about 95% of my opinion though. The same color slipstreams would look pretty similar in my eyes, and have the benefits of 19" vs 21" (price of tires, ride comfort, road noise, etc).

    If I could afford it, I would do turbines in a heartbeat. They look badass. I like the older turbines to the newer ones though. The older ones looked a lot more industrial. The new ones are dainty lol.

    Has anyone tried putting the 22" Model X black Turbine wheels on a Model S?

    There is a thread on this site titled something along the lines of "after market wheels." I'm pretty certain I saw one or two people with the 22" wheels on a Model S. Pictures included.

    I highly doubt you’ll get anyone saying the Slipstreams (from a pure aesthetic POV, not weight/energy consumption, etc.). That wheel is just unbecoming of the MS and is mundane IMO. I would opt for the original split-spokes if staying with 19”.
    Good choice going to the Turbines! Looks great!
