damaged rear Arachnid rim

[SemiS3XYR]

I have a damaged rim rear Tesla Arachnid rim for sale. Please see photos.

$100 OBO

 

[SemiS3XYR]

Rim only (no cap, no sensors). This is the rim for sale and close up of crack and curbage. Very clean otherwise.

Ouch. That's bad. That does not look repairable. I personally would not risk selling it for fear someone tries to re-use it.

 

[SemiS3XYR]

this is true. One shop I inquired with said they wouldn't repair it.

emergency spare anyone?

I thought these arachnids are supposed to be stronger?

 

[FalconHeavy]

Any idea on shipping cost? 68114. I have a project in mind for chair side table.

I have damaged 3 Arachnids... Cracked a Front, Cracked a Rear, and Bent a front.... of course not at the same time, but just under 2 years..

 

[Akikiki]

Ouch x 3. What have you been doing? Air dropping your Tesla in Hilo and driving to Kona without using the road? Gosh !

Guess a lot of pot holes in Hawaii

@G'sinHawaii
wow, definitely not getting another set for another future model S yikes

P.S. my friend from oahu (Mililani) just visited us in NJ. Lived in Oahu 12 years ago for a year. Miss it! Wish we never left but NJ family.

Ya think you would miss your family? Naw. You would see them even more if you lived here. Funny how they can find the money to come to Hawaii, but not Maine in Jan.

My local vineyard uses damaged wheels from exotics to wind their garden hoses around them. My wife and I went to pick grapes at their annual public picking day and laughed when we noticed how they were repurposing Ferrari and Lamborghini wheels.

Generally I'm not a fan of wheels with lower than a 45 tire profile and I prefer forged instead of cast wheels. I've seen too many cracked wheels over the years. Fortunately none of them were my own.

 

[G'sinHawaii]

Yes, Hawaii does have horrible roads, but, I hate to say this... (knocking on wood) I haven't hit a pot hole in my Tesla SO FAR...

I have been driving a Tesla since 2014, with the 19" rims, 21" Turbines, and never had any issues till I mounted the Arachnids, just about 21 months now, and almost 20K miles...

So yes, I think it is weaker, but, no one is going to admit that... and yes, both my cracks looked very similar to the pic above it leaks air very very slowly.

Have a great day!

[SemiS3XYR]

Bump

 

[SemiS3XYR]

This is still here
Think about the cool house furniture you can make!

 

[Gvardaman]

I would get this for a hose reel, but shipping would already make it too expensive. Well, for me at least.

 

[SemiS3XYR]

@Gvardaman shouldn’t be bad just the rim. maybe like $30
I can run a quote for you. Pm me mailing address
Thanks!

 

[Gvardaman]

Thanks, but that’s the problem, $30-$40 is about all I could afford for this. Totally not worth your time and trouble!
