Look at an F1 car/Indy car wheel.
Where in Connecticut? I used to go to school in the southwestern corner of the state. Beautiful area but the winters are tough4 bent 20” performance rims in CT, 3 popped tires in 6 months of ownership. Have I mentioned this state is loathsome with their road repair?
2 bent rims and 2 popped tires in first week of ownership. 1 of the rims had to be replaced and one didn't but still bent. f-ing bs
One year in, rims in good condition - though recently have been running 18” for road trips. Many potholes avoided. The rains are coming again; may leave the 18” on for a little longer. Hard to part with those PS4S though. It is like a different car.
What tires on are you on 18s?
This is not a defect and Tesla should not provide you any compensation. It's from hitting potholes or other impacts to the wheels.
The 20" tires have a thin, stiff sidewall and therefore not a lot of "give". If you hit something hard enough there is only so much force the tire can take before it translates into the wheel.
This is not unique to Tesla. Any manufacturers wheel (BMW, Audi, Mercedes, Lexus, etc) with stiff, low-profile tires will bend if it hits a pothole with enough force. This is something to be expected when running big wheels with low-profile tires. You got to pay to play, as they say. If you don't like them buy some 19's.
I felt a shimmy after 6,000 miles on my P3D and upon service appt at Tesla they explained I have 2 bent rims on the passenger side. I’m really upset about this. I’m a careful driver. They say I need to replace the wheels and the tires!
The issue I have is that I had zero clue from Tesla that I have eggshell tires! There should def be a reduced price replacement program. Tesla quote for replacement is $2400. Great.

Why hard to part with?
I don’t have any idea.What did you hit?
I just would’ve liked some sort of warning. I had no idea I had to avoid ALL potholes.I don’t have any idea.

Find a rim repair shop. I live in the Bay Area, an expensive place, and pay $200 / rim for a full repair.I felt a shimmy after 6,000 miles on my P3D and upon service appt at Tesla they explained I have 2 bent rims on the passenger side.
