May I ask how much this setup costed you?

 

[Garnherr]

Will do! One reason I went with 19s is comfort.

What is the verdict on ride comfort?

Perfect comfort. No change from stock 19” rims.

Okay…………. It was suggested above that black titanium lugs would be better than the natural ones in the OP. So……. Which look, lug wise?

 

[scrapps]

The black of course. Although I would have gone with open ended for that extra weight saving

Black Titanium all the way!

Black looks better. Where did you get the titanium lugs? I assume they should hold up ok at 129 ft lbs that Tesla recommends?

Acer Racing. Use code GR30 to get a discount!

 

[Garnherr]

How is the efficiency compared to the stock wheels?

Apologies to @jebinc for the semi-hijack, but the nuts also come in open end design. Depending on your wheel design these might look better. That's what I went with, here's the link to the nuts along with a photo.

14x1.5 Titanium Lug Nuts Cone Seat

Manufactured from aerospace grade 6AL4V Titanium, these titanium lug bolts will not corrode or rust and offer a significant weight savings over steel lug bolts while giving a very sporty and aggressive look. 60 degree conical base (also known as a cone or acorn base). 20 piece set All nuts shown...

These are my lighter colored open titanium lugs from Jami/Secret EV

Awesome, thanks. Choices are always good. Now I have to see which lugs I want.

19" by what? What offset? It looks great. I got a set of 19x10 square +40 and I am using the stock tires.

Stock widths and stock offsets. Along with stock tires!
