Don’t know about the US but in the Canadian store they sell a set of winter tires on Tempest rims with TPMS sensors

Yep - the winter tire set for 19’s were in stock around 3pm yesterday. They sold out quickly again.
Ended up not buying them, as not sure when I would receive them and at least in Cleveland very little snow this year. Will get them next season and hopefully more choices then.
Ah, bummer. I have a web monitoring bot set up that checks the site every 5 minutes for stock status change. And I check every 15-30 minutes. Never saw it. Bummer.

They definitely come in and out of stock (or have been) on a fairly regular basis.

Such BS, too. They haven't delivered a single set. I confirmed this with several service centers. I ordered mine December 6, the first day they were available. Tesla... good grief.

And how do you know they haven’t delivered “a single set yet”? Sure, you were lied to and haven’t received yours, but how would you know if Joe in Peoria didn’t get his?

They must be delivering as there would be reason to be in and out of stock. The price was actually quite competitive and I would have went with that option had it been available when I 'wintered up'. I ended up with Replika 241 19" rims and Michelin X-ICE with Tesla TPMS. About $ 500 for the setup less than the Tempest but love the X-Ice. I guess the upside of my config is that if I damage a rim, they are relatively inexpensive and available at about $ 250/rim. All in Canadian dollars of course.

Well, I've called a bunch of service centers in the Seattle area, and they haven't delivered any. They can't even get all the wheels in - let alone the tires, and I have a friend in Bellevue who ordered the second they were available, and he is in the same boat as me. Nobody has reported getting any installed, so I'm going to go with... they don't have any. PROVE ME WRONG, GUYS! DO IT!

New bits have arrived, so I can start cutting now. One caveat, the screws are on Backorder at McMaster Carr and did not arrive with the rest of the hardware, but McMaster Carr says I should receive them by the end of next week. So this might delay shipments by a few days.

The tooling for the V2 flaps is complete and production has begun! (Rears I these pics.)
Now with the milling process I just sit back and wait while the machines do the work. All flaps will now be identically cut. As soon as the remaining hardware comes in I will begin shipments! (Should be any day from mid to end of this week according to McMaster Carr).
Here are two stacked showing how tight the tolerances are:
Much less waste now too:

Comparison to my workstation when I started making these by hand versus now with a machine:
I love solving these kinds of small problems. Also I should lay off the soda.

Love those small maker machines. Which one did you get ? I picked up an Ender 3D printer last March and have had a ton of fun with it
