Do you know if there is any rubbing? Fenders didn't have to be rolled correct?
No fender rolling from what ive read. There isn't much fender to roll, too.

Great info! This will help me with my rim selection.Not if you use the Pirelli tire. The Michelin tire does rub!

I recognize your new avatar, even though I see that you've been a member here since 2009!We are about to release 3 new styles of 22" and 20" wheels exclusively for the Model S. Please let me know if I can assist you with your purchase.
I am proud to share with everyone the release of our new AE Edition 20" and 22" wheel options made exclusively for the Tesla Model S. Please either call me (Elie) at 310.854.5454 or PM with any questions that you may have.
Wow, these look stunning. Partial to the matte black and grey finishes... really, really beautiful.
I'm curious. Might we see one of these styles on display for DrTaras' soon-to-be-transformed Model S? He's been taunting us about the upcoming big reveal on his thread. :wink:
I can't wait to see these on an actual Model S!

What makes these Niche and Ace wheels exclusive?
Good find.
I found this webpage that sells the AE10 style - Ace Alloy Convex Gloss Black w/ Machined Accents Wheels
. I'm not sure how much A&E is asking. A&E seems to have great customer service, so they likely will back a wheel purchase against any complaints or issues you'll have in the future.
A&E may have more to add. No disrespect meant.
I think the Khumo ECTSA ASX are better spec'ed for the tesla as they are closest overall diameter 27.7 vs. 28.0 and they have the narrower width (10.2") like the MPS tires.
As for service - there's certainly something to be said for service and that which is offered by Al & Ed's. I'm willing to pay for a bit of a markup for someone who did the research and specializes in Tesla's. One concern is just the overall weight of the wheel. I want something that is lighter than stock, not heavier.
Ellie - do you know what these weigh relative to stock. Seems like 38lbs is pretty darn heavy. Have you thought about forged wheels?
These may be a dumb questions but I'll ask anyway. Somewhat directed @ A-E.
1. When upsizing from 21 to 22, I presume it's mostly a visual thing. Are there benefits to cornering or somesuch for the 22s vs. the 21s?
2. When downsizing from 21 to 19 (at vehicle purchase), one of the reasons is to open up more options for tires -- especially w/r/t non-sunshine tires. Are you guys considering looking into <19" wheels as well for the "bad weather special edition" configuration of a Model S?
Thanks.
3-piece forged wheels... sneak peak on my 'follow the build blog'We do offer a variety of 21" and 22" 1-piece or 3-piece forged wheels by Forgiato
