Anyone know if they will physically fit?. I understand the tires won't, but those can easily being changed.
Currently have 21" wheels, however in lovely Los Angeles where half the roads are horrible, it's an issue hitting unexpected pot holes. Unfortunately my work takes me on unfamiliar paths, so it's not possible for me to learn where they are to avoid them.
Have never once scraped a wheel against a curb, but am now going on my 6th replacement wheel due to pot holes. Just lost two the other day on a road I was unfamiliar with. 30 MPH in traffic and WHAM WHAM, LF and LR hit it. Saw it at the very very last second after the car in front passed it, too late to swerve. Guessing it was only about 4-5 inches deep, but that was enough.
Anyway, for what ever reason, Tesla doesn't offer a 20" wheel for the Model S. That would probably be the perfect size to improve appearance (the only reason for going with the 21's), but also allow room for a little more tire height so you don't kill the wheels. Thought since the Model X has 20" stock wheels, they'd look better than the 19's of the same design, then just put tires on them. Seeing a lot of them on E-bay now, but Tesla of course won't answer an aftermarket question, so checking to see if anyone has tried it or knows before buying a set.
Thank you
