If they are like all of TSportline's other wheels, they will take a Tesla center cap.

Wiki Model Y 19" vs 20" Decision Guide
- Thread starter MrTemple

Yeah they are pretty good about that. I bought the TSTs, but honestly $2000 for these rims in black and swapping out the tire is a good deal. Total game changer! I truthfully don't see a reason to go with inductions as you could use these as a swap, or pay essentially the different in just tires and get a set of 20"s with tpms included. Good job, Tsportline!
From their website:
Accepts factory Tesla center cap, factory Tesla lug nut, factory Tesla TPMS sensor and factory 19" tire (255/45-19)
Also note they are 9.5 in wide for the 19s and 10 in for the 20s.

I went with Gemini and planned to swap them out as well. These TSV wheels are a interesting mix of Induction and Uberturbine, and have just supplanted TSS as my preferred option.
TSV are way too heavy. If I'm swapping wheels, I want to reduce the weight from the OEM wheels. If you're into the look and not dynamics, suit yourself.
Hello all!
First, thank you all, and especially MrTemple, for the great information presented here! Based on your suggestions, I've come to a purchase plan of sorts. Before I press the checkout buttons, I wanted to ask opinions and see if I was forgetting/neglecting anything.
Currently have the TMY PUP with the staggered 21" Ubers and Pirelli tiress. For issues of curb rash and some winter mountain driving, I have the following setup planned and ready to buy:
- Replika R241 20" x 8.5" (5x114.3mm, +35, 64.1mm)
- Quatrac Pro 255/40R20 All-Weather tires (M+S)
- can't seem to find a direct source for TPS so swapping from OEM
Thoughts? Is this going to work, at least on paper? Thanks!

I have another thread going about this but the OEM wheel is 9.5 in and you are stepping down to an 8.5. might want to check the load rating on those wheels just in case. I'm still trying to figure out why Tesla went with 9.5's.
Load rating is sufficient.... but to me, you go down to a 8.5 wheel so you can run 245/45 and have cheaper/more tire selection.
As others have mentioned, thank you @MrTemple for the detail and information thread in this thread! I know it's just been a couple of weeks but I'm intrigued by your update on Sept 16 that said you may reconsider things. Have you gotten hands on the Replika wheels yet? Just ordered an MY and am still agonizing over this decision...

I must be blind. I didn't remember seeing that on any of their wheels so I went to their site. Still don't see it. Do you have a photo?
I believe this used to be the case, but no longer is. None of that on my wheels (bought in June). People on forums were probably complaining about it too much

Exactly, their design changed and they no longer have their name stamped into the rim.I believe this used to be the case, but no longer is. None of that on my wheels (bought in June). People on forums were probably complaining about it too much
Not yet! They should be arriving at my tire shop tomorrow (Oct 8), so it'll be a couple more days before I can check them out.
Powder coated Geminis with this protective strip from Amazon. $195/wheel on the San Francisco peninsula. The protection strip needs two packages for all 4 wheels.
Holy smokes! $200/wheel? Why not just buy new rims and sell the gemini rims to somebody looking for winters? Probably could have shaken out around $50 per wheel.
And even if you really wanted to keep the Geminis, you probably could have gotten a lot lower cost to coat them.
I like the look of the Geminis and where I live in California, we don’t do winter. $195/wheel is pretty much what everybody is quoting locally.
I'm guessing you have no intention of ever using the covers, but do you know if they would work with that protective strip? Or would it be too tight?
Unknown. I do not recall where the covers sit on the outside but they may just sit on this rim.
