New 21" Arachnid Wheel and Tire Package

[Nicksontou]

Hi All,
Thats my 60 !!! sold it to upgrade...
I powder coated a set of chevy rims with a "black magic" powder. The rims are 19 inches (had to swap out got sooooo frustrated with the tesla 21s). took a friend and I about 48 hours sand blasting , waiting, heating, and mounting. But well worth it as you can see its not rEAlly black but not really grey either ! Email me for any pics or vids

Does anyone have a pic of a MS with the arachnids on it? Would love to see what they look like.

Mockup.. but gives you a good idea.

And if they were offered in grey..

I'd put the grey Arachnid's on for summer wheels if I could sell my silver turbines... I like the look - a little more sporty. I wonder if they are lighter than the turbines?

Bump..

Anyone aware of weight, manufacture, etc ... ?

Nicksontou, do you know what the name of the Chevrolet rim is? I'm thinking about what I'm going to do in the spring for wheels... was planning to get some nicer ones in 19" for my summer tires, but the exchange rate is getting really, really ugly which limits my options. I had some wheels restored on my '81 RX-7 by a company close by and they did a really nice job. As much as I don't like General Motors, if the wheels could be used with an epoxy paint or something to give me the dark grey colour, they might be a good option... they look pretty good! I'd just want to be sure the offset, weight and strength are up to the Model S.

Are those the RS06 wheels you have on your car? Plenty of good looking wheels on their site and I see the head office is in Richmond BC... well within striking distance for me!

 

[Tony Lin]

RS07 ya pay them a visit, ask for Cyrus if he is in town.

Hey Tony I have been looking for these wheels for ages in a hyper silver colour.

Can I ask how much you paid for them and did you buy them in HK or import from North America? I've found buying any wheels in HK is so much more expensive so..

Thanks for the help!

Ya just buy it from oversea, much cheaper even after shipping.

If you want PUR wheels, go to Reinart in Kowloon bay.

They are are friends with SR auto group in Vancouver. Reinart owners are also from Vancouver too.

Ive attached contact for Justin who is their head sales in Hong Kong.

They are the shop that built all the wide body RWB Porsche, liberty walk m4/GTR.

Very knowledgeable guys

Very interesting photos, thanks !
I guess a very limited number of people close to Tesla HQ may have them; probably not the general public at this stage...

Looks like they are not backordered any more on Tesla's site. $7,600. No grey option. =\
