51K miles, Long Range with Full Self Driving. Pretty good price so I wasn't too concerned about the extreme curb rash on every wheel since I was going to get them redone in aluminum color anyway (see photos). I noticed a clicking when turning hard left or right from the front wheel. Took it to a dealer who found it was the front drive shaft CV joints. They were replaced and the Mercedes Dealer I bought it from reimbursed me. Then I took it to a place that reconditions wheels. They had to reweld all the edges. The previous owner must have parked by waiting to hear the grinding noise. And two wheels were bent!
I remember seeing a post about not liking black wheels and not having any other options. Well, I'm another black wheel denier. I think they look sinister. I think in a couple of years when black wheels fall out of fashion there will be some hot deals on murdered out Teslas. So, check them out, before and after. Thanks for listening.
