Pic request Arachnids on Blue Model S

[JPUConn]

Does anyone have pics of a the silver Arachnids on a Blue Model S?

If I’m not able to sell the set I have coming from the referral program I will keep them for summer use. Im interested on how itlooks or if I should plastidip/powdercoat them black or gray.

Pic with my current 19” Slipstream below:

Did a google search and found this on a blue refresh model:

Thanks! So tempting but I’m afraid of what I’ll do to them on the NJ roads in the spring.

IMO, I like the dark ones over the light ones!

I like the dark ones better, I may paint these... maybe not... anyway, looks better without the suspension on very high.

I will say, the wheels are amazing... you can feel the difference in jump off the line and it's weird to feel how light they are turning the steering wheel left and right. They are so light that the efficiency has to be comparable to the slip streams.

Thanks! Red calipers and tint as well, that looks awesome.

Hi JPUconn,

I actually just had arachnids installed on MS. I’m in NJ too and was worried about roads. I have Midnight Silver. They are definitely rougher on the roads. You feel every bump. It might be too that the tire pressure is around 49 psi. I don’t plan on driving during winter time as much.

Btw, where did you get your tints done?

Looks incredible. Tints were on the car when I purchased it from the prior owner in Nevada. I use a shop in Milford, CT on my other vehicles for higher end ceramic tint.

This is not because they are light, but because the sidewalls of the tire are smaller and firmer than they are on a car with larger sidewalls!

Ah, but I'm going from turbines to arachnid with same tire! I'm serious, it's not a placebo... they literally feel lighter, and I'm not talking tire pressure kind of difference... it is really remarkable. Standard mode is now like comfort, sport is like standard... but I can only tell at very low speeds when turning left and right... Perhaps it it feels similar to a 19 inch slipstream but I can't reliably comment on that

Anybody have pics of dark wheel on a blue car? I’m feeling the itch but not sure how those would look.

Anyone have a pic of grey arachnids on a blue Tesla?

I have a set coming shortly and considering powdercoating them the Gunmetal grey of the turbines.

I believe the blue on grey combo with red calipers is stunning.

Anyone?

I got an unrepairable flat last night on my 19s, so to turn lemons into lemonade, I put on my Arachnid wheels that I won in the referral program. Looks pretty good IMHO. It almost fits your pic request too, although I have the original blue, not the current blue, and no red calipers. I should have lowered the suspension before I took the photo last night...

Looks great my buddy’s getting arachnids for his blue S and wants to know whether to coat them gun metal or leave them silver. He intends to tint windows and have the calipers painted red with T decals.

If you’re still on fence between grey and silver arachnids with the blue here is another photo of DBM with silver.
