Picture request: Any Model S with a nice wheels/rims set up?

[mnx]

Here's my wrapped Anthracite 3m, tinted rear crystaline 40, sides 70, with tirerack custom grey painted 20" Motegi MR126View attachment 25483View attachment 25484 wheels. I would say to try and find wider rear rims. Mine are 8.5" all around. I'm eating tires and would like more traction. I have Michelin super sports 255/40/20. Close to half life with 4500 miles on them.

Nice setup. I saw those MR126's on tirerack and thought they looked decent, also very lightweight for a 20" wheel. I didn't like the silver/chrome accents on them so great call on powdercoating them.

Have you noticed the tires rubbing in the front at all? My michelin pilot pa3's in 255/45/19 tend to rub a little bit.

On more note. As I understand it wider tires only get you more traction for cornering. What tire pressure are you running at? Reducing pressure a little will also get you more traction.

this owner claims this is the first set ever of TS117 in Brush Satin finish | 21x90 21x95.

yearofthedragon, is that your car? Is that in LA?

I'm curious because it looks like you have parking sensors. Did you get those after-market?

We did customize this car including the front and rear parking sensors.

Looks nice but I can't get over how those wheels are such a direct rip off of the HRE P40S/P40SC.

Here is my car with staggered 20's that I purchased from Elie at A&E. I will try and post better pictures later.

Thanks for the compliment!
They are 20x8.5 front, and 20x10 rears with 35mm offset. 275's on rear and 245's on front. No smoked lights. Tint but all stock
Cheers!

@John: nice set up. 21"? it looks 22s. also did you get your tailight smoked?

I saw this clip from Vossen with concave rims. very nice. I'm not sure if it's wrap or customized pain. check it out.

Did you black out the tail lights? Or are they that dark stock?

 

[bonehead]

AMPd, yes I did. I had it done when I dechromed everything.

It looks really good, now if only there was a way to black out the licence plate

 

[bonehead]

Thanks! I'm not sure if law enforcement would be keen on that idea, though!

I wonder if these come in the right configuration for the Model S: Rial Padua. Couldn't navigate their website since it was in German and Chrome didn't do a fantastic job.

How did you dechrome everything? With vinyl or paint. Also I noticed you're in Orange county. If you don't mind me asking where did you take it to. Love the blk/blk stealth look.

Thanks! It's vinyl. I did it at Rolotech in Anaheim. Dave does good work!
