Awesome, does look nice! Any close up shots? What color is that? I think I saw you mentioned raceway gray somewhere - is that a standard palette color?

I decided to go with Slate Gray. I liked it's richness against the Midnight Silver better than Speedway Gray. It's a standard color.

Beautiful! I wonder how these would look on a black X. I don't want to murder my X out and looking for a possible different contrast than stock. I love the color combo of stock colored wheels and black but like a more subtle uniqueness to it. Very good choice Zroiron.

I'm definitely going to be powder coating my wheels matte black! Local shop in OC quoted me $300 for the set. They repaired my OEM Audi wheels to brand new condition since it was curbed and rashed.

That's an insanely good price for powder coating 4 wheels. Can you let me know where you are getting it done as I am sure more will be interested. Maybe an even better deal.

710 Powder Coating. Located in Anaheim. Here are pictures of my Audi wheels that I had refinished.

One point worth noting is that the price will be lower if you take the wheels to the hop instead of the car, and they have to unmount, powercoat, mount, rebalance etc.

I dropped of the car today to a shop for powder coating, they charge reasonable price for the wheels, and asks $3 per wheel nut and $5 per center piece. Although it is only $80 more to do all, the business owner is honest enough to warn me that because those are plastic parts, the paint might come off quickly. I said the don't do it, but I know it definitely will look better if everything is black...

@indy360 , I noticed you have a picture of the wheels where the nuts and center piece are silver, and pictures of them being all black, could you please kindly share your method of blackening those small parts? Thanks in advance.

I was quoted $85 a wheel for my 19" slipstreams from a S. Brought in just the rims. Choose a color close, but not identical to the tesla 21" gray.

Hi, sorry for the late reply. Did not notice the question. To be honest the shop did everything and I actually don't know how they did it. I did not receive any warnings of durability issues however. I have not washed the car since it was done but it's holding up well FWIW.

No problem, I actually found out Tesla sells the carter cap and nut covers, at incrediblely low price. They are $5 /ea and $1 /ea, yes you read me right, one dollar! This is probably the cheapest thing sold by Tesla, ever.

I got mine powder coated a Dark Hyper Silver (tri-coat). Haven't seen them in person yet, I pick up the vehicle on Saturday.

Here is mine, just to share.

Looks great! Any more pictures? Is it gloss? or matte? There are 21" MS wheels that i'm considering but they are only 21 x 9.0"

It's gloss, only cost me $350 + tax, and additional $40 for buying the center caps & nut covers from Tesla.

Haha did the exact same thing! Except I got metallic Grey to make the color of the car. Saved myself 4k ding this instead of getting the 22s and I still have a smoother ride. 130 per wheel and 1 day turnaround. I live in dallas though

I am in Dallas and would like to get that. Can you tell me who did it for you?
thx
