Yes, I just haven’t the time to get them done yet. I expect I will get them done in the next two weeks. I will post pics when done.
Rims went in today. Decided on "Satin Black" as my colour choice.
I did go with Quy's Coating and he is a bit expensive but he offers a lifetime warranty on the work, so I figured it was worth it. I'll post some pics when they are done and on the car.

Cool, sounds good. Looking forward to seeing his work. I was very satisfied with mine and Satin Black is a great colour choice.
Rims were done last week but I just picked them up today. Powder coated Satin Black. Rims came out great.
I put mine on two days ago (on Tuesday). I just love the look and I am really happy how they came out.
Please don't say that about the snow!!! LOL
I have been watching CP24, Accuweather, Weather Network etc... to satisfy myself that there would be no more snow!!!!
What are you thinking about putting on your 22's? Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+?
I haven't started looking at brands yet but I previously had Continental EXTREME CONTACT DWS06's and they were good tires. Best price I've seen so far on the rears "295/25/22" are $361 each. But they come with an 80k warranty. I haven't been able to get pricing on the fronts "245/30/22" as yet. I have them on my wifes Audi A7 "265/35/20" and she's got about 60k out of them so far with plenty of tread remaining.

why Detroit? Unless you have a mounting / balancing setup in your garage, I've found that tires23 make tirerack or any US tire pickups obselete.
They're in Mississauga right by 401-Dixie.

i.e. 4x Michelin PSS for tesla 245.35ZR21 shipped to TireRack installer in niagara falls NY = $1163 USD
Add installation (balancing, mounting) and you're at $1250 USD.
DON'T declare them when you cross and you're converting to CAD at 1.290 (if you have access to spot, which you don't) = $1612 CDN
I bought my Michelin PSS for $1700 all in installed/mounted/balanced at tires23 a few months ago when the dollar was right where it is now. So for $88 I'll save the 2 hrs of driving and lying at the border.
Tell the truth at the border and you're up to $1830 CAD to buy them in America, drive there, get them installed and drive back. $100 more.
I bought my winters from Tires23 (Michelin X-Ice 3's) and I think the price for them was about the same everywhere (Kal Tire and Kipling Tire both had them at the exact same price).
I'll check them out. I just got bad news though. The rims I refinished won't fit on the Tesla. The offset in the front is too aggressive. So with that said I'm going to use my 21's until I find a buyer for the 22's. Now I'm debating if I should even bother looking for a new set of 22's for the summer....
Do you think it makes that much of a difference? 21's look great. Not sure 22's make that much of a difference but it is tough to measure personal preference.

LOL, absolutely, there are quite a few options, especially in the 22" range. I have been looking for 19" myself but with the right weight/ strength/ cost balance. As you mentioned, the challenge is finding something that is different than everything else out there and is still aerodynamic and of reasonable weight.
