This!
Jokes aside - The 20s just look to small on the Model X - The 22s are the right size wheels for a car of this size.

New to the whole Tesla wheel-tire thing. (I am asking in different threads.)
Are the tires and wheels in the "Model X 22" Turbine Wheel and Pirelli Scorpion Tire Package" in onyx black (sold online at the Tesla-USA Model X Shop site for $6,800 [parts, shipping, installation]) the same tres and wheels making up the "22-inch Onyx Black Wheels" option offered for an additional $5,500 when "building" a pre-refresh USA Model X (say from 2020)? You also see the "22-inch Onyx Black Wheels" description on the Tesla Inventory pages. Just want to make sure they are the same thing.
Yes, they should be.
Thanks. I think you are right. Found this:
Wheel and Tire Guide for Tesla Vehicles - Unplugged Performance
which seems to support the idea that the two wheel-sets (described on Tesla Inventory sites and on Tesla Model X Shop site) are one in the same.
Thinking out loud, the next question for me to investigate is, what is a fair asking price for a new (less than 100 miles) set of 22" Tesla Onyx Black Turbine wheels and tires (from 2021 Model X--unsure if they would fit other Tesla cars)? They were an additional $5,500 option when buying a new (pre-refresh) MX. And they sell for $6,800 on the Tesla MX Shop site--but that includes shipping and installation).
So I am thinking, $3,500? No idea as to desirability/availability. What the market determines, I guess.
... I run both 22 and 20 inch sets pending the season.
Thanks for good info.
Ah, yes. Winter in Chicago. I've been there. (I grew up in New England; lived in Ohio; visited Chicago.) Central Valley (Sacramento, CA) seasons seem to be getting milder (climate change?). I think I'll get two sets of 20" wheel-sets.
Nice car.

I have mentioned this in other places as well: The price of the 22" that Tesla charges is ridiculous...

I have 22 niche wheels and two bent already in one year and lose balance fast. When tires start getting old it’s like riding on rocks on the concrete highway. Look great but moving to 20 inch rotiform ozr r159. So good lookingThe larger wheels while giving a slight handling edge lose in efficiency, harsher/stiffer ride, more costly tires and a MUCH greater chance of rim and tire sidewall damage. I opted for the smaller wheels.

What pressure are you keeping your tires at? Or are your roads that bad? I've driven about half my miles on 22 wheels and I can't say I've had the same experience.

same here. No issues yet with my 22s. I got the TSS Sportlines in 22s that I will be mounting soon and looking forward to getting some drive time with them on.
I am with you.My X has the 20” Silver Helix wheels, which were a $2500 option (according the original Monroney sticker that was with my car when I bought it used). Style is subjective to ones own taste, but I like the looks of these compared to the regular 20” wheel. In the year I’ve owned my car, I’ve never seen another X with them. The fact that they’re a bit unique, I guess, is the attraction. View attachment 643799
