Referral 21" Arachnid Wheels - colors

[alexyida]

I got my wheels in silver color from the service center today. I don't think I was ever asked to choose the color online. The link from the email only asked me which service center I want the the wheels to be shipped to.

I saw many posts showing 3 color options: silver, grey, and black. Did I miss the part of choosing colors, or do they only offer silver wheels these days??

My service center is in Toronto, Canada, but I don't think that makes any difference.

I think it's basically whatever Tesla has in stock at the moment.

I hoped that since my Model S came with the 21" gray turbines that I would get the gray or black Arachnids. Nope, got silver.

The current referral program is only in silver. Previous programs allowed you to choose a color.

Current iteration of referral program is Silver.
Color choice was available in an earlier program.

Has anyone had luck getting the service center to offer a different color other than Silver in this period? Hoping to get lucky and get a different one if possible but I won't look a gift horse in the mouth if silver is the only option!

Nope. They are only having them made in silver to save money. If you want one of the other colors, you need to get them repainted/powder coated or buy some from a previous referral program owner.

Does anyone know: Do the wheels come shipped to the SC and then tires mounted at the SC?

Im asking because Im in line for a set and I want to get them powder coated beforehand ....

The SC will only receive them in silver. You can of course powder coat them if you prefer a different color at any shop.

The wheels and tires come separately. I had to ask the SC to mount/balance the tires and TPMS since they were going to give them to me separately.

You should contact the Service Center and let them know. When we stopped by once, they had an employee who was spending the day mounting the tires on the wheels. All of our sets were delivered mounted.

Anyone have an update on approximately how long it took to get the wheels from the last referral to receive their car?

My Referral took ownership of his car in August 2017. I got to select my wheels mid November 2017 but just received them June 15th. So Approx 7mths!!! (to Canada). Tesla told me there was a mix up (eye roll)
