Thx buddy. They really do compliment MCR well I think.

Guys I’m going to powdercoat the arachnids Sonic Carbon or GMetal. Anyone happen know the sonic carbon paint code??

I know Silver is beautiful but I just prefer the darker metal look!

Is the pic you attached redone midnight silver metallic or the oem grey colour they used to supply as part of the original referral program? And Those are the paint codes for the ext paint correct?

I think Sonic Carbon is a bit more pewter and less grey?

Looks like sonic and midnight silver are identical. Hmmm...I can’t see any diff.

Here are the Arachnids on my P100D (skip to 6:44 if you just want to see the wheels installed):

Sub if you want to see more Tesla vids when I upload them. InternetDude

Can you purchase a set of the sonic carbon colored lug nut covers from Tesla? Or do you guys just use the black ones for the grey arachnids?

Black ones. I suppose one could buy some metallic grey spray paint from home depot for $6 and voila. May not be an exact tone match so better to not even try.

Thanks! The car is on air suspension with lowering links. The first picture is at standard height and the second is on low. From stock it's only 3/8" lower in the rear and about 1" in the front.

Can you do Arachnid on an X?! I thought there were wheel size/spacing/something issues.

Oops, that’s the other thread. Still though it was an S only option?

I saw one a few months ago. Took these images.

IMO, They look to small on the X. Maybe bigger tires would help?

Along with a good plate..

Looks aside, I thought the weight of the X was too much for the Arachnids. That's a dangerous setup.
