From my initial observations, looks like the range did take a good amount of hit (~15%). I will have to go and check again. My wheels are about 32 lbs (F & R), which is about the same weight as the factory 20s; according to Tsportline, the factory 22s are 36 and 41 lbs I believe. But, the flush fitment, wider tires (315 width in the rear), and the open wheel face design are probably contributing factors to the additional hit compared to the factory 22 (which seem to have a 6-7% impact on range).

Thanks. I have always liked the factory 22s for the X (old and the new ones). But, i like this design a little better

Hey,
How do you like those FR4? Have you had any paint chipping issues? I heard the lips on these wheels are aluminium painted black and they chip within a few months even without any curb rash.
I am in the market for a new set of 22s for my X and was debating between Ferrada FR4 and Rohana RFC10 in matte black with 22x9 and 22x10.5. What I don't like about this design is how the face looks so much smaller than the diameter of the lip. It makes the wheels look like they are 20". But I love the concavity. I am also not sure what offset to go with to have flushed (borderline aggressive) look.
I aslo like a bit of straighter wall on the tires. What tires would you recommend to have the max height and width without rubbing issue. I live in MN and I am going with all season (don't have the time or patience to swap between summer and winter....have another car to deal that pain and that's enough
); so need the grip. Thanks in advance for chimming in.For the price, the wheels are pretty nice! Yes, the lips are pretty sketchy, they are thin metal pressed on the actual rim, and chip real easy. At some point pressure washing them almost striped them completly of their paint. Had them refinished and never had a problem since.. This setup with larger tires could work, but on very low suspension setting, with stock sizes I get rubbing in the frontHey,

When you say re-finish, do you mean powder coating them or simply repainting? Our local shop in Minneapolis charges about $140 per wheel for powder coarting rims, I am not sure if that's a viable option. I like the FR4 but the chipping is holding me back. Do you know or think Rohana RFC10 which has pretty similar lip design would have the same issue?
Not powder coated, just had the lips repainted with 2-part automotive paint. The issue is that from factory they take the chrome lips and paint them directly without any kind of prep. So the finish doesnt 'stick' and flakes off. They do this to give the black lip a candy effect, but makes for a filmsy finish. Otherwise the wheels are really nice, the deep concave effect from the spokes are not something you find on many other wheels.

This is just unacceptable when you pay $3k for a set of wheels and the manufacturer does not even paint them properly......really frustrating. I wanted to go with FR4s badly but didn't want to deal with paint chipping and potential bad customer service. I ended up buying Rohana RFX5s though I do not like them as much. But all my other choices were either not avaiable in 22s or have really late delivery.

Your setup looks amazing!Haha; yep; the Michelin 4S tires were $2,562 shipped from Tirerack
Couple more photos in different angles to see how the flush, wide fitment bring those wide hips to light. All teslas have wide hips, but the design of the X kind of accentuates that property well.

Hi all,

Brixton Forged WR7
22x11.5 on all 4
offset: 19
Would these setting to be too aggressive? Thank you all in advance for any input.
Best,
John

Website has no pricing. What would the cost be of this EXACT setup, wheels and tires?
I am looking to get the CMST wide body kit and I was told it will add around 30 to 40mm each corner
