BLACK WIDOW - RTXWheels

They were pretty inexpensive too...about $150.00 per rim. I found one of the dealers off the manufacturer website somewhat near me, and they took my OEM tires and sensors off my tesla rims and put them on the RTX rims.

Thank you!

Astriel. The wheels look great but they need to be bigger with thinner rubber. I'm just posting what everyone is thinking. It looks like a go cart. You need to have a talk with your wheel guy.

19" Forgestar CF5V in rear (staggered 8.5/ 9.5, 255/285) - 20" BC Forged RS41 in front (square 8.5 w/255) ...all on RE71R tires

#oldgodzilla, a part of me wants to know what those wheels are, but I might be tempted to get them. On my third set already, 19 inch base, 19 inch chromed wheels, now staggered arachnids. Love the look but 21 inch is a noticeably rougher ride. Yours look to be 19s.

They are 19". I had the shop move my 19" OEM tires from my Tesla rims onto the RTX Black Widow rims about 2 days after I took delivery of my car

I thought the Arachnids were best wheels out there, but just might have to get me a set of the RTX black widows.

Arachnids are better wheels they are forged ...you should just powder coat

I know you’re not serious about putting $450 wheels on a high-end and incredibly heavy car.

#logan, you say that like it’s a bad thing. Do you know something about these wheels that I do not? I was quoted $190 per wheel delivered.

You have forged wheels which are the best type of manufactured wheels you can get ...the process makes the wheels lighter and stronger ...what @logan is saying is those RTX are machined wheels ..hence the lower price and quality ..I guess the rhetorical question is why you would want to change from some good wheels to something not so good ? If just for color powder coating is good option for your current wheels

I did not have arachnids, I only had the cast oem rims that came on the car, so I just replaced them with the black widow rims which are also cast. I figured, if the cast oem rims are good enough for my car, then a better looking set of cast rims for my car were also good enough. I also did not want to spend tons of money replacing perfectly acceptable rims.

I can't speak to the arachnids, I'm sure they are super duper awesome and also a lot of people have them, etc, but I decided to go with rims that I thought looked really nice on my car and were a little more unique.

It's completely up to you @Stan Moraski , cast rims and forged rims both have their pros and cons. I suggest you go with whatever you think looks good and you are happy with because in the end it's what make you feel good/happy about the look of your car.

I have to disagree with you. the Arachnids IMO are the best looking wheels available on the Tesla model S. The Arachnids look like $500 wheels, those RTX look like $200 wheels. And looks aside, it would drive me nuts cleaning those small openings with a small brush every time the car is washed.

 

[oldgodzilla]

That's some pretty serious skills to be able to determine what the price of a wheel is by looks alone. I apologize for being so gauche as to be happy with my $200 rims and want to share it with others on the forum. Maybe we can rename this thread to the "Show off your arachnid rims" or "Show off your aftermarket wheels, as long as they cost $500 or more per rim - No stank ass low-class rims plz"

Posted these in another thread but forgot to put it here: Vossen 22" wagon wheels. No trouble yet on the cheese grater streets of Houston.

In case you can't be bothered to read the thread title, this particular discussion you have staggered into is for people to:
Show off your aftermarket wheels. It does come across as a bit incognizant to start throwing shade at people who do exactly what was asked in the thread title. Post up a picture of your own ride there hero. Let's see what you've got.
