Show off your aftermarket wheels.

[dark cloud]

Ok ok, my apologies. Just trying to show my affection for the Arachnids, which are also not aftermarket wheels, if we really want to get sticky with the post title.

I have no aftermarket wheels, so there you go.

 

[GWord]

Ah, ok. Understand where you're coming from now Dark Cloud; thanks for the explanation.

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"

Hey, man. Don't worry about it. What matters it that YOU like your wheels. I love my wheels and get compliments on them every day. Some of the posters here just like to put others down for whatever reason. I think your wheels look pretty slick.

If everyone had the same style of wheels this thread would be boring.

Here is my setup.

Vossen VFS-2, Satin Bronze, front 9x20 and rear 10x20.
Michelin Pilot Sport 4S, front 245/40R20 and rear 265/40R20.
(with airmatic lowering links)

Very patriotic colour you have there @JzCastle. Nice!

#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.

Well now I feel bad because I did not bother to scroll up and see that someone posted that they actually owned those wheels. I said that because I've seen a few people on car forums have massive issues with them in about 2 years. For example here is one guy whose RTX wheels are corroding. Would never be a dick about whatever wheels someone decides to go with.

Well I guess I'll see how they hold up. Someone commented in that video that theirs look as good as they did 5 years ago.
As with everything on the internet, including reviews on Amazon, I'm sure if you look hard enough you will find people with experiences on both sides of the spectrum for just about any product.

For now, I plan to enjoy them, and if they turn to *sugar* well then I didn't pay a whole lot for them and I have my OEM rims as a fallback.

Looks awesome... any plans of lowering links?

Cheers

So I went back and installed my lowering links and I think it looks pretty good! Thanks for the suggestion.

Tesla X P90D Midnight Silver Metallic with Niche one pie forged Monobloc Vicenza 22" x 9" and 10". I can feel how much lighter that are than my factory bone forged Tesla wheels.

By the way if you have a Tesla 3 or S and want to trade text me 6027155476

Oldie but goodie. . .

I bit the bullet and ordered the black widows for my 19 inch tires. Still in the same genus as Arachnids, just different species. Will post side by side photos once they come in next week.

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.

These look sick! Considering 21" for white model S. Really a great look!

I was a fan of these on white. Here are the same wheels on my previous, white P90D. Probably would have been killer with the chrome darkened out.

I just picked up these Forgestar split forks from Josh Park at Kickstart Motorsports. I was looking for something that wasn't too flashy, and maybe something that Tesla might have done themselves, and still be 19".

... and I'm done. I'm buying stock wheels.

It's been less than a year and I keep having problems. I've had them rebalanced 3 times, are a pita to clean, rob me 10% of my range, and now two of the wheels are slightly out of round causing the car to vibrate. I'm sick of this *sugar*.

The stock wheels may be ugly, but at least they will be reliable and efficient.

Thank you for the heads-up!

i know this is quite old.. but do you have any more pics of your car with these wheels?! love it!

Were these the regular "tinted gloss black" or did you get the custom color of "gloss black"...........they seem very similar to me on the Vossen website. I'm looking at the HF-1 model. Not sure if thats what you have on here but its similar. Looks great!

Thanks! These are HF1 Tinted Gloss Black (TGB). The TGB has a machined face on the tuning fork looking spokes that has a flat look and because of the tool marks, it can appear dark gray. It's a nice contrast. the Gloss Black optional color doesn't have that machined face and instead has a uniform gloss finish.

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

You should be careful as not all cast wheels are the same. Tesla needs 1650lb per wheel rating while the RTX is only rated for 1518lb.
