If the backpad of any wheel (either custom forged or cast) does not have enough pocketing area (or none whatsoever), the wheel will not sit flush to the rotor. You can see the outlines of the factory Tesla wheel pockets between each stud in the attached picture.
The result of a non-pocketed wheel is a warped rotor. How do you know you have a warped rotor? When you hard brake at relatively high speeds 45mph+, your brake pedal will stutter/vibrate.
How do you fix this? Go to a service center and spend $1000+ for 4 new rotors and labor.

I have heard that this bolt is a convenience to keep rotors from falling off on the assy line. another post somewhere in here said they are not required

Anyone have rims similar to XIX exotic X15 wheels? wondering how these would look on a Model S.

My wheels are here. Thank you to @Josh@GYW for helping me with the order and also to Avant Garde. And also to Ship2Blaine's parcel delivery service for storing my wheels until I crossed the border. I had told Josh I'd be getting them Sunday but I got too impatient. Now time for the installation.
I let the centre cap float there until I get it installed onto the car. These are forged F221 wheels with gloss brushed grigio face, chrome lip, and red hardware.
