Show off your aftermarket wheels.

Looks like you are right. So there are two different "Tempest" wheels, with two different styles and two different offsets. In true Tesla style, making it easy on the consumer to swap stuff out.

Not sure if anyone cares, but I can confirm the pre-refresh Tempest Aerocaps also fit on the refresh Cardenio wheels.

Here are my Vossen HF-5 21x9.0 +30, 21x10.5 +38 on Michelins 245/35/21 and 285/30/21. Car is lowered on modified factory air suspension and no rub issues with passengers loaded. Question: Do you guys think I can go 295/30 for the rear or will there be rubbing against the fender?

Looks good! I ran 255/30 22 and 295/25 22 with no rubbing issues, so on 21's you should be fine with 295/30 21 in the rear.

Cool just checking if anyone actually ran 295s on the rear as I researched and found most did my setup with 285/30.

Wow @mrj25 - your car, with those wheels/wrap/chrome delete, is STUNNING. Apologies in advance for if and when I DM you asking questions about where you got the wrap done etc.

I think you have that backwards, right?

Pre-refresh was Cardenio, refresh is Tempest?

Once again replying to my own question:

Tempest wheels for the refreshed Model S are these:

Model S 19" Tempest Wheel and Winter Tire Package

For me, the benefit is that I like these enough that I don’t feel the need to spend the money for Arachnid (or aftermarket) 20s or 21s…for now.

Pre-refresh wheels and covers were called Tempest. Post-refresh, the wheels are now Cardenio and they have a darker Tempest cover (but interchangeable). And Tesla refers to the winter wheel package as Tempest wheels even though they are actually Cardenio wheels and don't even come with the Tempest covers... Clear as mud.

From the Parts catalog (also owner's manual) for the post-Refresh:

I guess regardless of what they're called, this is what they actually look like:

This matters to me because I don't actually like the other wheel, whatever its name is.

Just received this photo from my Tesla rep of the standard 19" wheel on the refreshed Model S (photo taken of a car ready for delivery):

Tesla's build order form for the Model S calls the base wheels "Tempest"...:

Looks like you are right. So there are two different "Tempest" wheels, with two different styles and two different offsets.
In true Tesla style, making it easy on the consumer to swap stuff out.

The new 19" wheels are listed as Cardenio in the Owners manual. The width of the Cardenio wheel is much wider than the early Tempest wheels.

Guys its taking me a while to get some pics, sorry they aren't great pics but its something. Here the rim option I went with.
Marquee M1000, Fronts-9X20 +38 offset, Rear-10.5X20 +38 offset. I hade the bolts powder coated red to match the car paint, and I added the Pic of the rear window spoiler that I made for it, I wanted to add something extra to the car for fun.

 

[hawkdriver9]

sorry I know these are not great pics of the rims, its hard to get the right angle on black rims but you can kinda get the idea. I really love these rims and there is not rubbing issues and they are about as flat as you can get without rubbing. Next project is painting the rotors black. Rusty steel rotor is NOT a good look next to shinny rims
