So awesome! Thanks! Apparently I need to spread some rep around more before giving you more. Sorry! ;-)

That exceeds the scope of my Photoshop skills unfortunately. Sorry. With the dark wheels, I was able to extract the wheels out as objects with some work using the PS selection tools, then just adjust the brightness of the wheel layers. But even then I had to do some manual tweaks with the paintbrush to darken some areas that wouldn't darken with the standard brightness/contrast tools. I'm sure someone could do a better job on this than I and may be able to adjust the color balance of the wheels to turn the silver to gold (sounds like transmutation to me).Any chance you could do a gold or bronze wheels on the red and black? I'm considering aftermarket wheels.
I'm sure there are all kinds of color options when you powder coat. I don't know if anyone would be able to do an exact color match but they can probably come close. And speaking of red brake calipers, some folks do this coloring via powder-coating as well (it's a whole lot cheaper than the $20K for the "P" upgrade)!Looks so good. I would want mine to match paint, or near thereto, as opposed to black. (Dark Grey) you'll see the red brakes from a mile away
Thanks for posting this. I'm about to put in my order for MX so this is very useful. Could you post a titanium color w/black 20" wheels?
Also, I'm asssuming these are true black and not the actual "carbon" color offered by Tesla? If you can do their "carbon" that would be awesome.
I ordered a midnight with black wheels (22") (arriving late april, early may). I went in to test drive the Model X's in Atlanta (decatur actually) but the one they *told* me was midnight looked WAY lighter than what I see on the website and in the pics. I assume your top picture (#103277) in the above is correct version of midnight silver since that it exactly what I want as I didn't like the lighter one. Any way for me to confirm. I *think* they didn't have midnight and the swatches on the wall are so small its hard for me to imagine. Any idea which color would be *silver* but not as dark for comparison. It seems like Silver would be it but this one looked more gray and a bit darker than what silver looks like in the picturesAsk and you shall receive. And here are the rest of the colors too. I didn't do Signature Red because I don't have access to that, but if someone wants to send me a full resolution screen shot of the sig red with 20-inch wheels (full side view), I'd be happy to do that one too. Would need to be someone who has access to the Signature or Founders design studio.
You can move your mouse over each of these to see the color and click to enlarge to full size.

Yes, the one you pointed out is midnight silver, but that's a render from the design studio not a "real" picture. There are midnight silver and regular (metallic) silver. Silver metallic is the bright metallic silver which you see on a lot of cars. There's no mistaking that for midnight silver, which is substantially darker.I ordered a midnight with black wheels (22") (arriving late april, early may).

I've never used them but have heard good things about these two places in Queens:Your efforts are much appreciated. So sorry the X won't fit your driveway. I have a blue P90DL with the 20
wheels in NYC. Do you or anyone else have suggestions for powder coating the 20" wheels? I have one estimate for $1500 that seems a little spendy.
OK, here are most of the colors in a rear 3/4 view with a mocked up black 20-inch stock wheel, such as you can get from after market powder coating (or, in this case, Photoshop ). Enjoy!

I took a metallurgy course in Uni and from my understanding the heat shouldn't be much of a problem.I've been thinking of powdercoating my wheels in black as well, but I have heard that the heat during powdercoating can weaken the structure of the wheels. Is it true?
