i would prefer (4) 20x9's and then mount staggard tires since I always (champ does the same) purchase an extra wheel for "back-up" just in case a wheel is damaged beyond repair since wheel manufactures notoriously drop/add new wheel styles to their line-up and I would hate not having a spare replacement should the unfortunate need arise.

Here is an old pic that I thought you might enjoy of this "horse-and-buggy" RUF, 580+hp, 2500# and change, air-cooled, rear engine, with 2 large intakes in the tail (but hard to see from this angle), requiring much skill to drive at the limit ("D" (except a few) and Godzilla owners need not apply and makes "Yellowbird" look slow) built for/formerly owned by fashion designer/car collector extroidinare RL that will SHAG easily to 200+ (so I have heard, lol) :biggrin:

Nice RUF ... I always loved the wide-body cars with the flared fenders.
I just returned from the Rennsport reunion at Laguna Seca last weekend.

Silly question. Will the OEM Tesla Cap fit in the Axis MS 21" wheels?

Yes.

can the Telsa Original TPMS sensors be moved into these rims ... so does one need to purchase the TireRack versions ?

OE sensors will fit fine, no worries !

Any package deal on the Axis?

 

[doc@tirerack]

Piney, while we do not have any discounts for wheels and tires when purchased together we always offer free Road Force balancing with every order.

What size tire is recommended for 20"x9, standard suspension? And any specific brand/model you'd recommend? Thanks

What are you looking for ... performance, all season or winter tires?

 

[Cmer]

I'd use these rims in the summer (Toronto) and keep my OE 19" for winter driving.

So I guess "all season" is the answer? I'm not interested in tires that wear really quickly.

The recommended Tire Sizes: 245/40-20″ for 20×9.0″ wheels and 275/40-20″ for 20×10.0″ wheels.
For all season tires, take a look at the Hankook VENTUS S1 NOBLE2 and Continental EXTREMECONTACT DWS.

 

[Cmer]

Thanks a lot

 

[doc@tirerack]

For the 20x9" wheel, the 245/40R20 size where you need to be. As mentioned above, either the Continental or the new BF Goodrich GForce Comp2 A/S are good handling (but all season capable) options

Any photos of these anywhere in silver? thanks.

 

[doc@tirerack]

OK, quick update.. Tire Rack has marked down the 21x9 (Black with Machined Face, Bright Silver and Titanium Gunmetal finishes) and 21x10 (Titanium Gunmetal only) for Clearance. I'll stress that the durability of the wheels has been great, but we are just moving away from the 21" diameter as a category so both this design and the Axis Allies are marked down) Get 'em while they last !

would these also fit the model 3 AWD (axis MS), looking at the 19.x8.5 and 19x10 staggered setup. Also what do these weigh?

 

[FlatSix911]

The Model S wheels will not fit on a Model 3 due to a different bolt pattern... details here:

thanks for the response, so I guess Tirerack is wrong unless they made a specific wheel for the model 3 then

Tirerack now has a dozen Axis wheels that will fit the Model 3...
