TSportline added their logo to all their wheels - voice your disappointment!

[ranova]

Saw in a reddit thread that TSportline decided to add their logo to their wheel lineup. I was going to get some Arachnid replicas for my 3 but now I'm probably looking for a different wheel elsewhere.

I would ask everyone to voice their opinions by tweeting them, whether or not you were going to buy their wheels or not or already have a set from them. It's ridiculous to expect to advertise for them when you're spending over 1.2k+ USD for their wheels. I have already tweeted at them (as many others) and will be voting with my money. But if they start doing this, it might not be too far off before other Tesla-specific wheel manufacturers start adding their logos on their wheels as well.

EVWheeldirect sells replica turbines, but I might find something more unique unless TSportline removes the terrible logo in future batches for the arachnid reps, soon.

I noticed the logo when they announced their new TSS wheels in the 18" size. I just purchased some Titan7 T-S5 wheels and Titan7 has their logo on the wheel also.

I’m not a fan of logo’s on the wheel rim. Center cap logos are fine and expected.

 

[Kuhz]

I agree. Dumb idea @Tsportline

Looks horrible. Talk about narcissistic, I hate when companies think they have the right to advertise like this. Leave it on the center caps and let people decide to keep them or not.

Was going to buy a set of their wheels for my upcoming Model 3, won't be doing that now.

Man that is ugly, not a fan of their rims to begin with but that would certainly seal the deal to never get them.

 

[HankLloydRight]

Doesn’t really bother me.. I’d buy their wheels again if the price and performance are competitive (I did buy their original 19” matte black Turbine lookalike wheels back in 2014).

 

[mswlogo]

Ugly for sure.

Their whole basis for existence was to offer OEM looking wheels.

Doesn’t look like it will help any with balance or cleaning either.

 

[TMThree]

That looks horrible. I would never buy rims like that. My current aftermarkets have no mention of brand.

If you're going to slap a giant logo to the rim, there better be a discount for the advertising. Then again, I left my hood debadged after ppf.

If they are going to do that, it should be a more subtle etching that doesn't impact the consistent shape of the wheel. As pictured, it is improperly (imo) raised and excessively bold.

I'm glad I bought my 19 inch turbines before they did this. They were expensive and this ugly ad would have killed the deal.

I was going to get a set of 18" TSS, but this breaks it for me. I was willing to wait on their backorder and pay their shipping, but is ruins the look.

 

[Sclew]

Just don’t buy. They’ll understand. They’re too expensive for oem replicas anyway.

 

[dwalme]

Was about to buy the 18" TSS or TST wheels for winter wheels.

None of the pictures of the wheels on the cars have the logo. I just caught the logo on one of the pictures of the wheel by itself.

I don't mind their logo somewhere on the wheel but not like they did it. Looks terrible.

Sad but all too common, especially when a manufacturer notices clones, knock off copies etc and tries to fight them this way.

Same happened to many mud flap and carpet liner products which now come with large or etched logos.

Labels and free advertising be d... No namet tagless brandless products should be the norm.

Um.. TSportline wheels ARE clones... so... I'm not sure why they would find the need to protect THEIR clones.

 

[jelloslug]

Looks gaudy. I noticed that recently when I was looking at their latest wheels.

 

[Adam3]

Lame, looks tacky.

In that case its just tacky lame forced advertising. Perhaps desperate times call for desperate measures, who knows, who cares.
