    I'm going to be turning in my Model S lease in a few months and will probably get another one. I don't really like the looks of the current 19" wheels and because I live in Pa (Pothole City) I'm a little concerned about getting the 21" wheels. I'm thinking of maybe getting some aftermarket 19" or, possibly, 20" wheels.

    Any recommendations for reasonably priced aftermarket wheels?

    Thanks!

    That's a good question. I saw some that were $1,000 a wheel. To me, that seems like too much.

    Also, because i went from silver to grey, i had to find grey center caps.... dont waste your time online if you need center caps, just call your SC and they will sell them for 15$ a piece... i had paid 120$ online for silvers in the past, the last thing i expected was Tesla to be the cheapest place for center caps but they had no problem getting them for me...63$ out the door for 4.

    I live in PA running 22”. Just pay attention and keep the tires inflated. No problem.

    If you’re willing to spend the money buy forged. If a pothole does manage to bite it the rim is more likely to just bend instead of shatter.
