I actually bought from this place via Ebay... I asked them to powder coat the wheels, which they did for small fee, and the wheels were OEM and completely looked new (well refurbished). I recommend them.

As for wheel choice: I'd say the 20 inch as recommended above or a cyclone 19' wheel.. you can get any wheel in black if that's what you prefer

Hi there

1. What size tires do you have?
2. Please post some pics of your car. I want to see what the car looks like - the gap between the wheels and the fender lip.
3. Also do you have air suspension and what is your normal setting (so when I see the pictures I will know what I am looking at).

Thanks!

I do not have air ride. You can find a used set for cheap since the model x owners upgrade to the 22" , just need to change the tires i changed them to 245/40/20 front and 275/35/20 rear and fills it in very nice no rubbing at all and all of the model x tire pressure sensors work with the model s

Nice pics. Anyone bought these from evwheeldirect...20" black for $300 a wheel?

They look fantastic!! Thanks for sharing.

Do you think 285's would fit on the rears or is 275 the max?

 

[arvinbabaian]

285's will definitely fit there is someone else running those tires with this set up and no issues

I bought my wheels from evwheeldirect. I like the turbine design better than the OEM Slipstream design. I bought the Metallic Grey color wheels.

Another +1 for 20" Model X Slipstreams! Here's a pic of mine:

I run 245/40/20 and 275/35/20. Absolutely love this look and the driving characteristics! I recommend them to everyone!

Just stunning!! Do you have the air suspension?

Can you please post some more pics from other angles? If possible can you take one from really really low to the ground from behind that shows how wide the wheels look from behind? Thanks!

Beautiful, do the model X rims require you to run staggered tires. This always makes rotations and tire wear tricky. Would it be possible to run 245/40/20 on all tires?

 

[arvinbabaian]

No the model x wheels are staggered, fronts are 20x9 and rears are 20x9.5

Has anyone fit 295 tires on 21" rears?
I have new 21X10.5 +38 Klassen wheels and would like to put 295s on my new S.

Jesus, how many Tesla's does a person need?

 

[Zap Zap]

Are you suggesting I have a problem dark cloud? The first thing is to acknowledge if you have a problem which I absolutely do not.... haha. So keen to hear if anyone has fitted 295s on an S before.

 

[dark cloud]

I found a hoodie for you @Zap Zap .

You think for the picture of their product they would at least have a good one with no visible blemishes.

Everyone understands these are refurbished wheels; where no-one knows how much curb damage may be bondoed and covered up. As long as the wheel did not have too much of the lip repaired, and it is straight and true, and will balance properly at high speeds it should be fine. I know some refurb companies check every wheel for runout to make sure it is not bent, not sure about these guys but I would check it out.

And there were numerous problems with warping rotors on many threads; part of the problemTesla claims was the painted backs of their stock wheels where it mounts the hub as the braking heat could not transfer to the wheel and dissipate, so remove all paint on that area before mounting.
