As we now have a source for 19" turbine wheels and I'm dealing with the maker, Wolfrace, in the UK, I'm trying to determine how many current and future Model S owners would actually buy these wheels once Wolfrace exports them to the US. See this thread for background information: Would you buy 19 inch turbine wheels?.
The Wolfrace GB Lugano 8.5 X 19 wheels are offered in the two color options below. They are available in a configuration that will fit the Model S: a 5 x 120 bolt pattern, a center bore that with a centering ring will enable them to be accurately and solidly mounted, and offset of 43mm that can be adjusted to the Model S 40mm offset with a 3mm spacer. Both the centering ring and spacer for fitment to the Model S will be supplied with the wheels. The wheels are made in Europe, and the sterling silver has a German TUV (technical safety test and approval) with a 5 year warranty, and the black/polished has a German TUV with a 3 year warranty.
Cost of the wheels at current exchange rates (not including shipping to the US) is $242 each for the Sterling Silver color and $258 each for the black polished.
Based on the linked thread/poll on 19" wheels it would appear that there would be demand for about 80 sets of these wheels. But I think the previous poll only gauges interest. To give Wolfrace more reliable numbers I've added a new poll here to gauge actual intent to purchase. I know such polls are not completely reliable but its the best we can do at this stage. When you vote, make your decision on the basis of purchase intent now (if you've already received delivery) or after you receive delivery.
The are two color options for these wheels. Here are photos as well as links to the GB Lugano wheel pages on the Wolfrace web site:
Sterling silver color: Wolfrace Wheels - Wolfrace GBLugano - sterling silver
Black polished: Wolfrace Wheels - Wolfrace GBLugano - black/ polished
