On a quick look it seems like the "T" is black on the wheels. But I'm still looking.

The T looks good! Would like to see the blacked out chrome stein to match now
Nice idea, but I plan to take it one step further: Tape over the T, paint the whole cap in Tesla red, remove the tape, and end up with T logo in silver on a Tesla red background, just like on the Tesla Motors web site and this one. Would be even more striking and boost the brand even more.
You guys figured it out. It's actually not black but Signature Red to match the car. When I was at the LA service center yesterday getting my StarShield on my hood replaced I was talking to the guys over there to see if they had any touch up paint. They said that there happened to be a Signature Red car at the body shop down the street getting painted to do a minor accident. They called the shop for me and got a small bottle of paint for me to try coloring in the wheel caps. Here's a close up shot. Not perfect but it looks fine from a few feet away.

Noooooooo!! Well, I guess it was bound to happen. I wonder when we'll start seeing pics of wrecked Model S's? :scared:
Is it easy to remove the badge cap on the wheel? I don't know what the real name is for that part of the wheel you had to pop off with the Tesla emblem on it.
I had was thinking of doing it with black-out chrome spray to highlight the Tesla badge on the wheels in the same way--just the emblem, nothing else. I'd have to mask the rest of it with frisket or something to do that though.
Either way, nice job.
Cheers

Nice idea. Wish they came that way from the factory with a nice powdercoating, enamel or ceramic finish, though.

How would masking the Tesla T work, painting it and using a sealant compare?
