Custom BBS FI wheels for Tesla
I'm in discussion with BBS (one of the top motorsports wheel manufacturers in the world) about a custom set of wheels for the Tesla Model S.
I've always love the BBS FI design (I have a set for my bmw m3) and figuring out all the dimensions and proper offsets to make it work (both for standard and performance - square and staggered). I'm looking at 8.5x20 and 9.5x20 and possibly 10x20. Standard S' or those who want range efficiency can go 8.5 wide all the way around. Performance and Performance plus and go 9.5 or 10 if we go that wide.
Here is a picture of a 20in BBS FI would look like (20in is the perfect balance between 21 and 19!). These cold forged wheels are extremely lightweight and strong. I estimate about 18 pounds for the front wheel which is insane for a 20in wheel. You'll reduce corner weight by at least 10 pounds.
These will run about $8k per set and I the minimum order is 20 sets!!! So I'm putting out a feeler here to check for interest. Please post if you're interested. Then the next stage if there is enough interest is to start pre-orders (which will be discounted). Once there is enough I'll put in the order.
Lets make this happen! I'm stoked about these rims!
