    Saw a Mercedes just last week with those exact wheels.

    Call me picky, but having 9 spokes and 5 lug nuts just bothers me. Symmetry, please!

    I think these resemble more Tesla's rims

    Nice find! TM's wheels have lugs that are part of the "root" of every other turbine "blade". And the end of these blades are flush with the edge, where TM's only have one point (the leading edge of the "blade") touching the edge of the rum.

    How about using Losinger 20 " with fitted tires ?

    Anyone can confirm if Model S has a 5x112 bolt pattern. When will we get such detailed specs ?

    I have an occasion to buy these for cheap ...

    Model S bolt pattern is 5 x 120 with a 40mm offset.

    I'm looking to trade my 19" all-weather tires/rims for dark gray 21". Anybody out there looking for all-weather trade?

    I am interested in trading the gray 21" set standard on Performance for the all-season 19". Where are you located? My Tesla will be in BC, Canada.
