    Would you buy 19 inch turbine wheels?

    I don't want the 21s, I want 19 inch wheels.
    The roads here are too crappy for 35 profile tires.
    However I do like the turbines.

    Not really. I like the default 19" wheels; seem slick enough for me and appear to be easy to maintain too (in terms of cleaning up the brake dust and such).

    Umm, let's not get too excited folks. If this was gonna be an option it would have shown up by now and it's a little late in the day to think Tesla will produce something overnight.

    If the bolt pattern is the same I will get Lorinser RS8 after market 19 inch turbine wheels. Check it out. I just hope they fit. $1000 each wheel.

    I wonder how big the turbine-wheels on the model-x are! They seem smaller then on model-s, with larger tyre!

    Not sure but it makes sense. The 19 inch wheel and tire combo will weight less than the 21 inch combo and will ultimately increase your range. Assuming they are direct fit, the drawback with going with the 19 inch wheels will be the $4K overall price minus tires as opposed to the $3.5K 21 inch Tesla option.
