19" Turbine Wheel Solution

Anyone with a Sig Red or Red Model S have pictures with either the cyclone rims or aero rims? Trying to decide which to get but may just get the standard 19" rims and save $1,200. The Rials look the best but Tesla won't mount them (could always have them mounted elsewhere of course).
 
Despite TireRack having shipping fees that border on extortion, I'll probably be getting a set of Luganos to use as my winter wheels.

I asked about the breakdown for shipping on a set of wheels and tires as it was about $600 for me. Roughly 300 is shipping, 125 for gst and the rest is duty and brokerage fees. Have gone ahead with the luganos and xice3 for my winter setup.

Yep. It costs about $1000 extra per set of tire/rims to get them from the US (I doubt these fees are unique to TireRack).

When I get mine I'm just ordering the wheels and TPMS (no other shop carries these that I've found) then getting my chosen tires locally (several options here with comparable prices). Saves about half on the fees this way. More complicated, but $500 is $500.
