Tesla creates new wheels that would look good on a 928
These looks awesome. They are 5x120mm bolt spacing and I think 40mm offset. Could they work?

I too am waiting for final production of the new phone dials. And i don't know why I thought our wheels were 5x120. Woops. Oh well, I saw them and thought they looked like they were inspired a bit by he turbo twists. However Don you make a great point. That is pretty hilarious haha.

Those Tesla wheels remind me of the SLR McLaren rims:

They look like a cheap knockoff of the Mercedes wheel. The Benz version looks good on the SLR....nothing else, and would look ridiculous on a 928.
The 928 is a simple, clean design and needs wheels to compliment this.

My knee jerk was Lorinsers, but yeah, the SLR wheels are close too. Weird, though, Mercedes' PCD is 5 x 112.
A neighbor just picked up a Model S Performance, gonna have to figure out between what speeds I can take him with the stroker, am afraid that the number may be above 80 or 100. The thing is a freaking freight train.
Many, many Model S's on the roads around here, I see at least 5 a day. Good looking beastie, too.

Looks very similar to the Lorinser LM6 and like the Enkei WDM. I did a quick mock-up once upon a time....
Edit: Well, I guess several of us were typing at the same time! Rob's cleaner Lorinser looks like it!

I believe the above image is a rendering. There are some details in this picture that are not consistent with the production versions of the car. The tail lights are the most obviousj, the body colored door handles another.
