Tesla Wheels

Found the wheel sizes to be
6j (x16) Fronts
7.5j (X17) Rears
The VX is 5.5j front.
These j numbers mean nothing to me. But there have been a few people asking for 16/17 alternatives, so I'm just putting it out there to see if they're an option?

Just asked a mate who works for Tesla in the UK, what a set of the Forged wheels would cost.
They look like the ones on the orange car... does the cliffhanger of no price mean he's finding out or he has said and its astronomical?
I think those 7400 were on the original Tesla's, they certainly look familiar - certainly look good on that VX imo.

He's investigating... I hope
Either that or he has found out but it too embarrassed to say!

A reply.... Typical American company!

That's a shame. Bloody yanks and their fear of being sued.
Although it does seem like prices would have been pretty high anyway.

Fronts are still too narrow anyway, so think yourself lucky that you can't get any.
What TD's do people tend to run on the fronts then? I'm getting incredibly bored of my understeer.
Should really just book it in for a geo to get rid of some of it but I keep getting distracted by sparkly things.
