A little write up and you can click the little picture to get a bigger clearer version of the car.
Besides his involvement in different charity organizations, Farmar also is the founder of Hoop Farm, a children’s basketball camp at UCLA which he leads that promotes eco-friendly behavior.

What would've been cheesy is if he'd gotten those wheels painted in Clippers colors.

I'd be more impressed with custom Carbon Fiber or Magnesium wheels. _________________ Resident Car Nut.

Who cares, its not like he takes his car on lengthy road trips. He probably just drives from his home to the practice facility or arena.

There are companies who will pimp your Tesla for a fee now. Some will tune it for maximum performance as well.

Tesla Model S and this kind of modification don't exactly seem harmonious.

Modifying electric cars in this way seems counterintuitive.
Saleen effectively shortened the range of a Model S by raising the final drive ratio for quicker acceleration.
But since it's just one gear, the car is buzzing several thousand rpm more at freeway speeds.
Modding electric cars is going to be about weight reduction, aerodynamic improvements, regenerating under braking, "boost", and tires. _________________ Resident Car Nut.

The name of the cheesy wheel company is way more offensive to the Tesla, than the POS wheels.
