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.

And I will bet some of my TSLA stock they weight significantly less.

Giving you less rotational inertia.

And if you are "green" or a performance enthusiast that should be important.

Not buying cheeziato wheels to make the cover of Dub magazine.

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.

Farmar's wheels look like 3pc. Different from the photos.

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.

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