Need two unbuckled Model S wheels 19”
Discussion
Sorry if there’s already a thread or a wiki on how to find spares but I’m blowed if I can find it.
I’ve found out that the vibration I’ve had since I bought the car 6 months ago is due to two buckled front wheels. Obviously ‘the bay’ has a few which are apparently refurbished but how straight would they be???
Anyone got any known good ones or suggest where I can find some without paying Tesla a million pounds each?

I’d never heard of that being successful - mostly people have said it can’t be done properly. Is it a real thing then with no serious issues down the line?
It's worked for me. I had 2 of my 21" Tesla slipstreams welded and unbuckled and they are still perfect 20,000 miles later. They showed me the buckle and I watched them take it out, it was quite impressive stuff.Gassing Station | Tesla | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
