Actually think it looks kind of good here. I really like those wheels too haha. Is it possible to reach into the bed from the side?

They are T Sportline wheels. They appear to make wheels exclusively for Teslas, and also appear to have purposely designed their logo to be easily confused with the Tesla logo.

I have to agree. I've never put aftermarket rims on a car, but if I drove a Tesla I 100% would...none of the factory rims look good.

wow shows how much looks are subjective. All the factory wheels I have seen on Teslas looks good imo.

I think he may be referring to the Aero covers, as they in most cases cover the Rims

The regular ones or whatever look like hubcaps to me.

I think it's more for the look, not protection. PPF is usually clear, this is more like wrap

Sounds like the aftermarket is slightly ahead of production...
