Painting my Tesla wheels black

Thinking of blacking out my Tempest wheels (either paint, Plasti-Dip, or powder coat). Anyone done this before? Would love to see pics of how it turned out, especially if it's just the machined face and the spokes stay silver! TIA!

Following this thread! I'm looking to plasti-dip mine but I'm still contemplating which color I should go.

I haven't seen the wheel covers either, but I've heard the Gemini wheels underneath are identical to the Model Y's. I saw someone on Twitter who painted theirs black, and they looked pretty cool. It might be a good option if you're looking to change the look of your car without going too crazy.

Blackout Tempest wheels sounds awesome! I’ve seen some people use Plasti-Dip as a temporary solution, it’s budget-friendly and removable if you change your mind. Powder coating is the way to go, for a more durable and polished look. It holds up better to wear and tear, especially if you’re driving in rough conditions. If you’re considering a two-tone look (black face with silver spokes), powder coating shops can definitely handle that. Powder coating is a more permanent option, but it’s worth it for a professional finish. Two-tone designs look super sleek on Tempests, go for it!

I have done this on a set of Tempest wheels. They look awesome in satin black.
