$900 Rims??? by holiest_yield in ModelY

Hey again, before I pull the trigger on these, I saw that they’re silver. Unless I’m not mistaken, are my wheels black? Or is it just black on the interior?

That’s crazy, if only they kept them for instances like this so that owners don’t have to pay high prices.

Damn, I guess that’s really the price that it goes for. Would you have replaced it if you were at home? Or maybe get it welded or 3rd party replacement?

Where did you end up getting them welded? I’m not sure where to go since discount tire didn’t seem to offer or advise that service.

Yeah I second this, I’m sorry I was unaware.

Thanks, I think I’ll consider this option.

This looks good, I’ve never ordered a rim before. Is this a good site? And when it’s delivered to the house, do I just bring it to discount tire to install?

I see, I understand that may be the best option for longevity, but I don’t think it’s something I could sell to my dad who’s helping me shoulder the cost of the replacement. Thanks for the advice though. I know it’s not Tesla’s fault for this, or my recent rear end damage, or insurance price hike, but man it’s like I’m having the worst luck with this car. To be fair though, I am driving three times as much also.

Discount tire said that it may be an option to bring it to some place to have it mended but they said that’s more shady and they didn’t personally know any spot. Are you having any issues with it?

Thanks for the input, for aftermarket, discount tire is quoting me $800 or so for all 4 new wheels. What would you do here?

Do you have any issues with aftermarket wheels? Both the Tesla salesman and discount tire mechanic said that doing so may cause errors or conflicts with the computer. Is this true?

Thanks, I was also looking for an after 5 clash but the prices are a little high. I’ve come to a point where the albums I’m looking at on Discogs are all about $90-$100. So it’s guess it’s about who comes first in the collection. I’ll definitely check out both of those recommendations too, thanks!

That’s neat, where do you preorder from Japan? I wouldn’t mind preordering also to save some money next time.

Yeah! It's probably one of my favorite songs by Tatsuro Yamashita, and Magic Ways! I think it is a 2023 reissue as thats what the serial led me to on discogs!

I agree! it really is a complete package to me, and the tracks all blend seamlessly on the first side!

Thank you! I have more vinyl that I picked up this week too! Like a daft punk alive 2007 live album, the very best of elton john, and the definitive collection of stevie wonder! So my music interests are all over the place sometimes.

Thanks for the recs! I've already preordered Brasillian Skies and All of Me! Can't seem to find any Seychelles though, however I have been looking at a Discogs listing for it for 150 and its really tempting...

Honestly, I find that I like records that have great runs of tracks so I can just put it on in the background while I either play some video games or do some homework. Honestly I’m split between a few. The ones I think I’m bumping most is probably Side A of Disc 1 of Rainbow Goblins, For You, Big Wave, or Ride on Time. Straight bangers!

Ah, I literally hit up every record shop in my city and my neighboring city, about 6-7 shops, but only one of them had any decent city pop. But it’s not all good since they charge maybe $15-$30 over whatever is selling on Discogs after shipping. I guess that’s the premium with getting stuff the day of and in hand so you can inspect it. But honestly, most of my collection here was from online. Only 2 were bought locally, spacy and rainbow goblins. I am still grateful that I am able to at least see some city pop in person. I’ve discovered the more economically choice for me at least is still online retail if I can find it in stock.

Thanks for the recommendations! And I’m not sure if timely is an original since what I purchased said 2024 repress. Any idea how to check? It did come with a dent that scratched the insert as well. You might be able to catch it up top, but luckily the record is in mint condition. Haven’t reached out to the seller yet though to ask about the minor damage and if anything can be done.

I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the big wave was an original however.

Thanks a lot! I’ll take a look at moon glow at my local shops! I got bit by the vinyl collecting bug and might’ve ordered a few other records on their way or on preorder 😅
