DESIGNED AROUND THE CAR: TESLA MODEL S PLAID × FACEWHEELS FW115-M 21"
The Tesla Model S Plaid is defined by a smooth fastback silhouette and the understated authority of a high-performance electric sedan.
For this build, FACEWHEELS FW115-M custom forged wheels were specified in Satin Gunmetal, with a 21 × 9.5J front / 21 × 10.5J rear fitment.
The objective was not to overwhelm the original design. It was to give the vehicle a clearer stance, stronger wheel-to-body proportion and a finish that feels intentional from every viewing angle.
ORANGE × SATIN GUNMETAL
The relationship between the orange exterior and the Satin Gunmetal wheels establishes the visual direction of the complete build.
The restrained gunmetal tone controls the intensity of the orange body and allows the red brake calipers to appear as a focused accent.
Changes in daylight reveal different parts of the combination. Raised spoke surfaces catch more light, recessed areas remain darker and the body color continues to frame the wheel without losing its own identity.
FACEWHEELS FW115-M — SCULPTED FOR DEFINITION
The FACEWHEELS FW115-M uses an open, motorsport-inspired spoke structure that places emphasis on strength, depth and brake clearance.
That geometry gives the wheel a clear identity at a distance and more detail at close range. The design remains open enough to preserve depth around the brakes, while its transitions create a strong connection between the center and the outer rim.
Rather than acting as a separate decorative element, the wheel introduces structure beneath the body and gives the lower half of the vehicle a more deliberate technical character.
21 × 9.5J FRONT / 21 × 10.5J REAR — PROPORTION WITH PURPOSE
The staggered 21 × 9.5J front and 21 × 10.5J rear configuration fills the Model S arches with a balanced performance proportion.
Diameter and width work together here. The wheel fills the arch with the correct visual scale, while the tire remains an active part of the composition instead of disappearing beneath an oversized rim.
The result is a fitment that looks considered from the side, front three-quarter and rear three-quarter views.
SATIN GUNMETAL REVEALS THE FORM
Satin Gunmetal changes naturally as light moves across the wheel.
Direct light emphasizes edges and raised surfaces. In shade, the design becomes deeper and more unified. This variation allows the wheel to retain its dimensional character without relying on excessive decoration.
The finish also makes the design easier to read in motion, where the spoke pattern and the outer edge form a clear graphic relationship with the body above them.
BUILT AROUND THE TESLA MODEL S PLAID
A successful wheel package is defined by the complete relationship between diameter, width, spoke shape, brake clearance and the position of the wheel within the bodywork.
For this Tesla Model S Plaid, the FACEWHEELS FW115-M setup was selected to support the vehicle's existing proportions rather than replace them with a generic visual formula.
The completed stance feels integrated because the wheel design, finish and sizing all respond to the same body. Nothing appears isolated from the vehicle around it.
FORGED TO STAND APART
The FACEWHEELS FW115-M gives the Tesla Model S Plaid a more individual presence through proportion, surface detail and finish.
Its design adds definition where the body is clean, depth where the exterior surfaces are broad and a stronger connection between the vehicle and the road.
The result is purposeful, balanced and unmistakably custom.
