All four Plasti Dipped for $180Per wheel? Or total?
Here's the thing, I have no idea what I would have gotten with the OEM wheels and tires as I replaced them when the car had about 250-300 miles. The only time it was fully charged was at the dealer before I took delivery. My driving mainly consists of 50% around town and 50% highway. I generally see anywhere from 255 to 275 miles when I fully charge the car. I just charged the car last night as I am leaving for Sacramento this morning to visit friends. This will be the first time I will be mostly driving on the highway and I will have to charge the car tonight when I return home as this will be about a 240 mile round trip.Very nice. Curious what you are seeing in loss in range with the larger tires.
They are just over 2 1/2" or 66mm. I buy these gloss black caps and cut off the clips on the back so the cap is completely flat then I silicone them in place from behind. They are easy to remove when you have to take them off. https://www.ebay.com/itm/164601696649@markboris, I've been talking to Terrance about a set of wheels, but I have to ask, what is the OD of your center caps. I don't want to use the aftermarket ones that would come with the wheels.
Thanks for sharing. As far as you know, are the center bores on the Signature wheels consistent across the line? I know I could ask Terrance, but maybe you know already.They are just over 2 1/2" or 66mm.

All the Signature Wheels I have purchased have the same size OUTER center bore with the same Signature caps. The inner bore is custom sized for the hub of the car it is designed for. For instance the Mach-E has 63.4mm hubs.Thanks for sharing. As far as you know, are the center bores on the Signature wheels consistent across the line?

I already picked a wheel, but he made a color suggestion and now I'm trying to figure out what I should do. My initial plan was gloss black. He thinks this one would make the CG pop. It may limit me to the Signature center caps, however.
First world problems.
Thanks for your thoughts, Mark. I'm actually starting to lean toward the lighter color instead of the gloss black. I love the way yours looks, and I think it totally works with IB and see what you're saying about the OEM look, but I think that Terrance is right about the lighter color bringing out the color of the car more. If I go dark, the whole bottom side of the car kind of disappears with all the gloss black trim. I called him up last night after he sent me some other photos, and he picked up as he was getting off a plane in Ohio. We talked for maybe 10 minutes about the design and I agreed to narrow the colors down to the one he shared with me and gunmetal. I just need to see them side by side to decide what to do.All the Signature Wheels I have purchased have the same size OUTER center bore with the same Signature caps.

I see what you are saying about the center caps and the color. Ford also has gray and silver center caps but none will match that Signature color that Terrance was recommending. I would go with what you want to go with. I have seen some awesome wheel colors on cars he has done but I am more of a simple/plain/OEM look kind of guy. I like my wheels to look like they could be optional OEM wheels.
I can see that the lighter colored wheels would look cool on your car. I only went with lighter wheels one time and it was on my Ingot Silver Escape and they looked really good.Thanks for your thoughts, Mark.

He's very passionate about the business and I appreciate the consultative approach he has. I know some people are fine with just making a choice based on what they see in a catalog on TireRack, and that's cool, but there's something nice about knowing I'm putting wheels on this car that were made specifically for it, not boxed up to be on just anything.
