We are all under impression those wheels above are under the Aero covers. I think they are fine though. I think I like the F5s the most now.
I don't understand, how can the tires be skinny if the only difference between the 22 and 20 is the aspect ratio ? Aren't they both a 255 width tire ?

Also, has it been confirmed that the stock mags under the ugly plastic covers look like the post above ?? If that's the case, these wheels look good imho...

Yeah. Press Kit confirms it.

These are some fine looking wheels once you remove the ugly covers ! I just wonder if they are really 7.5 inches wide. If both the 20 and 22 have 255 wide tires on them, 7.5 seems way too narrow for this. They should both be the same width... I do agree that the tires on the 20s could be much better though.

Here are general specs for tire to wheel size (different tires will have different specifications):

TIRE SIZEWHEEL MINWHEEL MAXDIAMETERWIDTH
255/50R207"9"30"10"
255/45R228"9.5"31"10"

The 20" should actually have a narrower wheel due to the bigger sidewall. I actually prefer the narrower wheel as it allows the tire to balloon a little more minimizing curb/pothole damage.

Is this good conformation for you? Direct from a fisker Inc post. 20" rims, no covers

Yep, that's great. Now I'm wondering what's the real impact of removing the covers on mileage. Is it 5 miles or is 150? Lol

Shouldn't be significant. If changing from 20 to 22's is only going to have a ~10 mile range impact then removing the aero cover, in my mind should be less than that.

Cool. Now offer them in silver. The black wheel trend is annoying.

So as much as I prefer the look of the 22's - I went with the 20's (with plans to really never keep the aero covers on) for a different reason than originally intended.

Fisker had expected a ~20 mile range impact for the 22's, which was significant enough for me to lean that way initially but upon learning the real world impact, I ultimately decided to stick with the 20's for ride quality.

I live in a very rural area - lots of unpaved and unkempt roads that I drive on with regular basis and from the look of the sidewalls on the 22"s - I can imagine feeling every rock, pothole and crack in my teeth just by looking at them.

I've been curious why so many people have immediately opted for the 22"s knowing that there are impacts both to ride quality but also ongoing costs for the tires themselves.

Thoughts?

As a person who lives in a Northern city riddled with potholes, I also want the 20s. BUT if I was buying a One, I would prob go for the 22s to get bang for the buck. My other guess is that a lot of people live in places with nice roads.

I hear ya...it was a tough decision and as much as I wanted to maximize the value of my One - the Maliblu and Mariana paint along with some other options more than make up for it IMO. I also didn't get the Big Sur Blue for same reason...matte paint + living in the woods = terrible idea.

But - the 22"s are clearly much better looking options. If I lived in a more suburban area, I'd have gone with the F3b SlipStreams for sure.

For the TPMS does anyone know if they are using individual sensors on each tire or the ABS?? And has anyone any clue if they will use individual sensors and if so if you can easily reset them yourselves or you need some fancy reset tool. It would be a PITA to get a second set wheels and need to have them (the service people whoever they may eventually be) reset them each change!
