Tesla Model X Sitting On 22-inch MX5 Wheels from Evannex Is Not That Crazy

We are, of course, dealing with a set of custom wheel for the electric SUV, which come from Evannex. The Florida-based developer has developed these wheels "for the Model X owner who wants to retain factory tire sizes, but gain more functionality by saving weight and retaining maximum range,"

The "factory" part of the description above seems to spread beyond the 22-inch size of the rolling goodies, which mirrors that of the Model X's optional factory wheels (the standard rims of the SUV come in a 20-inch size).

To be more specific, the styling of the MX5 isn't that wild compared to the the design of the factory wheels, but still managed to bring a custom look. And we mean that in a good way, as we've grown tired of seeing so many flashy wheels that beg for attention. Heck, last time we talked about a US wheel developer that had come up with a new product, we saw a ruined LaFerrari.

Miata-like naming aside (MX-5, anybody?) these wheels come in a size of 22x9 inches for the front axle, while the rear axle ones are one inch wider. In case you're wondering, the first type of wheel mentioned here tips the scales at 38 lbs, while the latter comes with a weight of 38.6 lbs.

The forged wheels also allow owners to use the Tesla center caps, factory pressure sensors, as well as the factory lug nuts - yes, the Tesla caps come in the same size, regardless of which factory wheels you go for when purchasing your car.

Depending on your choice of finish, a set of four MX5 wheels will set you back between $6,500 and $9,500. For the sake of comparison, we'll mention that switching from the 20 to the 22-inch wheels when configuring a Tesla Model X means you have to pay $4,500.
