Orko Recommended Wheels/Specs:

1. Orko SV1 - Available in Gloss Black, Satin Gunmetal, or Gloss Silver

The Orko SV1 is our most popular wheel for Model S, 3, and X owners. Sporting a clean, modern, and aggressive look, you can't go wrong with these wheels. The SV1 is a strong forged monoblock wheel allowing for decreased unsprung weight, and a wheel that will hold up durability-wise. Due to the weight decrease, you can expect more range than any factory Tesla wheel.
