18" Aero wheels and caps vs aftermarket

[Randy-12]

I'm looking into wheels (rims) for my Model 3 RWD.
What compares to the Tesla 18" Aero wheels and caps for aerodynamics?
Looking for the most aerodynamic for the car not necessary the best looking.

Or are the standard 18" from Tesla the most aerodynamic?

Those are probably as close as you'll get to the factory 18" Aeros' efficiency.

The best I know of aftermarket is the FastWheels EV01+, which is as aerodynamic as the factory wheels, not any better or worse. They are a bit lighter, but this mass difference has almost no impact on range. They also come in other sizes than 18" which might be desireable. As always, remember that the primary thing that affects range with wheel/tire packages is the tire, not the wheel. Low rolling resistance tires are the main reason the base wheel/tire packages get better range.

Also if you hate the looks of the silver FastWheels EV01+, they also come in black which I think looks great (seem my avatar!)

These look great: come in black and silver:
