A few more pics with a bit more lighting. It would be perfect if Tesla had another 3/4” of a drop.

Thanks, right now it's winters, so 235/45/19 Pirelli Sottoezero iii's. I may go a bit wider for summers.

Thanks. I'm thinking of 245/40-19 for summer, or non-winter seasons. Was talking to Josh about not having the tires poke out too much as that will affect handling. Running Pirelli Sottozero S2 on my 18" OEM for the winter here in UT.
VS Forged VS18 in the Gloss Brushed Bronze finish in a 20X11.5
Wrapped with a 335/25/20. Can you guess what car this will be going on?

CTS-V or Corvette
It COULD work on the CTS-V coupe rear since the width and offset are exactly what we'd do but this one is going on a C5 Corvette w/ wide body rear. Good stuff @N54TT !

I was wrong on my winter's, they are 235/40/19. Pretty sure I'll go 245/40/19 for summer tires. Very minor difference in dimensions/speedo and should offer a bit more rim protection. I normally use Nokian Hakka's for winter. These Sottozero's aren't as grippy in the real nasty stuff, but I do like them better in every other situation and they still do quite well when coupled with Tesla's AWD. Pleasantly surprised at how well they corner and grip in wet and dry. Lower noise as well.

Yeah...that's why I went with Sottozeros. Even though Nokian Hakka R3, or the Michelin X-Ice, would do better in snow, I wanted tires that would do well in wet and dry during the winter here. Hopeful the combination of Sottozeros and TM3's AWD will be more than sufficient in snow. I hit the ski resort (about 25 minutes from my place) once every couple of weeks. The once I did it with the Sottozeros I didn't have any problem -- the car did get a little loose in the icy section, but was not unexpected. Have yet to drive it in real deep, wet snow. That might happen next week.
The all new VS Forged VS19!
A new look at a split 5 spoke design. Looks like a layered 5 spoke rotational wheel.
What do you guys think?

So what's the load rating on these? (i.e. VS08)
Some say they are 1500 lbs but that sounds on the low side to me. Is this correct?

No, each set is specifically engineered for the vehicle's application it is going on.

Anyone interested in buying a set of VS forged....plan for the longer end of estimated delivery time and maybe more. Might have been the end of year that added to the timeframe...but it’s been 7 weeks and my set is still a couple weeks out. It’s still winter so not a big deal for me. Glad I ordered them a bit early to hopefully ensure I have them by spring time. I’m sure it’ll be worth the wait though!
