Since you're considering Pirelli, what about their high-performance all-season tire, the P Zero A/S+? It's the next tire I'm planning to try, because my DWS 06 is also very loud. The Cinturato P7 A/S+ has poor wet braking: https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tests/chartDisplay.jsp?ttid=231. Keep us posted if you end up trying the Primacy Tour A/S.

I just took it out for a spin and the ride is pretty smooth no different than 245/40.
I ended up grabbing these lugs, pretty light weight.

Not sure yet, I haven't had them on for too long to gauge efficiency. Once I do, I will be sure to post it.
I'm buying a set of the Tesla Titan 7 T-S5 18x8.5 +35 rims from Evasive. Mine is a 2018 M3P+. Tony from Evasive said the recommended tire is 255/40. Would everyone agree with that? I prefer a thicker sidewall and prefer not to leave large wheel well gaps, so wondering if i could go 255/45?

The OEM tire size for the aeros are 235/45 which yields you a sidewall height of about 4.16 inches (105.75mm).
The 255/40 tire size being suggested will yield you a sidewall height of 4.01 inches (102mm). He's probably recommending that size because 255/45 will rub. Perhaps other folks who know for sure can chime in.
Overall, if you prefer a thicker sidewall, you're technically going to get less with that recommendation, albeit with a wider tire by .78 inches (20mm).

I finally got my first set of titanium lug nuts, and wow, these are seriously lightweight. I got envious of those sporting titanium lug nuts with that burnt neo chrome look. But, I didn't want to splurge on the Unplugged Performance ones due to cost and the length of them given the seating of my wheels.
I found some on ebay and took a chance on them after doing some research on the company since I hadn't heard of them before. I'm glad I did, because these are totally worth it. Here's a link to their site: CPRRACINGUSA
Here's a youtube video review I found:
It looks like they may be sourcing them from the same manufacturer overseas as the EVS tuning ones because they look nearly identical according to the photos. I highly recommend these to anyone looking to score a good value on titanium lug nuts.
Here's a comparison shot with muteki ones, which is a very common design too.
Here they are on the wheels

Not sure if it's the aftermarket you're looking for but I got the 20" Wheel & tire package from the Tesla Shop. Love em. They completely changed the look of the car (I used to have the Aero wheels).
well the title of the thread does say aftermarket
. But you’re right....the oem 20’s def change the look!! Curious why you didn’t just go aftermarket though? For the price Tesla charges....you could have even gone with an aftermarket lightweight forged monoblock.I know this is an older post and may a ridiculous question but could you give me the info on the lug nuts you used. I have the exact wheels on the way.

I know I know. a part of me is sad thinking about all the awesome aftermarket options i forwent. and call me crazy but i just wanted to stick with the Tesla brand for warranty reasons. i plan on keeping this car many years if possible and i want everything to remain under warranty as much as possible. i'm coming from a volkswagen gti that I owned for 10 years so i kind of learned the importance of warranty those years 5-7 of owning the car. i know it sounds crazy but i didn't want them potentially voiding any aspect of my warranty in the future if i need repairs because i got aftermarket wheels you know? soo, i did my research and went with the best Tesla option I could find. I was in between the silver and the dark finishes (I could have bought a set somewhere other than Tesla) but ultimately liked the silver better with my blue and white combo. i kind of have a blue/silver/white thing going on between the wheels/calipers/chrometrim/andveryvisibleinterior. i know a lot of people do chrome delete, and i would too 9/10, but again, in my case, i just think it looks good. sorry got off topic lol. but ya, that's why i chose the 20" Tesla shop wheels. My second choice were the Zero-G referral wheels (which I was looking at on ebay) but I just liked the ones I got just a smidgeon more.well the title of the thread does say aftermarket
Wheels won't invalidate your warranty unless you're using big spacers or something ridiculously negligent, Tesla has to prove that the aftermarket mod directly led to component failure to say something isn't covered by warranty.

I just wonder why not get the 19" option when you bought the car or try to find a set from the TMC Parts forum or from e-Bay?
