Okay, i'll revise it to say, that it could give the appearance of a slight stretch in my opinion.

Aftermarket Wheels on Model 3
- Thread starter kbecks13

My plan is a 20x9 wheel with a 20mm off set, 245/35 tire. Not lowered, stock M3P height. I know some people have used a spacer and given offset wheel to achieve the 20mm offset but I haven't heard of anyone doing this size and spacing natively.We really need to know the width and offset of your wheels to answer this
Not super familiar with the hre wheels but I hear good things about them. We have the vorsteiner and they are high quality. But once again for that price ($600-700 a corner) you can get forged. We have VS forged on my car and vorsteiner on my wife's car. VS forged are identical size but about five to six pounds lighter a corner. However, a long wait to get them due to covid. Used to be six to eight weeks now more like 10 to 12 weeks. But worth it in my estimation.

I'm looking for wheels to go on a 21 Model 3 Performance. I'm torn between Vossen and Titan7. I want black wheels and I like a more simple and open spoke design. I have a budget around $3000 for the wheels. I found the Vossen HF5 in a 20x9 square configuration at $2800 and a 19x9 Titan7 T-S5 also for $2800. I'm not really concerned with optimal miles per charge but also still aware of it. I think I like the way a 20" wheel looks on the car. I couldn't find the Titan7 wheels in black at 20" either. Is the better buy the 19" Titan7's due to being a real forged wheel and a larger weight savings (47.2 lbs. savings vs stock)? Or do you feel the difference negligible with the Vossen's being 20" and they come in gloss black (which I think I like more) vs a machine black on the TItan7's with a weight savings of only 16 lbs.??? Sometimes other opinions help in these situations. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you.
| Stock Uberturbine | 20" | 9" | 32 lbs. | Cast |
| Vossen HF5 | 20" | 9" | 28 lbs. | Flow Form |
| Titan7 T-S5 | 19" | 9" | 20.2 lbs. | Forged |
Vossen HF5 | Titan7 T-S5 |

That should work perfectly. You might even be ok to get a more flush look (and still clear) with a 255/35
So far the fitment from BC has been pretty subpar from the pics on the forums and they’re not the same company. No reps on this forum and not a single Tesla pic on their Instagram. Tons of happy signature customers here can attest to fitment, finish, and quality of the wheels.
They are made in the same factory from what I've read and the wheel designs are pretty identical. There are threads about this in other forums about how Signature came into existence. I have no doubt there are plenty of happy Signature customers. I had BC Forged on my previous car and the op was asking for different options at a certain pricepoint.

Yeah I actually did a relatively deep dive on researching their history. I learned that BC FORGED actually existed before Signature, and both source their wheels from the same factory in Taiwan. In fact, if you were to look at the designs they both offer, they're nearly identical with the exception of a tad of variance between them (eg SV104 and RZ21).
Signature is definitely much better in marketing as evidenced by their popularity here on TMC. But, like with any vendors on community forums, the perception that Signature dominates the market exists in a vacuum. If you were to search BC FORGED vs Signature, there exists other car enthusiast forums that BC seemingly dominates and has market share of, the same way Signature does here. But, no doubt Signature has a clear knack for marketing via social media.
That said, I mulled over my decision between BC and Signature for months, before I ultimately landed on BC. The main selling point for me was that there were several reputable online vendors that sell BC, whereas Signature seemingly prefers direct marketing sales. And, I had the option to finance it, which is always a plus. No doubt though that most people looking for forged wheels probably are not looking to finance it like I was.
Here are street view photos of my BC FORGED RZ21 in 19x9 +33/24 staggered offsets. They came in at a featherweight of 19.6lbs INCLUDING the valve stems and center caps. I got them from Danny @MODEL+ for 3.4k SHIPPED, and they were delivered in literally three and a half weeks after I ordered them. I absolutely love them, and I'm happy to share this info so that people know there are other options for premium forged wheels other than Signature on these forums. More options and competition between vendors only benefits us as consumers.

This is the exact size that I’ve been looking for. What’s the offset if you don’t mind? Are those squared set up?

The signature wheels do look awesome, but the business model seems to be keeping offset a secret.

I love the look of these wheels! Is the SBC the finish? Is it something Enkei offers or is it done by you? I see on their website that they list F1 silver and hyper black but the silver does not look quite like what you posted.

They’re not a secret, but no custom wheel vendor here is likely to post the fitments they’ve taken time & effort to measure & test for, just so some other company can skip some R&D. I’ve seen it said by at least one other vendor here.The signature wheels do look awesome, but the business model seems to be keeping offset a secret.
Send @SignatureWheel a DM and I’m sure Jamie will be happy to discuss offsets for the wheels you’d like to order.
