Aftermarket Wheels on Model 3

[Hkbruin]

SonicMS up in bay area who I greatly recommended

These are the @MountainPass MPP Comfort Coilovers

Is that the default ride height for the comforts? Seems like more than an inch drop than stock. I want to get the MPP arms as well!

It's not the lowest setting, SonicMS suggested one finger gap so i went with that. It totally changed the way it drives now if you know what i mean. Night and day difference!

We have recommended height, but you can set them however you like! We are working hard to make more arms, there is a huge order under production right now. Thank you to our customers who are patiently waiting for them!

I have performance with aeros, so I have the standard hubs, not the ones with the lip. That site does not list wheel weights

I kinda like these but they might be heavy.

I was thinking to go up to 19's as I think 19's look better, but I don't really need 20's.

I like these too in 19x8.5" 40 offset (same as factory) no idea on weight again though.

One sweet ride.

Just curious, what’s your recommended height?

MPP Coilover Installation Instructions listed here! It's just what we think looks great while still being practical. We also wanted to let people one-shot their install without tinkering with the ride height for hours.

I've been having a hard time deciding if I should go with a relatively expensive forged setup or go with something cheaper such as Niche that is cast aluminum.

Could I hear a few opinions about their experience on Niche wheels?

Yea, it bugs me to no end that they don't quote weights. I do agree that 19 is a sweet spot for weight, appearance, cost, handling.

Model: Ambit RS18 Flow Formed

Spec: 18x9.5 +38 (Performance models require 3mm spacer in the front to clear knuckles)
Tires: 255/35R18

Like your wheels and your pictures but it is counterfactual to claim that performance models require a 3 mm spacer to clear the front suspension knuckle with a 38 mm offset wheel. I've had 40 millimeter offset wheels on my car without issue.

Ordered my set of VS03 in 20x9 +28 and 20x10.5 +40 on Michelin Pilot Sport 4S 245/35/20 and 285/30/20.

Custom two-tone color with gloss black barrels and tinted face. Just got them yesterday and I put them on for just the weekend that’s calling for above freezing temps and dry weather. I ordered them on Black Friday from Get Your Wheels and Josh had some good suggestions for this nice setup.

A few more pics from today. Hoping it will be sunny tomorrow for some better pics.

38mm might not clear at 9.5" wide with 255's.

I promised you guys a photoshoot! More photos in this thread

Okay now I got you. You're talking about not stock width wheels with 255s. You might reach out to Kbecks he's a track guy and I'm pretty sure he's got 255 on the front of his car. Not sure about that and I may have that mixed up but I think he's either got 255 is all around or maybe 255s on the front and 275 on the rear. I can't recall.

@kbecks13 and I are both running 265 on all four corners without problems. He's on 19x9.5 +33, I'm on 19x9.5 +35.

Thanks for clarifying that. That was my recollection but it's better to hear it directly from you guys than for me to misquote you

4x4 status as I await my coilovers, but figured I'd post up what I'm running at the track tomorrow.

Love the Blue and Bronze combo. Does Enkei wheel fits perfect on the P3D hub? Also whats the weight on those ?

Thanks! I think it'll look even better once it's dropped.
The bore on the Enkei's is 72.6, so I had custom hubcentric rings made. According to Enkei they weigh 21.2 lbs.

Thanks for the reply.
Wow, 21.2lbs for the 19x9.5, that's really light imo.

I'll look forward for your picture after its dropped.
