Aftermarket Wheels on Model 3

[Krobbler]

This a great look. Very unique in a "Taking care of business, No BS" manner. What are the wheels and their specs and how was the car lowered (springs or other suspension mods) and by how much? It looks as though the tire diameter is around 26.2 " (similar to stock) so your speedo should be accurate. Do you know how much of a hit you took on efficiency?

I am running Mountain Pass sport coilovers set to their recommended height.

Tires are 265/40/18 which are 26.3" which are the same as the stock 235/45.

I saw a minimal change in efficiency. My average over two seasons was 265wh/mi. Michigan is pretty flat and I'm ~95% highway.

The person who posted pics of their Advan GT wheels, do you see a drop or increase in your power consumption?

I've only had the wheels for about a month or so and I'm still keeping an eye on it but I did lose efficiency for sure. Coming from the 19" sport V2 wheels with stock continental tires and now running wider wheels and stickier Advan Apex V601 tires. I'm averaging about 30kwh increase power consumption. I also don't have TPMS installed so I don't know if that will affect the readings.

Did the OEM TPMS/Valve stems not fit the Advans?

I got the wheels with the tires already mounted from a friend. The setup is basically brand new so I'm just going to wait until I have to get a new set of tires to install the TPMS. It's a little annoying with the TPMS error code popping up but ehh I'll learn to live with it.

it’s my wife car and I pushed so hard for her to get the bronze. As you can see with my taco I’m a fan of bronze, tired of all the pics looking like a black hole in the wheel well.

Can anyone recommend quiet tires for 265/40/18? currently have PS4S, and they're a lot louder than when I had uberturbines on the stock pirelli tires

Having run both PS4S and the Pirelli PZero ELECT, I'd say the Pirells were slightly quieter, but at the cost of some grip and responsiveness.

You must not be running the Tesla-specific PS4S...

I NEED a Taco, but I'm stupid and considering a FL5 Type R or a 997 C4S/T4S instead LOL.

I'm running the same wheel, size, and offset with 265/35's. To me they fit perfect with room for slightly more in the rear. Depending on how low you go they'll be fine. I'm planning to roll the front fenders soon because they to rub on big dips in the road at my height.

I had custom valved king 2.5’s on my Tundra and LOVED them. I bet you’re enjoying them on the taco too - that blue is iconic!

The KW’s are just what i was after tbh; nice and sporty, handles like an animal. I was expecting to do a lot more roadtripping so that’s why I went with the Flex Z’s initially (they’re omega comfortable while being low) but we ended up not traveling via car as much as we thought.
