Aftermarket Wheels on Model 3

He’s gotta a little more drop on me. LOL! Yes, installed the Blox and dialed in all 4 corners. Adjusted the height on the front and got the alignment. Everything is smooth as butter now. Love the ride. Not scraping at all now. Love seeing everyone break their necks checking it out. Receive thumbs up or “sweet ride” everyday.

The wheels I am looking at are offered in a 20mm offset too but was thinking this is too extreme, especially for the front. Its 5mm more offset than stock so thought would be good but perhaps need to re-think this. Was going to see what the thoughts on the 20mm offset would be for the rear too?

You can definitely run 8J ET20 or 8.5J ET20(Best fitment to pair with lowering spring)

Here are some example:

SV104 F19x8.5 ET20 (235/40/19) R19x10 ET35 (265/35/19)

SV502 18x8.5 ET20 (18lb each) All around with stock 235/45/18 tire.

I finally got my wheels that I ordered NINE friggin weeks ago. I love the wheels, but I'm not as pleased with the Double Dark Tint finish. I was hoping it would have turned out darker. I may opt to powder coat them, or just cheap out on plastidip. I don't dislike the finish, I'm just not wowed by it because I want more contrast.

As for the tires, I've only driven about 20 miles on them, and so far I'm more excited about the tires than I am with the wheels, because they seem to ride smoother and quieter, albeit, only marginally compared to the stock Aeros.

Here's a before/after (which also includes my chrome delete btw, that I keep going back and forth on which one I like better):

Forgestar CF5V
19x8.5 et32

Continental Pure Contact LS
235/40/19

I personally love the finish! I def would have considered that in addition to mine.

Yeah, i'll sit on them for a while before I decide what to do. I do like that they give off a different look in broad daylight compared to when it's in the shadows or at dusk. Here's one in broad daylight at the tire shop:

Yup, in sunset mine are a bit bronze.

IIRC, you got gunmetal right? I know you got 20s, but what width did you go with?

Gunmetal, 9/9.5

Question: I was able to use my stock lug nuts on my new aftermarket wheels. Should I stick with my OEM ones or buy new aftermarket lug nuts?

I'm not really sure about exact measurements when it comes to the stock lug nuts, but I know they're 21mm in length.

According to my manufacturer, I need 14x1.5 and that anything less than 19mm will work.

I'm inclined to go with aftermarket ones ino to have a lock key for added security. I'm also concerned whether or not there's a safety risk with not using the exact size.

Not an Aero wheel. No Aero wheel cover option.

someday one of the wheel manufacturers is going to get one in the works.

For those of you going for the stance look:


SSR Koenig
20x11.5 +30ish
255/30/20 Michelin Pilot Sport 4s

This is the most rim you can fit in the front, I have about 1mm clearance to the spindle, and had to pull the fenders about 5mm. Once UCAs are out for this car you can probably fit a 12" up front. In the rear I still have about 3" of space, so a 14" wheel is possible back there w/o much camber.

Suspension wise I am on airtekk bags, and have MPP rear camber and toe arms.

I'm a fan of the wide and low stance!

Does a Aero wheel have to have a cover or look aero? If it gets better than the rated range of the Aero isn't it just as good, and maybe better looking? Not talking Carbon. That is a little over the top $.

Shoutout to TSportline and its President Elie. I recently had their TSS tire and wheel combo installed at their affiliated West Hollywood (CA) store... only to become a bit anxious when my car's TPMS did not register the wheels within the first few miles of driving. Elie was extremely responsive... explaining that he although had no doubt that the system would eventually recognize the new set-up, he would put the OEM equipment back on the car if I was truly concerned. I decided to trust Ellie and, after driving ten or so miles on the freeway, the car's TPMS recognized the new wheels.... exactly as Elie (and, in retrospect, the owner's manual) said would happen. All in, I appreciate a company that stands behind their products and strongly recommend TSportline.

Shout out to @EVTuning I got my wheels and tires which came shipped awesomely packed. Swapped them last night and will either sell off the Aeros or put winter tires on them. Shame to waste good tires though.

Vorsteiner vff 107s 20x9 & 20x10.5 In graphite.
Tires are falken azenis fk510 245/35/20 and 285/30/20

I’ll post updates on my efficiency later on but after 2k miles within Aeros I was at 248 average and about 50 miles with the new setup I’m at 290

Fitment is pretty spot on. Now to decide on springs or not...
Rest of chrome delete is being done tomorrow
