Aftermarket Wheels on Model 3

[HMRSKima]

Nice! Did you have to re-drill the stud holes on the Konigs or did they come with M14 holes?

No drilling required on the wheels BUT I would absolutely recommend getting Gorilla locks (instead of spline type locks that look too 'tuner' style) that fit within a mm of the socket... in fact you're basically limited to getting a set of Gorilla "The System" wheel locks for any wheels with narrow or tuner-style stud holes.

White model 3 stance looks really good with the wheel and drop! What are you lowered on?

Buddy's car is lowered on KW V2s, rocking 20" HRE FF01s 20x9.5F +35 / 20x10.5R +45 - I'm lowered on full UP Super Performance springs (I'm Dual Motor AWD).

Can anyone school me on lug nuts? I bought the rims, tmps, hub ring and wheels. I just need to get the installer to do it

Do I need new lug nuts or how do I know if the old ones fit my aftermarket wheels?

Thanks!

Just unscrew one and test fit, it should seat all the way down, or you need skinnier nuts

its been mentioned here that stock lugs will almost never fit aftermarket wheels. ymmv, mine did not fit and i have tuner lugs for my vorsteiners

Will (front) 19 x 9.0x 45mm & (rear) 19x 9.5x 52.5mm fit? Currently have 275/35/19 tires on the wheels?

You got it bud! I’ll be taking her out on a photo shoot soon too but here are some oldie goodies—König Ampliforms (Dark Metallic Graphite)

Did you need hub rings? Messaged konig about these but they never replied.

Most Konig wheels compatible with Tesla (5x114.3) have a 73.1 center bore, so they're not hub centric. So yes, hub centric rings are required. Though, there are arguments that can be made that as long as you use lug nuts that lug centric, you will not need hub centric rings. I figure, it doesn't hurt to have both just to be on the safe side.

Please definitely use hubcentric rings! I went with Stancemagic 64.1ID -> 73.1OD hubcentric rings. I’m a ‘spirited driver’ and have had my wheels on/off for installs multiple times and the rings are 100% sturdy. No vibrations at high speeds. Again, please get hubcentric rings (they’re the least you can do for any wheels that can work safely on our cars).

Edit: Looks like the SMs are out of stock, but use any good-reviewed brand of hubcentric rings.

For the record, I very much agree with you, and I personally would never put aftermarket wheels on my car that are not hub centric without them. But there are also people that don't have them and claim they cannot tell any difference.

If not even for your own personal peace of mind, what about anyone or any shop taking on/off wheels even one time. Not opting in $7 for a set of 4 isn't worth the risk imo.

+30 clears your performance brakes? I was thinking getting freeforms. Not sure if they have the same clearance. 18x8.5

Again, I definitely agree with you, which I thought I made pretty clear in my previous post. Cheers yo
