Aftermarket Wheels on Model 3

[dfwatt]

So i presume you are suggesting i keep the stock? I perhaps it may be more marketable for those that want the stock look?

Stock wheels are great for winter tires.

I saw this in Facebook . The guy used a 5/16 drill bit to open up the holes in his Yokohama Advan wheels.

Sorry, but I swapped out the VS03 wheels and put back my winter setup earlier today before I read this post. The +28 offset of the 20x9” front wheel is pretty flush with the edge of the fender.

Thanks! Love the red and black theme on your car.

Car is not lowered, so there might be what looks like a tad bit of poke. Don't have a front picture that would show it, but I've attached others that may or may not show what you're looking for.

Great! Now I think I know what ET I'm gonna get on my rims.

Just got my Titan 7. What size tire would be perfect for 19x9 +35? Car is not going to be lowered

245/45-19 or 265/35-19 should work, with the 245/45 being the better fit.

20” Foose wheels, for those who like chrome.

Awesome thread. Can anyone recommend a wheel shop in LA area that's worked with Model 3s before?

You mean 245/40/19? 45 seems high

Yeah, that's probably right. I was rushing and mis-typed.

Done and some quick iPhone photos first. Thx Sonic MS for getting this done flawlessly!

Looks great! There's no way I could lower mine with the way the roads are here, wish I could find a picture of them on standard height suspension.

Did you need hub rings with that offset?

@voip-ninja No hub ring and no spacers. Perfect the way they are from Signature Wheel!

Just looked up the price, yeesh! They look great but I have kids that will need to go to college someday so have to take a hard pass on them.

I asked EVS to provide a quote for the Vorsteiners with Pilots Sport 4s' mounted and balanced and they quoted me a price for 245's and 285's.

Curious if you got your wheels and tires yet?

These are not much more than the m3115 from tsportline (which are a bit overpriced IMO since you can’t customize them). VS forged also makes a monoblock forged wheel that you can customize and is more affordable.

Agreed. The M3115’s are overpriced and I got a great deal on my VS Forged wheels on Black Friday. The group buy on Titan forged wheels are very affordable as well. I’d go aftermarket forged wheels before buying Tesla stock cast wheels that cost the same.

Tesla wheels are supposedly flow formed and not cast.

There are a lot of very nice looking rotary forged wheels out there in the $250 a piece range... no way I can justify spending 4x as much on wheels.

True...my 19” flow formed winter set was in that range. I kinda like the stock 20” rims. I have heard they might be flow formed as well....but for a flow formed wheel the stock 20”s are HEAVY. I was able to get a 20” VS forged, custom spec for about 2.5X what I paid for my flow formed wheels...and they’ll weigh less than the 19” flow formed wheels. That’s where I’ll cut the line though on wheels....I’m def not paying 4X as much on wheels either.
