Aftermarket Wheels on Model 3

[Dolemite]

Newly installed 19" TSportline Falcons with Pirelli Sottozeros. Chrome delete next, but may have to wait until spring.

I just DIYd a chrome delete and it’s way easier when it’s cold. FYI.

Is anyone experiencing a slight vibration with their aftermarket wheels?

I just got the EVT turbines in 19” and Bridgestone Turanza QuietTrack tires. I get a very slight vibration at highway speeds, it’s not buttery smooth like it was on the factory 18s.

any ideas? road force balancing? on car high speed balancing?

Get them balanced at someplace that cares. Road force balancing is massively overrated - helps with bent/repaired wheels, but if you’re on new/straight wheels and tires, a competent shop should be able to balance fine.

Thanks for the tip - this was at discount tire, generally considered to be pretty reputable I think

I understand - you just never know what imbecile handled your car. We have a very reputable local place in my city & they scratched my rim with their tire mounting machine & when I took it back to get it fixed, they broke my door brake. Never going back.

Looking at some wheels for my “new to me” P3D+. Anyone know if the Gramlights 57 extreme 18x8.5 et 45 will fit in place of the 20” OEMs?

Looks great! I see you're in Clermont? I'm in Lakeland... mind sharing where you got the springs installed at?

Nice. Did you use any spacers? Fitment looks perfect to me.

When did you order those TSS? Looks like you got a set before they started adding “Tsportline” to the edge of the rim
