Posted incorrectly on the tire thread at first....
I am looking for feedback on a set of track wheels.
Do yall think I'll be safe with enkei gtc02, 18x10.5+35 with falken rt660 285/30/18 ? Would 275/35/18 be better?
I have the MPP Stoptech BBK (as well as the rest of MPPs suspension components). I've heard mixed feedback on whether there will be caliper clearance issues.
Thanks!
I've at one point gone through all 200 some odd pages and possibly missed it, but has anyone used a 20" wheel with a 20mm backspace on the front of a M3P? I want a specific wheel (and the original plan was a 30mm backspacing but they seem to be on an indefinite backorder) but a 20mm version of that wheel is. I know I'll be limited to a 245/30 tire but I don't plan on tracking the car but will enjoy a curvy road on occasion (hell, the dragon is 45 minutes from my house!).
Thank you in advance for any information that you have to offer!
Offset on Kojins was 40mm btwGot some new shoes
One of my old tires got a pinhole in the sidewall the gradually escalated to a tire that couldn't hold air for more than a few hours. Since the tires were coming towards the end of their lives anyway, just decided to get 4 new ones. I've been wanting some lightweight rims too so figured this was a good time to kill 2 birds with 1 stone.
Ordered from Tirerack, mounted, balanced, and delivered to my door in 2 days. Went with Kojins from Enkei, they're 18"x8" and weigh 20lbs per rim. Tires are Continentals, 235/45R18. My old wheels were the 19x8.5"" sports from Tesla. Tires were 235/40R19. They weighed 25lbs per rim.
Overall very pleased!

I don’t know but I like them on black cars. Reminds me the John Player Special Formula 1 cars.Hi all. Anyone know what wheels these are?
My friend had a Challenge Stradale back in the day with gold wheels and it looked phenomenal. I'm thinking of going gold wheels on black paint.
Thanks!

Hey, interested in a set of these.So who's ready to step up to the big boys league with a set of classics?
We have a few Model 3 spec BBS LMs that are ready to ship with no build out wait times. More info here.
Please message if you're interested!

You got PM!Hey, interested in a set of these.
could you pm me a price?
For that price I think evannex is offering forged versions of the zero-g wheels for the same price as Tesla. They've been hyped by Tesla and they frankly in my estimation are a disappointment. Very heavy and not much stronger than the stock OEM rims if any more durable at all.What do folks think of 20X9 Zero-G Performance wheels for the street/track usage? I like 20'', so not ready to go with 18/19''. I also understand that these are cast wheels, not forged. But they look so good. Anyone has good/bas experiences with them?

Technically speaking no. Sidewall width of the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S Tesla spec tire is 9.5 in. "Stretch" means that the rim mounting surface is wider than the sidewall. You are unfortunately continuing the dissemination of misinformation on this point. This just means that that tire on a 9 inch rim is not significantly squeezed. But not squeezed is not the same as stretched.For what it's worth, using 245/35 tires on the zero G will result in a slower 0-60, albeit marginally, due to the taller sidewall. It's possible to use 235/35 but there will be a slight stretch.
Okay, i'll include that there will be a slight stretch subjectively, that way there's no misinformation.Technically speaking no.

I think what you mean is that if you see compressed as neutral this will appear to the modestly sophisticated as stretched. Unfortunately, there are lots of folks with minimal sophistication buying the idea that these mounting situations involve stretching the tire which lots of folks believe is bad news (and to be clear severe stretching is definitely bad news but modest stretching has been used for a long time in the autocross Community). So unfortunately even though you're not trying to contribute to misinformation this kind of statement inadvertently does just that.Okay, i'll include that there will be a slight stretch subjectively, that way there's no misinformation.
