Aftermarket Wheels on Model 3

[kagenokaze]

That's hot. Mine are bronze but I think I'm going to paint them. What year is your car? Mine won't be lowered because it's still being built.

2021 M3P on MCS 2WNR.

They are $278 a piece, maybe sell your and get a new set. Painting is around $200 a wheel(I am in Santa Barbara), powder coat is a bit more.

That is some stretch but okay if that is the look you are after. 255's are fine.

Its not a crazy stretch at all. This is a 245/45 toyo on a 9.5. The toyo in this size is a 9.6" section width.

I want to stay away from 255/40 because its a smaller overall diameter vs stock. In the end ill probably go with 265 extremecontact sport's and they weigh 1lb less than the ps4s and per a couple european tests they have a slightly lower rolling resistance.

Hopefully that will happen closer to their release date. I am in for a set of the 18s for the shop car. Kinda on the fence about 19s, slightly heavier, but the tire should be lighter by around a pound so an even trade off.

That is one of my reasons going with the Conti vs the Michelin. You will lose a bit of the turn-in response, but gain better ride quality and less impact harshness(expansion joints).

I just got ampliforms as well 18x9.5 in bronze. I might paint it though cause now i have teal brake calipers and it might sit better with darker wheels.

They will look like the blue car but bronze hehe. That's actually why I shared the pics so you could see the color.
