Aftermarket Wheels on Model 3

[crsn00]

After going through most of the 300+ pages, I settled on SSR GTX01s. 19x9.5 +35 with 265/35R19 DWS06+ tires on a completely stock RWD. I don't have very many miles on them yet but, as expected, steering response and grip are much better. There is a bit more noise but I think it's mostly from the wheels (vs the aero covers).

Ordered the wheels, TPMS, hub rings, and lugs from @MODEL+. Great price, fast shipping, and Danny was very helpful!

Wide! OEM 235/45R18 vs 265/35R19

A little more flush looking in the front than I was looking for but it'll be fixed whenever I get around to adding a bit of camber

Test drive in the smoke

Apparently we're all posting our tires now.

Here's Falken Wildpeak AT Trails (225/50R18 on Sparco Terra 18x8+35).
Range loss is around 10% from the all terrain tires.
If I did it again I would try really really hard to get those Braid FULLRACE A 17" wheels on there. 225 seems like a nice width but I think 8" wide rims is a bit wide. I might go 7.5" if I could.

Anyone have pics on H&R Springs and 19’s? I have the OEM 20’s now and the wheel gap is perfect for me (for living in the northeast). I’m afraid if I drop to 19” the gap will be too much.

The overall tire diameter won’t inherently change with wheel size, so measured gap won’t necessarily change.

Are those the OEM sport V2s, just painted black? If so, how did you paint/dip?

Yep they are hyperdipped satin black - I did them while the wheels were on the car and took about a day to get 4-5 coats on them and lasted a while until I got new wheels. Still looked fresh after 6-8 months. Here’s a pic after the 7 month mark and center caps. Note these are with the Tein’s installed - H&R’s had too much of a gap in the rear for me on stock 19’s.

Those look real good dipped in black!

Nice. So you would do it all over again? Does the dip wear/flake off just with age, or does it take an actual impact to make it look bad?

Can you link to the product you used?

Honestly - the dip worked for my case since it only needed to last < 1 year until I got my new set. If I were to do it all over again I would get them painted or powder coated for ~$350-$400 otd.

They didn’t flake or wear out any for me, they looked like the day I sprayed them until I took them off. I do wash weekly though and use ceramic sprays, etc. The only damage I had to one wheel is when I got a flat (front driver tire, you can see where it wore through on my last picture) and had to limp it to a safe place off the main road.

Sport V2s look 100x better painted/dipped black or charcoal! If only Tesla would deliver them that color.
