FEELER: Trade Plus Cash for 19"

[whydontwe]

I upgraded to the 19" wheel and tire package when I bought my 2018 MR3. Due to my longer commute, I am not getting the range efficiency I need to avoid charging every couple of days. I would like to get a feeler if anyone would be interested in trading up to the stock 19" rims and Continental tires (what it came with) plus $1k and your OG 18" rims and tires. The rims have a couple of minor curb rashes, but nothing major in my opinion. I can post some pics later.

Odd, you should have increased range with the larger diameter wheels. I have seen over 310 with OEM 19s / OEM rubber.

That looks like a generic calculator, doesn't apply to EVs
Rolling resistance and weight are big differentiators for EVs.

I don't expect that changing wheels will make a huge difference. Slowing down 5mph would be a bigger savings

Well, good point. I tend to have a led foot. But also, I am just worried about tire costs for the 19" rims later on. Plus, I am not really digging the silver rim and black center cap look.

The caps don't have to be installed.

Pics added. Price is somewhat negotiable.

In case you weren't aware of this range chart.

I’ve run 18” caps on and off and 19” sport wheels on my 3 and can get 310 miles range with all. It’s all about how you drive. I got my 19” set trading from someone looking for more range like you, it didn’t pan out for him like he expected. Pump the air in the tires up to 45psi and don’t speed, use cabin heat, or run sentry mode if you want range.

My wife’s Jeep can get 500 miles on a tank of gas or 300 if she hot rods it.

BUMP - Anyone interested?

I’m interested but I’m also in Chicago—would make the swap a bit of a hassle for us both.

I'm currently considering a M3 that's currently in stock with 19 inch wheels, but am looking to trade for 18 inch wheels if I make the purchase. I'm in the Chicago area

 

[Buzz Lightyear]

I’m interested - will send a PM

 

[whydontwe]

Bump - thanks!

 

[JordanD]

I would trade you but I'm in Nebraska and don't know how shipping would work since we couldn't drive our cars until new tires are installed.

 

[whydontwe]

Yeah, going to be a tough one. I'll try local buyers first. Not really interested in a road trip right now, lol.

I am interested. I have about 4k miles on my 18" with minor curb rash similar to yours on one wheel. I am from the Bay Area so you think we can arrange something. I may want to take a drive. PM me.
