I have a 2021 M3P and I actually really love the wheels. The thing is, around San Diego the roads are absolute crap. I feel like I have to drive super careful all the time at the risk of blowing out my tires with the 20" Uberturbine stock wheels.
I hit an unavoidable lane-wide deep road repair on Miramar Road (which is one of the worst roads for potholes) in early April. It caused an immediate pinch flat in the front passenger-side tire. I was impressed with Tesla mobile service... they came out and replaced the rubber within about 2 hours and no wheel damage. The only issue was it cost nearly $500 and ruined our day.
I don't want to keep repeating this, because I know it will absolutely happen again.
I'm thinking that replacing them with 19" wheels and having more rubber will be the wise choice long-term. Or is that not enough... and 18" is a wiser choice?
Has anyone else done this? Which wheels did you go with that have a similar look, or maybe not a similar look but rather something that went well with the performance model? I am against any other Tesla wheel (I just don't like their look) so I'm going to have to turn to the after-market.
TIA for your input/advice/suggestions/etc!
