Group Buy Poll for Mono-Block Forged Alloy Wheels by Titan 7

[AnarchyEOD]

Here is what I’d like, but they aren’t options In the poll or I’m missing something....

 

[estribo714]

Will there be a pick-up option? To save on shipping fee

 

[Fusion]

Anyway to get it in the stock turbine grey color?? I'm definitely in for a set regardless. I think 245 is probably the ideal tire width for the 19" without sacrificing too much from stock.

Here is what I’d like, but they aren’t options In the poll or I’m missing something....

1. T-S5 FORGED SPLIT 5 SPOKE in Machine Black in 18 X 8.5 +40 ET (STOCK SIZE - 18 - T-S5)
   
2. T-R10 FORGED 10 SPOKE in Machine Black in 18 X 8.5 +40 ET (STOCK SIZE - 18 - T-R10)
3. T-R10 FORGED 10 SPOKE in Satin Titanium in 18 X 8.5 +40 ET (STOCK SIZE - 18 - T-R10)

 

[Perry]

I voted for T-S5 in satin but someone photoshop the T-R10 please. Been eyeing the Volk ZE40 but would definately purchase this instead! Both look super nice though.

Here is what the T-R10 will look like. They might even look better than the others but I heard they are a bit heavier.

Will 245 sized tires @ 19 X 9 with +35 ET have the tire lip slightly over the rim? Right now many owners curb their wheels since the rim actually sticks out more than the tire.

 

[Blu Angel]

I think 245 is probably the ideal tire width for the 19" without sacrificing too much from stock.

That will be my size tire now.....245/40-19
I've done some research and narrowed my choices to these 5 Summer tires
Michelin PILOT SPORT 4S ($257)
Michelin Pilot Super Sport ($241)
Pirelli P Zero (PZ4) ($209)
Pirelli P Zero Nero GT ($186)
Continental Extreme Contact Sport )$205)

Here the comparison link for your perusal with a good budget range

P.S. I'm leaning to the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S

Yes, you can see here:

I think 245 is probably the ideal tire width for the 19" without sacrificing too much from stock.

The only problem I see with 245/40 19 tires is that they are 10mm off stock diameter which is 1.4%. See:
Rim & Tire Size Calculator. Custom Offsets

The guidance is to stay within 1% from stock diameter not to mess up some of the calculations that the electronics of the car are making in regards to slip control, odometer, and other.

255/35 19 on the other hand is only 8mm off which is 1.1%. See:
Rim & Tire Size Calculator. Custom Offsets

265/35 19 is the closest with 1mm off which is 0.1% -- well within the 1%.
Rim & Tire Size Calculator. Custom Offsets
This tire I think only fits comfortably on a 9.5 or 10 wide wheel. Its too bulgy on a 9.

if you compare the stock 19" sport tires to the 245's its only 1.1% larger in diameter

Larger Diameter Tires?
Appears that running different sizes won’t matter as speedometer is gps stabilize? Car is so smart

 

[TheLocNar]

I am slowly warming up to these wheels. Keeping an eye on this.

I voted for:

T-R10 FORGED 10 SPOKE in Satin Titanium in 19 X 9 with +35 ET

 

[systemBuilder]

If you could get Titan to tweak their forging dies to accept genuine Tesla black wheel caps (the kind used on 19" and 20" wheels), I think you would hit 400+ orders in 1 months. This titan wheels looks almost identical to the 18" aero wheel, the main difference being that the aero wheels has tubular tangs vs. this wheel which has square tangs. Does an order of 40 mean 40 sets (160 wheels) or 10 sets (40 wheels)?

+1 I would love this too. Seems like something they'd be willing to accommodate based on what we've heard so far?

 

[Blu Angel]

Fellow TM3ers,

Finally, I'm no expert on tire sizes and I think that 245/40/19 would fit perfectly
on the Titan 7 T-S5. 19"x9" +35
Please address what the ideal tire size should be for these forged wheels

 

[Xenoilphobe]

If you're going with 265/35/19 you might as well get 19 x 9.5 +35 wheels so the tire won't look so bulged out. the clearance will be the same since the tire is wider than the rim.
See: Rim & Tire Size Calculator. Custom Offsets
This is why I say figure out what tire you want that won't rub while keeping within 1% deviation from stock diameter and then match the rim to it.

10 sets = 40

Frankly at this price point Tesla should have OEMed these on the P3D+

It won't matter this car GPS corrects speed and distance...
