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

[SamT]

Just installed the OEM Tesla Aero Wheel center hub and lug nut cover on my P3D+ with the Titan 7 wheels. The center hub was a bit loose, I had to widen the wire and push the tabs out a bit to make it fit more snug, hope they stay on. Anyone have other solutions for the center hub and lug nut covers?

 

[Rudyshoe]

Has anyone that ordered and received their machine black's received their backordered center caps? I've sent evasive a couple emails asking for status ... Nothing but crickets .

Hey that's what I ordered. Is that in Satin Titanium?

Do you have more pics of the car that is not a close up of the wheel, @SamT?

The rear doesn’t really look move concave than the fronts...maybe it’s the angle of the pics?

It’s the angle. Rear concavity is much deeper than the front. I can try to take better pics if you want.

Sure.!! I’ve got a set of 20” VS08’s that should be coming in any week now.

Which tire size did you go with?

 

[Murattukaalai]

@SamT are you noticing any difference from stock wheels?

I went with Michelin 235x4518 all season. Here in Virginia, we don't really need snow tires.

I have 18" all season tires on the Titan, so far so good, it rides better, not as rough as the stock 20" wheels, and they handle almost as good for day to day driving. The big plus on the 18" wheels is the range is much better by about 10 to 15% so far.

I love hearing this!!! 10 to 15% increase in range in the winter is awesome!!! I need to get these for my S !!!

Anyone got pics of a P3D+ with 19x9s and a 245/40 tire?

That's the setup I'm thinking about doing, only P3d- but that shouldn't matter. The hard part is picking a tire for anything but the stock sizes.

Thanks @SamT

Anyone looking for 20 inches here you go
Titan 7 T-S5 Wheels

Check with them before buying if they would fit Model 3 from the specs it looks like it will

This size tire, with the 19" combo, is the closest in diameter to the stock 20" setup (+.2mm), so it makes sense for me to go with this. Plus I like the fact that it's a bit wider for better traction and has more sidewall for rim protection. Won't look as good but the tradeoff is worth it for me. Not planning to lower due to bad roads in the area, so the ride height should be about the same as a stock P3D+.

I agree, what tires are you going to put on it though? I don't think any Michelin with foam will fit on this wheel size. They do make these:
Truck Tires, Car Tires and more – Michelin Tires
I also wonder if 255 wide would fit better or worse, if at all?

I'll probably go with either a Michelin or Conti all season from TireRack.. the foam part is not really necessary and I doubt it makes a noticeable difference. A 255/35 will fit on a 9" wide rim, and I looked into it, but .5" diameter (smaller) difference vs stock 20" setup, decided against it.. don't know if I would be adversely affecting the suspension or causing any additional stress on it since the car would be riding about a half inch lower than the PUP option intended.
