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

I have the base performance model so I don't have to deal with the 3mm lip on the hub. The wheel locks are conical so the the wheels are lug centering and I would get the plastic hub centric rings 67.1 to 64.1 just to help center the wheel.

You could do this, however I would recommend using aluminum hub centric rings vs plastic as they are more durable.

Will these accept factory TPMS?

Will these accept factory TPMS?

Yes - factory TPMS are not Tesla specific, on the classic nose cone Model S they used the same Bao Long 433MHz TPMS sensors. I'm not sure if the 3 uses the same one, I suspect it uses something very similar, but it would be worth having Evasive check. Most TPMS's today have a standard fitment for all wheels. I wouldn't hurt to ask at the Tesla SC what frequency the 3 works on or call these guys..

Features:
- TITAN 7 Forged wheels carry a Limited Lifetime Structural warranty and a 1 year warranty for factory applied surface finishes and wheel accessories.
- All Titan 7 Wheels are Fully Forged.
- Load Rated espcially for the high torque the Tesla Model 3 generates
- Hub Bore Specific for the Tesla Model 3
- Center Caps are included
- Aluminum valve stem is included.
- All wheels are durability tested according to DOT / SAE and JWL / VIA standards to ensure safety while you perform.

So regarding "Aluminum valve stem is included.". What's the point of having these included. Don't the valve stems have to be replaced with TPMS stems? Can Evasive install the TPMS instead?

Yeah, you don't really need the aluminum valve stems...call them, I am sure they can work something out.

Anybody have an actual picture of the 2 styles on the car, or a good photoshop?

As far as the range hit, I am not surprised that a wider section caused range drop, but I do not believe the majority of the effect is due to increased aero resistance. The tire is simply wider by about an inch, so the penalty is more rolling resistance. There probably is some aero effect too, but the biggest hit is already taken as soon as you go away from the aero rims.

If this is the case, then why is the range on the 19" upgraded tesla rims the same as the range with the 18" Aero's? Or is it slightly different?

How much difference would we expect from the upgraded 19" Tesla rims vs. the Titan 19"?

 

[Vines]

I do not believe the EPA rated mile is an accurate representation of the difference between these 2 rims.

I believe that with identical tires the titans over the 19s would get perhaps slightly better range, due to a lighter rotating mass. This would be more obvious at lower speeds, and tiny at highway speeds.

How long will the group buy remain active?

How long will the group buy remain active?

I hope it remains open long enough for the performance scans to come in from the Mad Hungarian. (I think that's supposed to be around the end of September pending a Model 3P+ delivery.)

I want square the widest without tire rub for track wheels. Hopefully 19 x 9.5 or 19 x 10 with an optimal offset. I'm confused as to why the test fit in LA doesn't seem to match the testing in Toronto.

I posted in a couple fb groups. there should be a few more orders.

Sorry if this has been mentioned before but do these accept the OEM wheel caps?

They do not. See post: Group Buy Poll for Mono-Block Forged Alloy Wheels by Titan 7

 

[Vines]

Any updates to see when a particular size was getting close to going to manufacture?

Curious how many sizes if any are close to 8 sets?

 

[longshot49]

They do not. See post: Group Buy Poll for Mono-Block Forged Alloy Wheels by Titan 7

Thanks debuggr - I thought they were going to bore it to Model 3 diameter. The group buy *includes* the Titan-7 center cap tho. (Which is normally extra on other Titan-7 rims)

Definitely interested in these wheels in 19x9.5, but would actually prefer 19x10 for track use. For street use, I'm probably going with 235 Michelin Pilot Sport 4S on 8.5 inch wheels, either 18 or 19. Want the slightly better efficiency of the narrower tires on the street.

Sasha thought 19x10x35 offset with 275/35-19 would fit both front and back.

That said, my researching of Tire Rack shows many more competition tire choices in 265/35-19 than 275/35-19. 275 on 10 may stick a bit better, but the tire choices are much better at 265, so 9.5 are good too.

I'm sure it's been mentioned before, but this design of forged wheel may have multiple sellers. Is Titan the actual foundry?

Deposit update as of 20 Sept

19x9 T-S5 - 6 sets

So we need 2 more sets for these to go into production?

I'm ready to order the 19x8.5s but just can't decide between satin titanium and bronze
