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

[R1Fast]

265/35/19 PS4S on bronze Ts5s and avg range is about ~10-15 wh/mi less than stock Aeros w/out covers, tested over 5k mi.

Though its not a controlled comparison, varying conditions at play, etc. most of those miles are over the same commute so its ballpark.

That said, 15wh/mi is more margin of error than anything. The biggest impact to efficiency with wide tires, IMO, seems to be driving in rain and its impact on rolling resistance, as well as ambient temps...but that might be more impacting on overall battery efficiency than just tires.

Do you have image of the car from back to see width of the tire?
Have you noticed any ride comfort difference going from aeros?
what's your wheel width?

Will stock lugs work okay with these wheels?

I'm using the stock lugs with my T-S5 wheels. I checked with Evasive Motorsports beforehand and they said the stock lugs were fine...

 

[Feathermerchan]

Stock lug nuts? Yes.

Do any of you with 19s feel they are small for the wheel wells and would have gone up to 20s? My current debate.

I think it’s personal preference. The total outside diameter of the wheel and tyre is the same for 18/19/20” wheels. If the wheel is black or a dark colour, visually, there’s not much in it.

Personally, I’m running the 20” standard rims, and I’m going to downsize to 18 and 19” (summer and winter set-up). With the correct offset, I really like 18’s with the added benefit of lighter wheels and better ride quality.

 

[Feathermerchan]

Agree with Clivew. I had OEM 20" and and sold them ASAP. I have the 18" and immediately noticed the ride difference. Plus I no longer worry about tire/wheel damage due to potholes or small debris on the road.

I really want to pick up a set of T-S5s. any chance of another group buy? The pricing during the group buy was an awesome deal

Is anyone using spacers with the 18's? I'm trying to figure out a good size.

 

[jkoya]

No spacers for me.....

im running spacers with the 18's. 15mm front and 20mm rear. its not quite flush and i cant imagine how they would look without it, im sure they are quite sunken in without.
