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

[debuggr]

So, in stock setups, the fronts change from +ET40 to +ET35 when going from square to staggered? Is this basically because staggered is more of a performance config so Tesla wanted a wider front setup? Any other reason? Seems like a change they didn't need to make considering how hesitant they've been to support different configurations for manufacturing complexity reasons ...

We now have a distributor and pricing! Pricing will be lower than I originally posted. More info as I document all the details!!! Shooting for less than $2K in the 19 inch fitment!

This is terrific news. I changed my config from 19" sport wheels back to aeros because of this thread, and I'm even more excited than before now. Delivery timing-wise, it's only going to cost me a few weeks. Supposedly.

I am assuming it was a choice of balance to promote less understeer and to keep excess positive scrub radius from negatively affecting the handling

Are other finishes an option? Looking forward to seeing what other wheel designs they have in mind as well.

Because it increases the camber, which pivots the top the the tire inward.

It should not increase the camber if you replace the camber arms MPP Arastradero Model 3 Rear Camber Arms and adjust them properly, as you should when lowering.

Likewise, glad I dropped the Performance upgrades, Looks like these wheels will be a nice upgrade and I'm actually partial to the darker titanium silver look, should be nice on my DBM P3D, I didn't want to run the stock wheels for long, even nice wheels.

The difference in offset for staggered set-up is so that the outside of the wheels are in line (or close to inline).

I am likely in for a set once details come out.

If you just do one of the mild lowering springs do you still need to replace the camber arms?

Here's a question,
As the performance pack comes with 20" wheels and the 20" Michelin tires, do you:
A - Go with a new forged 20x8.5 wheel, mount the stock Michelins on those and then find 20" winter tires to go on the stock wheels?
B - Stick with stock 20" setup for summer, get 19" forged wheels and tires for winter?
C - Stick with stock 20" setup for summer, get cheap 19" wheels because it's winter and no ones is outside to look at your car anyway?
D - Get forged 20" wheels and sell the stock 20" wheels, do whatever other option you want for winter?

Tesla's 19" winter tire package is $3500 and it sounds like this group buy could net a new set of 19" (maybe 20") wheels and winter tires for less than that.
But why would you want a set of forged wheels for winter use over summer use?

Wanted to bring attention to a post in another thread regarding the performance upgrade package rotors and calipers.

It looks like the center hub has a ~3mm lip with a larger diameter. Check it out: P3D+ misc info and pics- wheel weight, calipers, suspension

Would Titan 7 be willing to to accommodate this lip in the design?

Good point, and its something that all of the performance folks should note, about this extra lip on the bigger brake kit of the Performance upgrade package. I went for the stock sized brakes myself, but others may be surprised by this if they aren't paying attention.

What kind of wheels are these? I don't see them on Titan's website.

they are a prototype for an electric car (aero wheels)

@Xenoilphobe - would center bore be 64.1?

Yes

I will make sure thatTitan is aware of this.

I'd like 19" staggered, as long as it's a "plug-and-play" install. Hope the ride quality isn't too harsh; I prefer comfort in my old age.

If they can handle the shoulder for that lip, I’m in for a set of 19s.

 

[Xenoilphobe]

It should be very easy for them to "tool" that lip in with a forged wheel..

Those wheels are for a special project for an undisclosed customer
