How are the Replika r241 wheels for the Model Y?
- Thread starter Singhman
- Start date
Bumping an old thread, anyone figure out the weight differences between the 20" Inductions vs these 20", and/or whether over time the finish has come off? Significantly lower priced than the OEM Tesla ones, and may use the 19" Gemini rims as winter rims and go with 20" Replika's for summer, vs ordering with the 20" Induction and then buying the 19" Replika for winter. The latter route is ~CAD$5,000+ tax vs probably around $3500-4k going with the Replika has the 20".
But wondering about efficiency/weight and longetivity if they're painted?

Bumping this as well with another question:
Would these work on a MYP? Their fitment guide doesn't list a 19x8.5 for a Model Y and bumps you up to the 19x9.5. I'd prefer to go a little narrower and add some tire width with 255 /45 R19 XL tires but I'm a little lost in the maze of wheel/tire combos. Appreciate any help / experience others than give!

haha thanks. I did a youtube video on it and have a promo code to save $$$$ too fyi
Efficiency is the same if you're using the same rubber in either 19x9.5 or 20x9.5 configs. The weight is lighter for each variant. Longevity wise, like any other aftermarket wheel, it's fine if you don't curb them or just daily drive them. If your intention is to go off road the like, then the OEM wheels wouldn't hold up either. Replika wheels are made by Fast wheels which is a reputable wheel company offering lower cost options. Quality is fine for daily use. I've had mine on the Y for 5 months now. Thinking I may change them out next summer for the Braelin BR14's which is another Fast wheels brand.

Looking good, that's gonna be my setup later this week when i'm having my wheels/winter tires installed!
Can't wait to try this car in the snow.
Do you have anymore information on the Braelin BR14? They are certainly more attractive the Replika 241 and the price increase isn't bad.Efficiency is the same if you're using the same rubber in either 19x9.5 or 20x9.5 configs.

BR14 in 20x10 +35 CB64.1 will support the curb weight of the Y and this variant is completely hubcentric and although slightly tucked, the offset is acceptable in terms of being flush (not great, could probably run 5mm spacers but I'm not for spacers). Found this on the internet and this gentleman is running 20x9's which won't have the same face concavity. You'd need to go 10 or 10.5 to have decent concavity.
