Is there a wheel for Tesla 3 that looks like this one ?

[CanadianMetal]

I recently was driving , and saw a new Acura NSX driving next to me and loved how the wheels looked , (especially on a red on a red car like mine) and they looked amazing as the wheels rolled.

I have a red 3 and this is the first wheel that really grabbed my attention as I like the bright and somewhat flashy look , and especially how they looked in motion .

Not quite the same but show similarities

Your link is actual for the 20" rear wheel for some reason.
(the 20" rear wheel looks to be way to wide , but the front 19" looks more promising)

This is the link for the 19" wheel

Can this be modified to work on a model 3 ?

TESLA OEM 19" Wheel
Material Aluminum
Size 19" x 8.5"
Diameter 19"
Width 8.5"
Lugs 5
Bolt Pattern 112mm
Offset 40mm
Style 10 Spoke


NSX Front 19" Wheel
Material Aluminum
Size 19" x 8.5"
Diameter 19"
Width 8.5"
Lugs 5
Bolt Pattern 114.3mm
Offset N/A
Style 5 Split Spoke

The big difference is the Bolt Pattern
Tesla 112mm vs NSX 114.3mm

Is it possible to modify the wheel to work , or would it cost a fortune to modify? or simply not possible ?

Or does someone make the same style wheel in the correct spec ?

Tesla bolt pattern is 114.3 same as the NSX.
Offset and hub is different so you need to add spacers and hub rings if you want to put those wheels on the Tesla

 

[CanadianMetal]

Yes thanks , it looks like the bolt pattern is the same for both Model3 and NSX , so that is the good news .

Here is some more info I found on another website on the NSX wheel

Center Bore: 64.1 mm
Power: 573 hp | 427 kW | 581 PS
Torque: 127 Nm
Thread Size: M14 x 1.5
245/35ZR19
93Y
Rim : 8.5Jx19 ET55

So it seams that they both have the same Thread size, Center Bore and 19" rim width and bolt pattern !

Stock Tesla 19 Wheel is
235/40ZR19
96W

But is the NSX offset 55mm compared to 40mm Tesla ?

What does that mean in practical terms as to usability ?
and is it just a simple fix of adding a 15mm spacer ?

How is the hub different ?

What else needs to be checked or modified ?

So far I have not found a weight listed for the NSX wheel... so that may need more investigation to verify that it is not too heavy .

Less aerodynamic I guess.

 

[Wennfred]

They are also 22 Lbs heavy, too bad because those I would switch too in a heartbeat if they were a fit.

Thanks Pound , that is very close to the NSX wheel look for sure !

And it looks like we can get it in the 18” size as well , as I would like to keep my car to the stock aero wheel size if possible.

At 8.5 kg (18.73 lbs) for the 18” , I will have to look up how that compares to the aero wheel weight .

• Tesla model 3: Weight: 21.6 lbs (Without Aero Cover), 23 lbs (With Aero Cover)

Prodigy, NSX replica wheel has a weight of 18.75 lbs

So a savings of about 2.85 lbs over the stock wheel without cover.

I know nothing about wheel design, but am thinking that the weight savings should make up for less aerodynamic design ( compared to driving stock wheel without the cover ) ?
