[derichio02]

Here are a few more photos that I took earlier today.... list of mods:
H&R lowering springs
Aero mod: Full Vorsteiner Volta Aero Program. Full kit includes: front lip, side skirts, larger rear spoiler and rear diffuser (track edition). All work was performed by Vibe Motorsports in Burbank, CA View attachment 623417View attachment 623418 View attachment 623419

Were you happy with Vibe? Will be looking to lower my M3P soon. Contemplating diving out to Eibach and having them do it.

Yes, very happy with Vibe.... they were on time and very communicative.

I’m ordering the Model 3 Performance and not a fan of the Uberturbine’s. Wonder if folks have had luck trading them for the 2020 Performance wheels with folks? Seems like there are tons of folks out there that actually like the Uberturbines, maybe it’s just me.

I'm sure you'll find someone willing to trade but the hiccup comes from the new bluetooth TPMS in 2021+ Model 3s that are not backwards compatible. If you are determined you'd have to have swap them out at a tire shop.

Has anyone lowered their Model 3 LR on the new 19" sport alloys from 2021 refresh (the flat looking ones). I am looking to lower mine in a few days and add spacers as well. Was curious of the stance.
Noticed one of the chaps hyper dipped his to black and thye look nice. Might go down a similar route, but my M3 is Midnight Silver, so not sure how grey/blakc would look with the grey calipers .

I went the cheap route and Hyper Dipped my stock Premium wheels. I think they came out pretty nice.

This should be the way it comes out from factory, it looks so good I didn't even realize it was the refreshed 2021 variant haha.
I think I actually like it even better than I like the -2020 variant in silver.
Huge thumbs up!

I am looking for a trade plus cash for the Uberturbine wheels. Or just selling my silver performance....

Anyone have any knowledge of Klutch wheels?

Straight on to winter tyres after delivery since I live in Norway and it was already winter.

AEZ Steam 20"

Downsized from the 20" Uberturbines to 18" ESR RF1. Didn't make a noticeable difference in fitment even tho the RF1 wheels are +30 offset. But they are 8.5" wide compared to the 20" Uberturbines which are 9" wide. Wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport AS 4.

I posted a separate thread but also letting those who follow this one know that APEX is releasing a direct fit forged version of their EC-7 wheels for the Model 3. Email Cory at APEX if you're interested: [email protected]. They're not released yet but are coming soon. APEX sells similarly sized versions of this rim for BMW fitment for $655. I told Cory i'd spread the word as i'm excited for these to come out (a wide, high-quality 18" forged rim)!

Need some weights on these bad boys

 

[TwoK4drSi]

Looking for a 18” setup where spoke design looks similar to the aero wheels. 8x18 or 8.5x18 with ET30-35. Hit me

You mean this? This is a 19x9.5 ET 35 though. Flow formed @pdx_m3s

Alcon RC6 400mm and HRE FF01

Love bbk a behind big wheels. The back bbk is meh. I wish the rear was more like rotora where it’s integrated

 

[Weeee!]

Picked up my Performance 3 Stealth from Fremont on Dec 19th & did a few mods the same week.
Eibach ProKit
SSR GTX01 19x9.5 +35 square setup on 265/35 tires

APEX said they weighed in around 19lbs, carrying a 1700lb load rating

Anyone know of any wheels that is a straight swap for OEM 2021 refresh 19” ones please? Apart from T-sport line which are out of my budget, I am looking for wheels in the UK that don’t require any mods and are a drop-in replacement for stock wheels. Every wheel listed here is from a company based in USA, so curious if anyone from UK has found a good set of wheels?

The rear bbk will cost more than the front, even 4pot rear + e-brake....totally not worth it. I will go for floating 370mm disc with also pattern and stock caliper.

There's plenty of choices, if you're not looking for custom made wheels. The ones that come to mind for me personally when I did my initial search for aftermarket wheels before going with fully forged are TSW (Bathurst), Konig (ampliforms, rennform), and a couple from Enkei.

I know you're in the UK, but you can check out tirerack and evasive motorsports sites for some of these.

Will do cheers. I am keeping a budget of less than £1000 for the set. Honestly, if I get a set of 19” OEM stilettos (the ones prior to the 2021 refresh), I will snap them up; but they are hard to come by on eBay UK or thereabouts
