Aftermarket Wheels on Model 3

[Randyc1]

Your installer is correct. All this boils down to a simple conclusion - keep your wheel width really close to your section width. If you want more performance, make them the same or even slightly larger on the wheel width. If you want cheaper wheels, less weight, less vulnerability to curb rash, you can make the wheel somewhat narrower than the section width.

As for speaking to looks, this is clearly an area where beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I personally love the look of wheels and tires where the the wheel width nails the section width on the nose - and the wider wheel makes the tire look wider, which I also like.

I think one thing that can confuse many people is Wheel
width is the measurement (inside the lip)..... measurement from outside lip to outside lip is about an inch more

I just sold my Mazda CX-5. The set of Michelin tires that were on the car had 80,000 miles on them, were never rotated and probably have 15,000 to 20,000 miles left on them. AWD vehicles mantain alignment extremely well and may not need rotating depending on how the vehicle is driven...

It also had the power of a potato.

I guess it's right to add mine too on this thread.

The refreshed/updated 2021 Model 3 has the same new Bluetooth TPMS system as Model Y.
As those with Model Y's already know, these new sensors are 100% exclusive to Tesla, they are locked up solid with every type of patent imaginable, so don't expect any aftermarket solutions anytime soon.
When getting a second set of wheels for a 2021 you need to make sure you're getting these as part of the package.

Aside from the small number of manufacturers on here that make rims specifically for Tesla cars, I cant imagine other wheel companies going out of their way to add TPMS sensors. Its possible to just reuse the ones we have right?

Wheel companies don't make the TPMS sensors. It's usually an OEM or third party who makes the sensors. I'm sure they will get around to the bluetooth sensors eventually. For now, you can reuse your old sensors or pay a premium to get a set from Tesla.

Im aware of that. Im responding to your comment.

I doubt any company will be including or throwing in TPMS. Its gonna be up to the individual to take care of that. Personally, if Im unable to eruse the old ones, I would go without. I dont find TPMS all that useful.

Thanks. Just picked her up from getting Opti-coat. Bad lighting again, but she's so glossy now:

What size wheel please ,..19" or 20" ?

 

[Randyc1]

My daily setup is Signature SV103 in 19x9.5 +34 with 265/35 tires (Firestone Indy500 in those pics).
My track setup is Speedwell RS-1 in 19x9.5+35 with 265/35 RE71R

Here are a pair of more recent shot with Michelin PS4S:

with +34 squared which end is not flush ?

 

[Randyc1]

Here's my 2019 AWD, lowered 1 inch with 19X9.5 +35 offset Enkei TFR wheels and 265/35/19 Continental all around. I shaved about 14 pounds going from the 18 inch aero wheels while going up in size.

Looks awesome bud !! , is there much concavity ?

Ok, not sure if anyone has seen this but figured I'd call on the hive mind to solve this one.

Are these the SAME Wheels?!?!

*discuss*

Looks like it. And looks like I and anyone that bought them got jipped if that's legit the same rim lol


Literally half the price. Nice...

The rear. IMO, the front is near perfect, and the rear could use a few more millimeters. I wanted square, so I accept it as is. I'm also on thicker rotors, so you would get similar fitment with a +30 or 31.

T-Sportlines say they are flow form forged....the RTX are "low pressure cast".
