    I've been on Continental PureContact LS and I highly recommend them. They're quite and comfortable, and I hardly noticed any changes going from 18" aeros to my 19" wheels with respect to noise, comfort, and range.

    I know... Finally getting my favorite wheels that I never wanted to spend money on... LOL I told myself I would never pay anything over $2K for wheels but I think its time. I'll just be envious of all the modded Tesla come April when we do EAR. LOL

    The beautiful thing about buying quality wheels that everyone wants is, there's always people that are willing to buy them used. When it's time, you can recover most of your money back.

    Looking for the cheapest 19 inch rims for my Tesla M3. Keep in mind want to keep weight of wheel around the same as stock.

    Konig may be the cheapest. Other options maybe SSR GTX01 and Gram Lights 57DR and 57CR.

    You get what you pay for... Why put cheap wheels on a Tesla? Its not a Civic. But check out: fitmentindustries.com best place to buy wheels IMHO.

    Out of curiosity, what would be considered cheap and strong?

    Most cheap aluminum wheels are strong

    Likely for CYA reasons

    They spend a little more on materials and don’t get sued

    Steel wheels are cheap and weak
