Aftermarket Wheels on Model 3

[P-Lo801]

Didn't use the rings on mine, just go through 2 seconds of aligning the lugs properly.

I know it's possible to go without them. But I figure that using the rings poses no risk either.

The FALCON WHEEL is made specifically for the Model 3 in 19" and 20" in both square and staggered fitments.

Centerbore fits all Model 3 including Performance. No additional hardware required.

Nice. I notice you have free shipping and I got a 10% off deal, but your website does not allow both. Humm, examining my options.

This is terrible advice. Please disregard.

The necessity of hubcentric rings is pretty much a myth. Not using them is completely fine. If someone doesn't know how to torque down the lugs correctly, or can't be bothered to take the extra minute then I guess they can help, but I wouldn't worry about not using them for a second.

This is terrible advice. Please disregard.

Keep in mind my wheels have aligning lugs and I was talking about those specifically. Thanks!

Also I'll add if you can't put a wheel on aligning the lugs then I probably wouldn't trust you to torque it to 129 ft lb either so I would just take your wheels to someone.

@Tsportline any thoughts on producing an Uberturbine style wheel for the Model 3 and Y?

Looks super unique that's for sure, love the rolling look.

FF01 is a great wheel. Need to see more Rotiform wheels on Model 3s!

Anyone have the monoblock forge from HRE?

That’s the flow form. It’s not forge.

After 32k miles (with 3-4 mm left) on my oem MXM4s I went with the AS 3+ and America's Tire in Santa Clara. They were great, patient, helpful, quick/on-time, and fun. They waited on the phone 30 minutes to talk to a Michelin rep and was able to prorate my MXM4s for $55/tire! This is my first time with them, will definitely go back.

As for the AS 3+, I'll give you a 1-5 comparison, where 3 is equal to the MXM4s, 1 is worse and 5 is better than.

The AS 3+ is a good looking tire (4). Definitely more aggressive looking than the MXM4s (5). Has a nice lip to protect the rim (5) (wish I had these on day 1 since it took me 4 hours to rash my first rim). Comfort-wise they feel pretty good (3), a little less harsh than my MXM4s but that's expected since they have full tread. Grip-wise, they're much, much better (5). Cornering they feel much sturdier (5). When rolling they're a bit noisier, noticeably, but not terrible (2). However, over bumps and cracks, they sound more muted (4). As for range hit, I've only done about 100 miles since we're in Shelter at Home mode so I'm not driving my normal paths, but they're definitely worse (1.5 - 2). Hopefully not terrible. With my MXM4s on my LR RWD I got an average of 230 wh/mi over 32k miles, mostly in freeway traffic. With these, I'm guessing it'll climb up to ~280-300 wh/mi. I'll update once I get more miles into it.

Hope this helps. Stay safe and healthy.

I await your feedback on range. I'm at 22k miles. My tires are still good, but I'm not going to wait until the last moment to replace them. I'm looking for a good tire, but don't want a huge hit to range.

Very nice! Do you have pics on how flush the wheels are to the fenders? Thnx!

 

[BLKMDL3]

Does anyone have any recs for some 20x8.5-9” rims that won’t break the bank. I wanna replace my stock 20s to stand apart from the pack a bit and make the car look more aggressive. I love twin 5 spoke type design. I have a set of Pilot Sport Cup 2 in 245/30/20 waiting for em. Thx!

Got T Sportline 20" TSS Flow Forged wheels with Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4 winter tires. Couldn't find a matte black Tesla center cap but otherwise really like it. Also selling them if anyone is interested now that I've changed back to the original Model 3 Performance summer wheels and tires.

 

[XLR82XS]

That’s the flow form. It’s not forge.

So? They're both 1-piece wheels.

So? They're both 1-piece wheels.

There’s a huge difference between flow form and forge. 26 lbs vs 18 lbs. 2500 vs 8000+ for a set. Strong vs super strong. Standard made vs custom made.

Anyone have the monoblock forge from HRE?

Not sure what information you’re looking for specific to HRE, but I have a monoblock set from VS Forged.

For aesthetic purposes in photos that's not really relevant.
