Model 3 19" Wheel Options in Australia

[stinger01]

Hi,

I'm looking for some black or gunmetal grey rims for a Model 3 LR to replace the stock rims.

Can anyone please recommend some brands and models I can look at that would be a perfect fit for the model 3 and support the TPMS?

Thanks!

I ordered in some T-Sportline wheels for my P. Went with the Arachnid style as found on the plaid. Delivery took about a week. Made specifically for the model 3 so there are no issues with fit or TPMS

Have you considered getting the Tesla wheels powdercoated black or gunmetal? I've seen a few LRs around with the stock wheels in a different colour and they look great.

Thanks for the suggestion, the TSS ones look great and shipping is reasonable. What colour did you get? I'm wondering if space grey or satin black would suit a red car more.

Ahh yeah, I had considered it but was quoted $500-$600 per wheel so I figure I'll just pay a bit extra for new rims instead.

I got Space Grey, but I’d probably go Satin Black with a red car, especially since the newer cars have blacked out trim.

I've found a place that is approx $200 to paint the wheels so I'm back to considering this as an option.

Where's this place. I'm interested in changing the colour. Is it paint or powder coat

Did you notice any improvements in efficiency or performance/speed going from 20in to 19inch in the Performance model 3?

I went to 18"

My main objective was pothole resistance, but yes efficiency has improved a little, around 8%. In relation to performance, difficult to say without any measuring equipment other than "seat of the pants".



Engineering Explained did a decent test: (skip to 14m30)

For what it's worth, they run 18" wheels on the Model 3 race vehicles at Pikes Peak.
