Awesome! They so sick!

The grey wheels look great! BTW, I also noticed that they list 4 USBs in the Interior section of all the model 3's.... Did they add 2 or am I missing something?

I assume that includes the 2 ports on the rear of the center console as well?

Those grey ones look really really good. I wish I had them on my P3D. I need to look into the powder coating option.

If you could get all the chrome as the dark gray like they show on the Model Y then I would like the dark grey wheels more but as is with all the other bright work I like the silver.

 

[AdamVIP]

Agreed, the grey is too light IMO and only looks good on the Red car. Need something a little darker like gun metal or just black. Wonder if they are going to roll out new brake pads for the Performance that make more dust so the wheel color is to hide that

I think the change is to get it in line with what they will be doing on the Model Y. If you look at the configurator everything is dark on the Y. Less parts to deal with. They will probably go dark trim shortly as well as everything else looks the same with the exception of the window trim.

From what I can see it looks like the new OEM Tesla grey wheels look exactly like the 19" Replka 241 wheels that I am getting for my winter setup. The Replika wheels are avavilable in 18", 19" and 20". I paid $220 Canadian each for my 19" Replika 241 wheels.

Those don’t look like Tesla’s 20” wheels to me.

My order got updated as well!
I thought it was because I requested the change but it looks like they blanket changed all the orders not filled.
AWESOME!!!! I needed a win...

The charcoal gray wheel looks best on this car, esp with white exterior ...imho.

I love having contrasts done appropriately. These are satin titanium but nearly look black depending on sunlight and angle.

 

[Shemp]

damn... white with the Chrome Delete kit with black or grey wheels looks so choice.

 

[stirgeon]

My Performance M3 is all black and I got the 20' wheels powdercoated

 

[oripaamoni]

Damn wish they offered this a month ago, That is exactly the color I am planning to get my 20" powder coated. Might just plasti dip, spent too much already considered all the PPF (full front and rear) the chrome delete, tint, and the hitch.

That being said I got my P3D+ at the lowest price it was ever offered so that doesn't suck.

Yes on closer inspection they are a little different from my grey Replika 241 19" winter wheels. I am OK with that because they will stand out a little bit from the grey wheels that now come standard with the Model 3 performance package.

Did your price increase by $1k?

Per Electrek, the Black wheel color is the more popular choice in the polls for wheels by a large margin, so the move makes sense if Tesla has taken this into account and made the switch to try to push more sales for what most people generally prefer.

chrome <> silver. These are two entirely different finishes. I prefer silver to grey. And both to chrome. I will never run chrome wheels.
