[markman69]

Had mine powder coated black/purple. Black in low light and purple in standard light.

I absolutely would have bought the gray if they were an option when I bought.

Yes! I did not upgrade the wheels on my 3 because I wanted 20" performance wheels, but in black. Close enough, going to get these and drop it.

Did you get the Tesla logo painted on the rear calipers? I just had my calipers painted last weekend and my guys told me they were unable to get the logo on the rear calipers because of how tiny the calipers were...

Can you post a clear pic of your rears?

The Tesla logos are high-temperature vinyl stickers. The guy who did my calipers had smaller versions to fit the smaller rear caliper. He did a clear coat over them after he put them on.

Thank you!! Do you happen to have access to a link of those smaller vinyl's?

 

[webbah]

have you noticed any decrease in range with those brixtons? i'm really contemplating purchasing those. any chance you can post more pics/ from different angles?

Nothing noticeable to be honest going from stock 20’s to these. These are lighter than the stock wheels but I chose a staggered setup with 10.5 inch wide in the back to have flush tires with the fenders. That will affect range a little bit. I personally don’t worry about losing a few km’s and just enjoy my car.

OCDetailing in Fremont. Cost about $800

that's where i had mine done - satin black

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.

What doesn't make sense is that they haven't been offering these all along in both 19 and 20!

Yes to both questions on "wheel" and "non-refundable fee" above and another yes for the title above for "late".

Did the wheels that come on the Performance 3 change from silver to black/gray?

 

[AndrewAllen]

Yes

 

[Eclipso]

Ill second that yes, just built one and it had grey.

 

[bdub85]

Of course this would happen.

 

[Mrcarcrazy]

Hmm. I like. Not sure if it’s better or worse than the silver. But it’s not offensive at all.

Silver 20” definitely pops more in the Performance. Gray is more subdued and not as eye catching. I love the silver more esp for pearl white cars.

 

[Kleenerth3]

I love having contrasts done appropriately. These are satin titanium but nearly look black depending on sunlight and angle.View attachment 467143

Dude! Beautiful 3! That's how chrome delete should look, as a bitchin highlight and nice contrast. I absolutely hate that look on black. Looks awesome on the dark metallic colors. On yours... BAM!!! The rims are the icing on the cake. Well done

Mine have the logo too when I got them painted but I had to ask special for them.

Just placed my order on 10/16 under the $2500 deposit and it had the silver 20”s. It was updated 10/17 to the Grey. I dropped in yesterday to confirm that I would be getting the grey wheels and was told by my guy that I would indeed. My order should be updated I’m the system shortly.

Anyone hearing anything different?
