    I'm liking how those GTR look. Looks clean. Nice to see other Volks, mostly see Te37s. I liked the G025 in 20s as well.

    The weight reduction was a big plus did you weigh the GTR.

    Big difference compared to the 21' Performance wheels

    For sure that is def advantages of the weight reduction. But unlike the 21s you have some good meat on those sidewalls too, so all in all I would stay it is a win, win.

    Looks good man

    Has anyone put 18s on a long range Y? I’d like to go down to 18 for my winter wheel set up

    Yes, but you need to be very attentive to a wheel's load rating, as most 18s are not high enough for the weight of a Model Y.

    I'm all done with my Y. Tinted windows, clear PPF on front, and Martian 18" wheels with red Tesla center caps.

    No really, I’ve done everything I want to do to my Y. I even just had new winter tires installed today, on the OEM wheels for NEXT winter. Project Y done… LOL

    The only thing left are to install my fancy wheel locks when they arrive and wait for future software updates.

    What's the offset and width on your 18" wheels?
    Seems like they're sitting insider the fender more than stock 19" Gemini wheel.
    How's the drive compared to stock wheels?

    Offset is +35 and width is 8.5”. I have Michelin CrossClimate SUV 235/55 tires on the wheels, without the foam inserts the OE Continentals have.

    The ride is less bumpy due to the thicker sidewalls, steering very responsive (haven’t tried Sport mode yet), they don’t sit much farther inside the fender than the 19”’s. I’ve only been driving on them since February 24th.
