My Model 3 Perf with 19" Forged Wheels

[AppStar]

I wanted some really light forged wheels for my Model 3 Performance. Picked up these Gloss Black 19" VS Forged VS02 wheels. 19x9 in the front, 19x10 in the rear. They weigh only 44.53 lbs with the tires on! For comparison the stock Tesla 18"s without aero caps weigh 46.95 lbs with the tires on. Thanks to @Josh@GYW for the hook up!

Very nice. I ordered 20” VS03 from Josh as well for Black Friday pricing. Now I’ve gotta wait 6-8 weeks for my wheels and spring can’t arrive soon enough.

The VS03s look awesome! Let me know what the road noise and driving comfort is like with the 20"s. I might upgrade to 20"s in the future.

What's the offset?

Do you see any improvement on the range(KWH per mile) with these lighter wheels?

Those look great. If I change wheels though I'd want something rotatable. Can you put 19x9 in front and back? Are they factory offset?

The weight of the wheels will not affect range in any significant way. It’s minimal rotational kinetic energy difference, and in any case most of the rotational energy is reclaimed during regen.

It’s tire compound & width, and aero effects (more width will also make aero worse) that are most significant for wheels.

Pick your tire carefully if you care about range!

Interesting about the weight. I just weighed the 20’s, and they are 53.6. I figured there would be a greater difference between it and the 18’s.

@Josh@GYW do you have VS02 for 18x8.5 and what's the weight of each wheel?

What are you replacing them with? Back to stock or new wheel set up?

I really like the look of the arachnid wheels, I'm going up to 20" matte black from TSportline. The TSportline is actually a lower quality heaver wheel than the VS02 but nobody makes a forged version that fits Model 3.

I know this was a year ago but how much discount did they give? Hopefully they will have one this year!

New to wheel stuff, is this still true? I'm looking at VS08, should I be concerned?

It was $300 off a set last year. I checked and no plans for VS Forged to have BF sale when I asked last month.
