OEM Wheels from another manufacturer?

[TwoK4drSi]

I hope I don’t get flamed on this and it might be a silly question but has anyone thought about putting OEM Wheels from another manufacture? I’m just browsing around and there’s tons of nice 20” wheels at 5x114.3 that I’m coming across. These for example look like the T sportlines and I can find a complete set easily for $700. Also the thinking is that if one does fail...instead of trying to reorder one wheel at an exuberant price you can grab source another wheel/set easily. Of course you need to make sure you get Hub centric rings for the different bore and make sure the offset fits. Thoughts?

Why not? Who cares what other people think. As long as the bore / offset / etc fit. Only thing is to make sure to compare apples to apples.

Titan-7 are forged. The TSS (niiiiiccceee) are flow-formed

Fast wheels in Canada (Fastco) is releasing a set of Tesla specific aero wheels next spring. I have pictures of the prototypes but I can't post until next week.

Not just oem, aftermarket selections for other model/make are so much larger than Tesla, as long as all the measurement fits, why not... but usually there’s something slightly off such as hub (which you can buy ring adapters), or a lot of Jdm 5x114.3 are m12 (may need to drill out)...

Trying to add images but not enough posts I guess.

If it fits and you like it go for it. There are a lot of good looking OEM wheels I would consider but most don't have the right bolt pattern.

Looks like the only one I can find is Ford Mustangs. Japanese companies use m12 studs

Still trying to post a picture of the Tesla specific EVO1+ Aero wheel from Fastco, how many posts do I need to be able to do that?

I'm not following you; I swear.

I found some Mercedes wheels I liked a lot and felt they suited the Model 3 well.
Mercedes wheel Specs:
Size:19x8.5 Offset: ET52 Bolt pattern: 5x112 Center-bore: 66.5mm
Every measurement except size did not match that of the Model 3: The Tesla Model 3 Wheel and Tire Guide

I had some custom adapters made at 20mm and 25mm thickness front and rear respectively. This would take the offsets to ET32 front and ET27 rear. The adapters converted the bolt pattern and center-bore as well.

I wrapped them in 245/40/19 Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+
