Pics of Model 3 with Grey Performance Wheels

Welcome. What is a performance wheel? Is that just a marketing statement or is there something special about such wheels?

 

Ah, OK. Yet I wonder why they are called performance wheels.

 

Here's mine from the day I picked it up 10 days ago.

I have a set of Martian MW03 18" wheels en route to use as winter wheels.

 

On the contrary, the 20" wheels on the M3 are far from performance wheels, the makeup, and weight are in no way geared toward performance. If anything they slow the car down and compromise the ride quality significantly. They should change the wording....

 

Hmmm, that's what I was wondering. Every company seems to like to use the word "Performance" to make us think we are getting something special. One example that comes to mind is when I bought a set of the fancier brake and accelerator covers, they called them performance.... yea right, like I am going to get better performance with those pads

 

Mine...

 

Snapped this of a white performace with grey wheels at a supercharger. They picked it up that same day.

 

Here is Tessie..I went with Grey powder coating on the OEM wheels to match the carbon fiber chrome delete.

 

Here's mine. Check out the key scratch on my front fender, happened 1 week after delivery

 

That sucks. Any Sentry footage?

 

I had it active, but the front fenders are a dead zone for SentryCam. You can see straight out the front, and to the rear on both sides, but those front forward facing side pillar cams don't get logged in SentryCam

 

Recent trip to some backroads.

 

After having lightweight wheels as winter setup I hate the 20” performance wheels. They feel heavy and car feels slower to respond I plan getting rid of them and get some lightweight forged in 19” for summer also.
