Heard back from the infamous Josh with the referral program, he says the "Forged Performance Wheels for Model 3 are not yet available but are expected to move through production during the coming months" and that's about it.
At least he used the term Forged

unfortunately he just means they’re waiting for cheap Chinese knockoffs to hit the market. Not the kind of “forged” most people are excited about.
How could Tesla wait for knockoff wheels? Are you saying they’ll buy them on Alibaba? Haha.
That's also a huge pet peeve of mine, people love to say their flow formed wheels are "flow forged" and then they end up shortening that to "forged", but i see what you're saying
Knowing your luck (actually, I don't really know), they'll be available one month after winter ends and you buy new summer tires.
I need to do the same but will likely upsize my tires and get the 245/35R20's. Though I'm so close to trying 265/30R20's on the stock rims. On paper they should fit, just worried about the top suspension knuckle.

Model 3 has Arrived.
I'm been waiting forever, but I guess I'm really thinking of just buying these wheels now and continue to wait for Tesla....

I'm looking at getting another set of VMR wheels as well, heard they will be announcing a pretty good Black Friday sale in the next few days and i've been super happy with the price/strength/weight for the V710FF that i have now.
I really dislike how T-Sportline only offers a standard width (8.5") package OR a staggered one, but nothing wider in square. If they offered a wider square set, i'd probably buy it.

Hello Chris,
The Forged Performance Wheels for Model 3 are not yet available but are expected to move through production during the coming months. We expect they will be available for widespread installations early next year. The long wait is understandably frustrating, so your continued patience is appreciated!

Nice, appreciate someone else bugging Tesla every now and then to keep them honest
My only hope is that they come out before I need a new set of tires lol.
I wouldn't hold my breath. The messages i've received from the referral team essentially say "we have no information on these at all"
They don't know what they look like or sizes they'd come in and said that the fulfillment timeline has been pushed back multiple times for unknown reasons. They said their best guess for when they'd be available was early next year.

So we're still waiting to see the "track pack" for the Model 3 that has been discussed (245 Cup 2 tires & better brake pads were rumored) and i'm wondering if they would include these forged wheels with that too. Would make sense to wait to give us wheels until that new package is available, maybe a 2020 thing when the tax credit goes away.
