Yea they first dropped the forged language a few months back and we all got kinda scared...
Referral Reward: Forged Performance Wheels
That's flow forged. Which is still "forged", right?
That's one of my pet peeves lol i only say flow formed, most vendors say flow forged because it sounds better and makes people think of forged wheels. Not too disengenous because flow forming does provide better material properties which are similar to a fully forged wheel, but i think it's still a bit deceptive. We use flow forming machines at work for...things... and i don't believe i've ever heard someone call it flow forging.
Yep. And I'm calling an outcry of complaints that this is only compatible "with Model 3 Performance Dual Motor All-Wheel Drive with the Performance Upgrade".
Called it.
New Track Mode v2 and Track pack!?!?

Wondering if anyone has an update ? Maybe this will happen sooner than later since the first quarter push is over.
Someone on Facebook in the Tesla Model 3 group just posted that they were able to get the new wheels. They just straight-up bought the wheels and tires (just the wheels, not track pack) from Tesla and even got them to install with PS4S instead of Cup 2.
Apparently the cost was only $3K plus tax which blows my mind to be honest, unfortunately i think it's safe to say that these are not forged wheels
Also not to gatekeep or be that guy, but i'm kinda bummed these are cheaper than the stock 20" for Performance which cost $4K. Everyone and their brother will probably get the track wheels now for their regular Model 3 and it seems like putting M badges on a non-M BMW but i'm sure that's just me lol

Did they mention how? I only see the $5.5k track pack.
Apparently you ask Tesla nicely, they mentioned ordering the wheels a few weeks ago. I think it's worth emailing your service center and seeing if they can get them for you, i just booked an appointment to try getting the referral wheels again.

To be clear, i scheduled an appointment to pick up a referral reward (not purchase the wheels outright) but they replied and asked for me to confirm that i would accept tax implications by receiving the award, so that's a good sign!
Also as an update i saw another person mention on Facebook that they called a service center and were quoted $750 per wheel (without tires) to buy these by themselves.
Here ya go, also check out some of the original Track Mode V2 YouTube videos as those cars all had these wheels installed!
Copying the photo here just to keep it all in one spot, nothing against that thread and the fine gentleman who started it tho
These are missing the caps to them that cover the lugs....
I was the original leaker to these back in early February and the leaker of track pack and TMV2. They sadly are appearing not to be forged which wasn’t the original plan. But.... that means I can sorta afford them now. Good friend of mine was at the event and they said not to waste the $ on it and get CUP2 and new pads/fluid which are both musts. My cup 2 are waiting to be installed this week and new pads and fluid flush soon to follow. Imo, stick to cheaper aftermarkets instead of the “Track Pack” wheels. Save the $ and build a package yourself that fits your needs best.
Huh?
Not only are they not forged, but they are "only" 9" wide wheels which isn't that great for track use. I'm planning to keep my current 19x9.5" set for track tires and then use these as daily driver since i'm getting them for free anyway, but probably wouldn't buy these otherwise for $3K given weight and specs.
There are a few out there, but they aren't cheap and that's why we were so excited for the referral wheels when they were originally called "forged performance wheels". I'd suggest checking out Unplugged Performance wheels or Signature Wheel and also that other Aftermarket Wheel thread for more info.
