I recently acquired my Model 3 LR in the middle of September, and thoughts now turn to getting a spare set of rims with some winter tyres on them. I live in Aberdeenshire, so these things are definitely needed most winters.
The question of OEM vs aftermarket rims is one to bring up. Quite aside from differences in price, it doesn't appear as though OEM rims can be purchased from Tesla in the UK (and they are out of stock on their US website).
So:
What experience do people have of fitting aftermarket rims? Any issues to be mindful of?
The manual states these specs: 18 Inch Rims, 8.5inch width, 40mm offset, 175NM lug nut torque, 21mm socket size.
The manual also states a warning that I should only use Tesla Approved Wheels. So: If my aftermarket rims match the spec above, does that mean they are approved?
