T Sportline 18 inch turbines

[harcocjh]

If anyone has a metallic silver model 3 with the silver 18" TST's I'd love to see some pics. Tsportline has some shots on their site but just looking for a few more before pulling the trigger. Thanks!

Ordered T-Sportline 18" Brilliant Silver on Sept,13, M3 delivered Sept 24, Installed Sept 29 View attachment 343224 View attachment 343225

Hi!
Hello from Spain, Model 3 have just arrived to Europe, hope to have mine soon. I just ordered a red Model 3, and I'm thinking on upgrading default Aero wheels to TST 18".
I saw your 2 pictures of red M3 with TST 18. Could you please do some more photos from diferrent angles and post them?
Thank you!!

It will be also very interesting if you could post feedback about the TST 18" driving sensations. Smooth driving? Efficiency similar to aeros? Any issue?

Amazing! It would be nice also if current users of these wheel can post their experience. Thanks in advance

I’ve got the space gray on my silver metallic Performance. Very happy with them. No issues with the tight caliper clearance and snow.

Thanks Thelocnar. The 18" TST wheels are load rated to 750 kg each. If you multiply by 4 it is 3.000 kg which is far more the car's weight.
But a question is when you're taking turns strong with the car. If you push hard to a left turn and reducing then all the vehicle's load go to the front right wheel. Could this load exceed the rated load for the wheels?
I've tried to find the original Tesla's wheels rated load but I didn't find this information

You’ll be fine.

Any issues running the 18" TSTs for the Performance Model 3 on the RWD variant? @Tsportline

All Model 3 TSTs will fit any Model 3 variant.

All Model 3 TSTs will fit any Model 3 variant.

Curious as to why there are different part numbers for each variant then? Also, are all the TSTs now made to be able to accept that extra lip on the hub of the Performance Model 3?

@Tsportline Have you guys ever thought of making your own type of 19" performance/aeros like the China models? Just BC it's a missing item for the US market!

Just a reference number for the item.

Yes

@Tsportline

Are there any plans for flow formed 19" turbines?

I would also be much more interested in ordering if you offered Michelin AS3+ tires and some kind of solution for a Tesla center cap that'll match the matte or gloss black finishes.

Yes

Thank you.

I am on verge of booking Model 3 AWD. Still torn between 18 inch or 19 inch wheels - I hate the 18's but have been reading reports of significantly diminished range in 19"s (around 10% lower on average)

I have really been liking the silver 18 inch turbines and wanted to check effect on range.

@Tsportline Do you guys have any data round how these wheels impact the range versus the standard wheels with aero caps off (said to be around 300 miles in normal driving conditions)?

Also, how about the 19" flow forged wheels? how do they compare?

 

[Jedi2155]

@ICE2EVGuy Most of the range reduction is due to the choice of tire rather than the wheel itself. The spotier/grippy the tier the most range loss there is. The stock 18" tire MXM4 is an eco-focused performance all season tire. The 19" is a touring all season, and the 20" is a Ultra High Performance summer tire.

I love my TST 18" rims with stock tires. I run the stock rims with Michelin Xi-3 X ice tires in the winter with them. My speeds, hills, wind, snow, vary too much to know about efficiency. The clips on the Aeros scratch the stock rims. The TST ride smooth and handle well, with a great look, I'm completely satisfied with them!!
