It would have been nice the aftermarket resellers had done their homework and tested the fitment before selling defective wheels
The burden of due diligence is not on Tesla.
Good point, I agree.

T Sportline 19s on a P3D+ rattling like crazy

Good point, I agree.

I would've been pissed! I'd never trust t-sportline after reading this... ASSUMING it would fit on a $70,000+ car from a company that claims to be tesla experts; what a joke

Re-read any disclaimers or clarifications on purchase and warranty. Make sure you even fault them before pushing it. If I had a company it would be at the owners risk as bad as it sounds. Number to hear this man. I’ve avoided TST since day one when I shopped for wheels. Got lucky with the referral program and think keeping it Kosher is best.

They did didn't they? When he contacted them they said they would be stuck on, which they were, and that they already had the exact part he would need to properly install them. So they already knew about the problem and hadn't told anyone.

Well, I was considering TSportline turbines for my upcoming P3D+ but am now afraid to. Difficult to trust a company that assumes things will work and sells a product before properly testing it. They should have waited to get a P3D+. Even if they had the specs, testing is required. Given they are Tesla-specialized, I’d expect their wheels to fit like a glove, no spacer required.

Nice! May I ask what costs are associated for a service like this?
And good lord we need to find a good winter set for the P3D+ already!!! Is that damn 3mm lip some sort of wacko non standard industry thing that Tesla is doing to only try to sell their own wheels? If not, then 1) there should be a standard name for this. 2) you would thing manufactures would have wheels with the proper fitment for these hubs. Sorry. Just venting as winter is coming.
you just need an adapter (that T sportline is sending me), i needed a center hub for my my G35 coupe with my winter setup. easy peasy, it would have just be nice to have had the adapter before installing. oh well, life is full of learning lessons.
oh and powder coating on new wheels ranges from $75-$150 per wheel depending on the shop and wheel size.

Congrats. Looks awesome!
Are your wheels dark grey or black? And what wheels did you use as they powdercoated them given your TSTs where unusable?
Also, have you lowered it?

M3P- with TST 19" wheels. Works just fine!
Yes but I believe you do not have the Performance Upgrage Package which doesn’t have the dreaded lip.
black, 50% semigloss. that pic was in direct sun so it looks gray, in person they are very black.
my car was getting modified while powdercoating, so it was on the 19” TSTs all week fortunately sitting still.
i’m getting it lowered with T sportline performace 1” lowering springs
2nd set of TPMS that way swapping is FREE (Discount Tire, Le Schwab, etc)each season or you can do it yourself for FREE
measly ~$200 on an $80k machine
