Without overcomplicating this thread, I've heard Tesla's "like" a taller diameter wheel, they would rather a 20" or 19" then a 18" or 17". I know with regular ICE vehicles the size of the wheel can affect gearing, since we don't have gears how does it work for us? To set the line I use my Tesla for straight line drag racing, so I'm mainly looking to get down the track the fastest as possible of course. I know rotational mass is huge which is my main goal to cut down on now. I have my eyes on some Volk Racing TE37 SL Wheels but not sure which size to go for. Does anyone have any previous experience with dragy times with a smaller diameter wheel then with a taller diameter wheel or vice versa.
Keep in mind this set of wheels / tire I'd be purchasing would be ONLY for drag strip use. I just need to know if I should get a 19" wheel (weighs a little more then the 17" or 18" wheel) if the car likes it more. Or get the lightest possible 17" wheel with some light street drags.
Let me know your thoughts please!
