    To all potential Tesla Model Y owners, we started a wheel and tire guide!

    Since the 2020 Tesla Model Y has not been released, this is a guide based on information to the best of our knowledge. The information in this guide is based on photos, insider data, and sightings of the Tesla Model Y prototypes.

    Would you be able to provide an best-guess weight for the model y wheels? it shows TBD but a range would be interesting to consider (i.e., 25-28 lbs ea for 21" performance wheels...)

    Will all sizes of your wheels clear the performance brake calipers?

    Is it possible to buy one wheel. I like to keep a spare for long distance trips.

    Keeping my flow forged 19" TST (currently on my Model 3) as backup/spare for my future Model Y.

    I was unsure if the 900kg/1,980 lbs load rating for 19" TST is enough for (presumably) heavier Model Y.

    @Tsportline: Can you verify that the flow forged 19" TST load rating is good for Model Y?

    Thanks.

    @Tsportline, do you plan to release new 21" wheels compatible with Performance Model Y?

    For your reference, Tesla Model S 21X8.5" Front, 21x9.0" Rear Twin Turbines are 33.8-35.8 lbs. More info here.

    Yes, if the same Model 3 performance brakes are used.

    Our flow forged wheels will be available for spares/replacements.

    Yes, the 19x8.5" TST Flow Forged Wheels are load rated for the Model X Performance (P100D).

    Yes, those wheels look great on the Model Y, except they are for a Model S with F: 21x9.0" / R: 21x9.5"
    The Model Y Performance has F: 21x9.5" / R: 21x10.0". Will you be making this wheel compatible with MY Performance front and back wheel sizes? I don't want to buy new tires, I want to put the stock MY Performance tires on your new wheels.

    That's very good to hear. Can you provide an estimate of when you'll be releasing your Model Y wheels? I'd like to take advantage of your trade-in discount for the stock wheels which requires they have fewer than 100 miles on them. I may be receiving a Model Y soon (MYP, Black interior, FSD, SoCal) so I'd need the new wheels shortly after taking receipt of the car. Otherwise, I'll need to shop elsewhere.

    Read as: Here's an unnecessary threat about where I take my business...

    They bring a good product to market and we're all sure working as fast as possible as details emerge on the Y. Example as even noted above, before starting wheel production, things like brake caliper size need to be confirmed. We're all excited as deliveries get started (on the P models in particular). But why not try to be kind and rational here. It'll all work out fine.

    Not a threat @rklip. I don't think the potential loss of business by one buyer is threatening to this company. It's just the nature of when I may need 3rd party wheels. I realize they're working as fast as they can and will have a good product when they do release their MY wheels. We have a set of their 20" TSS Flow Forged wheels on my wife's Model 3 and we're quite happy with them. But after several requests @Tsportline still hasn't said when they are releasing their MYP wheels - even a rough estimate would help me make some decisions. Leads me to believe it's not happening anytime soon and that would be disappointing.

    @Tsportline, are you planning to produce a set of wheels like your Model 3 TSS Flow Forged Wheel compatible for a swap with the Model Y Performance+ stock wheels (21”x9.5” F, 21”x10.0” R)?

    Will you be filling in the blanks when available? Are all offsets +45 or just the 20"? Are the 21" different from back to front?

    @Tsportline, any idea when you are going to get a hold of a Model Y for testing? I'm gonna need a set of 20x10.0" TSS wheels to replace the Uberturbines ASAP. Delivery in a couple of weeks!!!

    We have a Y coming in this month.

    We already have wheel/tire data. We just need to cross our t's and dot our i's with a physical test. The pic below is a 20x10 on a Model Y size 255/40-20" 101Y XL tire. TSS 20x10 is load rated @ 900kg.

    TBD. Likely begin with machined forged 21" wheels for Performance Owners.

    SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!! :D

    Send them to me an I'll do the test for you!!! That is the EXACT setup I'm looking for.

    I'll be the first one to order that setup from you folks. I want to get the Uberturbines off the car ASAP so I can sell them.

    Will you sell the wheels with tires as well?
