TSportLine wheels OK?

[Dan203]

I need some 18" wheels that will fit over my Performance brakes and hold all season tires. I found the ones on tsportline.com that aren't terribly expensive, look similar to the factory wheels and claim to fit the Performance brakes. Anyone here have a set of these? Are they OK? Decent quality? Good shipping?

They were recommended to me by a tesla tech ... said they are forged aluminum and not cast like the OE wheels ..planning on getting a set myself but they are pricey ..but half the cost of new OE wheels

I bought a set of staggered 20's for my Model S and they are very nice. There was an issue where a narrow front rim got boxed in a wide rear rim box and got shipped to me but they realized the mistake before I did and immediately shipped the correct one and had the return picked up and I didn't have to do anything. I use them as my winter rims and three seasons with no problems.

They're less than 1/2 what I paid for a set of wheels for my BMW so they seem reasonable to me.

Does anyone have any experience with the sets that include tires per-installed? I got a set like that from BMW and the tires were so out of round that they caused my wheel to shake for like a year. I finally replaced the tires, but kept the wheels, and the shake went away.

I’ve had good luck with T-Sportline wheels and tires, had multiple sets (for different vehicles), I would definitely recommend them.

Like @NovemberXray , we've had multiple sets of TSportline wheels/tires and just wheels over the past three years. The products received and shipping have all been great. We'd definitely recommend them as well.

If I buy a set complete with tires who would I get to install them? Can’t imagine a tire shop would be trilled to install wheels/tires I bought somewhere else. Would Tesla do it?

My local tire shop does all my tire and wheel work even though I didn't buy them there. They charge me for it of course, I think most shops have a rate for carry-in items. On a recent 10K mile road trip I needed new tires mid trip and I had them shipped from Tire Rack to a Firestone store along my route and they did all the mounting and balancing for 60 bucks.

Oh ok. I didn't think they'd want to do that. Is this essentially the same as a "seasonal changeover"?

Maybe, back before I had a second set of wheels my shop called a "seasonal changeover" dismounting the summer tires from the rims and remounting the winter tires.

Oh OK, so not that. Just looking at the website of local places and that was an option for a scheduled service. Guess I'll have to call when I get everything. (still waiting for my car)
