What happens to the aero wheels when I purchase the upgraded sport wheel package?

Aeros for winter would boost your range a little at a time when range is normally decreasing significantly due to cold and snow.

The standard tire is usually all weather M&S so you could try a winter with them and see how it goes.

Sport wheels would probably come with summer performance tires, if the X and S are any indication. You'd have to get winter tires.

It seems like you can find third party sport wheels/tires at a better price than the Tesla upgrade.

I'd try the aeros to start and then get after market sport wheels with summer tires if you feel like it later.

I agree @Trips - seems like the wheel upgrade from Tesla really only makes a ton of sense for people living south or coastal. Here in the Midwest, snow tires are pretty important - don't feel like you can spend $1500 AND buy aftermarket wheel and tire for winter...

I hope not, I hadn't thought of that. I've been assuming 19" Model 3 wheels will come with similar all season tires as the 19" on the S. Does anybody know?

This is embarrassing but I just learned wheels and tires are two separate things. Do the aero wheels come with all-season tires?

I really want a gray wheel so hopefully someone creates an aftermarket.

Smart ED and CPO Tesla S85 in Toronto

Affordable 19" rims that match the grey turbine look and fit Tesla center caps perfectly, no mods necessary, mount and go. $200 Canadian per rim (!!)

BTW here is a picture that is supposed to be the Aero wheels with the covers removed:

Uh, and it makes sense for people that value projecting ballerness above all else, weather conditions be damned. Upgraded sport rims = big balling.

My 7 year old gets upset when I mix them up talking about his lego sets, so I've gotten better.

while were mulling over the possibility of buying someones aero wheels off them, what do you think the going rate will be for buying from forum members? just the wheels, so not factoring tires

 

[JonathanD]

^ and that people will be buying the aeros, replacing them with aftermarket, and selling the aeros.

Methinks the secondary market will become aero-saturated so prices may get pretty reasonable.

I think so too - I just wonder what kind of a price they would pull. My current car is a 2015 Camaro and when I bought my aftermarket wheels the stock ones with just 10,000 miles on them had trouble moving at $400 for the set. Id imagine Aeros will be going well under $1000 don't you think?
