Wheels on Model 3 Perf without upgrade package

[Knightshade]

Staggered generally adds understeer... so far I've seen no good (objective) reason to go staggered and several reasons not to on the model 3. If you're doing it for looks that's a different thing.

I plan to request 19” wheels at delivery for my P3D-

Cost will be the same as what non P upgrade wheels would be. $1500.

You should have had that option in your poll.

That way you get credit for your Aeros.

Depending on color Aeros might look fine.

Wait what? I can do that? I would have upgraded to 19's if it was an option.

My plan was to settle with the ugly 18's with the cap kit. Always hating them.

I was told you could "Swap" them. Someone else here thinks you can only "Buy" them.

Alright I found some interesting wheel options from talking to GetYourWheels.

1. 19" TSW Bathurst's are 21.4lbs per wheel for each 19x9.5 +39 pics
2. Stance SF03 are around 22 lbs, pics
3. Vertini RF1.2 around 22 lbs, pics

These sets are all around $1300.

Finally made my decision. Went with 19" VMR V710 gunmetal. Decent price ($1070 before tax), local to me so I can pickup and relatively light at 24.5 lbs and super nice looking. They modify the rims in house to perfectly fit your car and seemed to be familiar with model 3s.

19s with lightweight aftermarket wheels and save the 18s for winter if you’re in a snow state.

As far as track use, the choice of tire will make much more difference than the weight of the wheel, especially with something with as much torque as a Tesla.

With real racing, where the winner gets paid huge sums of money, a lighter weight wheel can be justified. For a typical club track day it would be difficult to justify.

High end, lightweight wheels will also give a certain amount of street cred. Nothing makes quite as much visual improvement as a nice set of rims.
