Had a previous 3 with 19” wheels and planning on getting a 2021.
I was going to get it with the 18” wheels this time as I heard it makes for a much more comfortable ride. However after doing some research, it sounds like it might make for a less engaging ride as well.
Would I really be able to tell that much of a difference between 18” and 19”, or is it something that’s really only noticeable on a track?
(note: i have never been in a model 3 with the 18” wheels)
I had the 19" and went to 18" (aftermarket). Can tell you with 100% certainty that you will enjoy the 18" much more. The ride is much better, the tires are cheaper, you have more sidewall and less worry about potholes damaging your wheels. As for handling, the steering will feel much lighter and that is better in my opinion.
