Which aftermarket wheels look best on a Tesla Model 3 Highland?

Quick follow up to that since you're in SoCal... are you planning on lowering the Highland at all or staying at stock height? Just asking because that flush fitment you want really depends on the drop, and 19s can sometimes look a bit small if the gap is too big. Knowing if you're going with springs later would definitely change what offset you should look for. If you're trying to stay under that $3000 mark including taxes and shipping, you might want to consider Fast Wheels EV01(+) 19x8.5 5x114.3 in their titanium finish. They have removable aero inserts so you can keep the range for those Vegas trips but take them off when you want that open-spoke look. It's a solid way to save money on charging while still having a show wheel for the weekends. I would suggest being careful with bronze on the Ultra Red tho... some shades of bronze can clash hard with the new paint depth. If you go that route, try to find a matte antique bronze rather than a bright gold. Also, make sure to check the load ratings on whatever you buy. The Highland is heavy and some cheaper wheels aren't actually rated for the weight of the battery pack over long periods. I would suggest checking out Titan 7 T-S5 Forged 19x9.0 too. They're fully forged and usually hover right around your budget limit if you catch a sale. They have a more technical, sharp look that matches those new headlights really well. Just gotta be sure about the offset so you don't get any rubbing on the inner liner.

Regarding what #3 said about the aftermarket scene being a mess right now... hes totally right. I have been pretty disappointed with some of the newer flow-formed stuff lately because the finish quality just isnt what it used to be. Its a bummer when you drop 3k and see chips a month later. Since you are looking for that sharp Highland vibe, I would look at the Apex VS-5RS 19x9.5 ET35 Forged Wheels in Satin Bronze. They are lightweight, super strong, and actually engineered for the weight of the Model 3. Quick tips for the setup:

• Stick with a +35 offset to get that flush look you want without spacers.
• Double check the load ratings specifically since the Highland is a heavy car. So we have basically covered the TSportline route, the gap issues if you dont lower it, and the quality risks. Bronze on Ultra Red is definitely the move tho, ngl.

Honestly I just saw an Ultra Red with the TSportline TSS 19 inch Flow Forged Wheels in Satin Black and it looked amazing! I used to be so paranoid about aftermarket safety but these are super reliable. I actually did a similar swap on my old Tesla and the peace of mind with a TUV-spec style wheel is fantastic. That sleek Highland nose loves the thinner spokes, totally transforms the car!

@Reply #2 - good point! honestly tho i have to disagree with the rush to buy right now. in my experience, the aftermarket scene for a brand new release like the highland is always a total mess. ive tried many brands over the years and the lack of quality standards today is honestly ridiculous. it drives me crazy that we are expected to pay premium prices for what is often a subpar experience.

• blatant price gouging under the guise of new development
• inconsistent manufacturing quality that brands wont admit to
• misleading marketing about load ratings for the heavier 2024 specs it is such a scam how every refresh becomes an excuse to hike the tesla tax another 20%. the industry just doesnt care about the consumer anymore. it makes customizing a car feel like you are just getting ripped off at every turn. honestly just a headache trying to find anything worth the money lately...
