(First ever post🙈) 23’ M3P: Here is your confirmation if you’ve thought about adding aftermarket wheels. I found this same setup a long while ago and finally took the leap! And no regrets; well not until after the first official daily trip. Range realistically will be affected because of physics. In town stop and go will help realize it but it’s not drastic change in range. Once you hit the highway it balances out. My daily work/life commuting has roughly stayed the same. You will feel added duration to get your desired speed. But as a Performance you can still compensate. I live in South Texas so I guess climates benefit my battery. Have yet to do an hour plus roadtrip but anticipating an increase in battery loss and charging time. But that’s the cost of aesthetics and range efficiency. I hope this helps the next person 🫡

What am I looking at in the second photo.. you bought 2 tires and 3 wheels?!

FamousStore150 2025-12-18 04:05

Bro, I’m not even kidding. I have the exact same car, tires and rims. Looks amazing! I love the Mazzanti rims but the edge really sticks out from the tire. I bought a set of Linx rim protectors. They have saved me some serious pain on the road rash front. [RBBCPA Tesla M3P](https://imgur.com/gallery/looking-good-qnkqEAG)

Hey there, the order was split in separate orders (stores limitations). But the snip is showing you my tire and wheel choice as reference

DrStevenStrange07 2025-12-18 04:07

May we convert all M3P Metallic Blue into this set up! 🔥

FamousStore150 2025-12-18 04:10

No doubt! Congrats on the car and the “look”.

Wheels are beautiful

Clean AF

DrStevenStrange07 2025-12-18 04:18

Thank you very much! I admire every time I hop in ☺️

DrStevenStrange07 2025-12-18 04:21

Syntality 2025-12-18 04:25

DrStevenStrange07 2025-12-18 04:29

Roll the car out of the carport and snap some more pics to share! Glad you went with what you like and not ask the forums. Thumbs up

How are the tires, quiet?

DrStevenStrange07 2025-12-18 04:40

Haha! I’m a reverse parker so believe I have my method down. The driver’s side has the sidewalk curb. Those are the ones I look out for 🥲

DrStevenStrange07 2025-12-18 04:43

If I have the time I would share some more! Coincidentally, I saw a picture of someone’s M3P with the set up a long time ago. So not an ask, but someone gave me an inspiration to modify! So thanks to the Redditor 🫡

DrStevenStrange07 2025-12-18 04:45

Ah, the one topic I forgot to mention. It’s not an ugly sound or one to be worried about but it will just depend on the circumstances. Speed and wind. I do about 80 percent commute to work going and coming. About 70-80 mph. And it’s not consciously noticeable, but you can catch it sometimes. First few days I wasn’t playing music to get the whole feel lol

DrStevenStrange07 2025-12-18 04:46

*because of the wheels ☝🏼 tires I’ve had them prior with the stock wheels and no noise

DrStevenStrange07 2025-12-18 04:49

I’m checking out Linz Rim Protector, wow that’s gonna be my next purchase. Which color did you choose??

Certain_Ad6820 2025-12-18 05:04

Proper. ✨👌🏾

DrStevenStrange07 2025-12-18 05:05

Very demure 🤌🏻👌🏻

Lostonyourbike 2025-12-18 05:16

The rims look great. How are you liking the hankook tires?

DrStevenStrange07 2025-12-18 05:22

Thanks! I got hankook ever since I wore out the stock winter tires. I live in Texas so these has handled very well and barely reached its need to replace. 10k miles and if I recall a year? Discount tires as well recommends them after I did my research

FamousStore150 2025-12-18 05:31

I went with black. They’re installed with an adhesive that is very durable. I got my M3P up to 115 mph today and I was sure the centrifugal force would throw the protectors off. I got home and they were solid.

drivejumpfly 2025-12-18 06:31

Gold / bronze with a blue car is a great combo.

zenety 2025-12-18 09:08

Ever thought of running 19 inches? I'm debating this right now because I am a bit sick of how hard the 20 inches ride. But these 20 inches looks amazing. '21 M3P driver here :D

strafinjr 2025-12-18 09:41

I thought of getting these but they are heavy af!! Heavier than the Ubers!! I saw at 20” they weigh around 37 lbs, compared to 32 lbs! Definitely look so nice but decreased performance :(

rupees_al 2025-12-18 10:05

Me too. I was waiting to see the other side with a std wheel lol...

DrStevenStrange07 2025-12-18 13:01

It wasn’t by chance I wanted Blue ☺️

DrStevenStrange07 2025-12-18 13:05

I thought of the 18/19 route long before considering these wheels. But it’s a whole change up with suspension and leveling. So I gave up. I never felt like fully missing out with the 20’s but I know for sure you get an increase with the change. Now 21’s I ain’t ever seen one with them 🫣🫣

DrStevenStrange07 2025-12-18 13:09

Believe me I struggled on the debate for this trade off. But the decreased is substantial in stop and go locations and zipping through a highway. After two years. I wanted this choice ☺️ I hope there’s an alternative similar style but lighter (but maybe more pricey 😩)

born_reddy0622 2025-12-18 13:20

Nice 4x4 maybe want to lower it

DrStevenStrange07 2025-12-18 13:35

Has been a thought of mine a long while ago. Risking it in sus speed bump/humps and pot holes would be the death of me

DrStevenStrange07 2025-12-18 13:35

I appreciate the suggestion, I was unsure which color to use on!

Suvi2k 2025-12-18 16:51

I like the stance overall. 👍🏽

DrStevenStrange07 2025-12-18 17:11

Much appreciated! 🫡

Status_Bluebird_2308 2025-12-22 16:43

Looks good, but needs low

DrStevenStrange07 2025-12-22 17:43

I’m nervous to get hurt during a speed bump or pot hole

Status_Bluebird_2308 2025-12-22 17:49

Fair enough!
