Cross climate 2 tires on 18" Dolce Stella 5 spoke silver rims. Fresh alignment. I really like the cross climate tires. Much improved over the stock ones.

Not my style but more power to you

That's a unique look! Is that the normal deep blue paint? Looks different under that lighting conditions

BreeeZe_ 2026-01-09 19:49

I think those look real good, complimenting the shiny trim nicely!

My first thought was Dodge Viper. Hope that's a compliment!

Looks ugly.

I have the same color on a 2020 model. Looks great. How are the tires, quieter than your previous ones?

DarthBlue007 2026-01-09 20:03

Yep, stock 2020 blue.

DarthBlue007 2026-01-09 20:04

If I squint my eyes I can see what you're saying. 🤣

DarthBlue007 2026-01-09 20:06

Thanks! I really like the contrast with the dark blue.

Why you gotta yuck someone elses yum?

What do you like about the cross climate 2 ? Are they quieter? Especially on grooved concrete? How are they in snow?

BreeeZe_ 2026-01-09 20:22

Agreed, I have a 2022 blue M3LR which has the black trim, just used ai to make the trim in your picture black, still looks good, maybe I should shop around for some 5 spokes too 😄 (I have the original 18” aero’s) https://preview.redd.it/styzntjhudcg1.jpeg?width=923&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b5e66d5a4704d983aff5ea1865394a15d825f2aa

Beautiful balance of chrome and silver colored parts. Well done.

It's Reddit. I knew going in I'd see posts like that because you see it every time someone posts anything not stock. One of the things I did before deciding on my rims was to scan through the posts looking at the rims other people put on their cars. Someone else also might be thinking about this look and it might help decide if that's the route they want to go. The only thing I wish about these rims is that the spokes were set a little bit deeper where they meet the rim so it doesn't look as flush. But limitations and options are scarce and I'm happy overall. 😎

They grip way better in wet conditions which I see a lot of in the PNW. I had to be really careful with the stock tires in the wet because it wasn't very hard to get them to break loose on wet corners. The CC2's are very grippy in the wet and snowy conditions making the drive much more comfortable. The noise is pretty similar to stock, perhaps a touch quieter.

DarthBlue007 2026-01-09 20:55

I would say that they are a touch quieter than stock but not a huge difference.

redirkt 2026-01-09 21:04

Kinda looks like a respectable family car now.

Mission_Wall6014 2026-01-09 21:25

Not a lot of Tesla rims I like… these I do.

vd_limitless 2026-01-09 22:04

Need lower man!

Present-Ad-9598 2026-01-09 22:12

Does look more navy than stock

alreadybeen876 2026-01-10 03:27

Those wheels look awesome! Nice!

_ZeroSeven_ 2026-01-10 06:45

Great compliment to the silver accents, I dig it.

Matheos7 2026-01-10 10:25

Wild downgrade

mattsurl 2026-01-14 12:47

Is that sonic on the center cap?

DarthBlue007 2026-01-14 17:00

That's a 3d printed Star Wars rebel center cap. A little bit of my nerd showing through. 😜

mattsurl 2026-01-14 23:10

That’s a good idea. I’ve been thinking of what other things I can print with my 3D printer. I just got carbon fiber petg too 🤔.
