Base Model Ywheels on Model 3

Render of what base Model Y wheels would look like on a Model 3 performance. I think there would be less sidewall in person. I think they look really good though. Pretty good option for a winter wheel setup.

I like it bc it looks different. The more I look, the more I like them

Right? Sleek and swoopy. Goes well with the flowing lines and spoiler.

Can you post without the aero hubs on?

Dang they look good, although I heard they look a little cheaper in person.

I like, I like!

What are you using to do the render?

I'm pretty sure there is some slight difference that doesn't allow this without modification, but I could be wrong. The Y does have my favorite wheel, though, the 19" 7-spoke. Would be great to get that on my 3.

The Model Y wheels are sunken into the mm body more due to the offset +45 vs +34 and they're wider 9.5 inches vs 9 so you would want spacers.

Crossflow wheels really suit this car

Indeed and you can put the aero covers on for increased efficiency!

Someone is selling them on eBay for $150 a piece too dang

Saw them in person the other day when I went to pickup my new Model and thought they looked good enough that I also started googling if anyone had put them on the Model 3. Render looks good. Better than the existing base wheels.

Beauty of going to wheel covers is there are designs like arachnids and helix 2 on AliExpress

You need spacers no
