Aftermarket Wheels

Have a 2025 M3 LR RWD in Stealth Gray with the 18" Photon Wheels. Thinking of upgrading to 19". Matt Black Matt Bronze Gloss Bronze Opinions appreciated. Apologies, couldn't find a way to setup a poll.

I think any and all of these could look pretty good. My vote is on matte bronze, and I like wheels 1 and 2, but I like 2 the most. Classic design.

meds_76 2026-03-01 21:37

Thanks. The Matt Black is closest to the Warp Style that the M3P comes with hence I threw it in the mix.

TheDavidCall 2026-03-01 21:39

Agreed. I actually had the 18s on my first two Model 3s and had them powder coated matte black. It looked awesome. I haven’t done that in my newest, and for the first time I got the 19s. On my white car, I still think a bronze or even a white would look pretty good.

Those look 👌🏽. Not sure I could pull off the gloss bronze look though. Might have to be Matt.

RBBCPA_98 2026-03-01 21:47

These are Niche Mazzanti in Brushed Bronze, which I guess is somewhere between matte and gloss. Good luck!

Bronze! I am also considered getting aftermarket wheels but I’m torn on it looking like a tuner car which it isn’t.

ThottyThanos 2026-03-01 21:52

Wheel 1 or 2 look nice and clean 3rd one is too busy seems like something a lifted truck person would use. Have you thought about gloss black wheels? I had them on my last tesla but wanted to change things up and get a satin black wheels this time big regrets i think the gloss black looks a lot better in real life after all the dirt and stuff get on

meds_76 2026-03-01 21:56

Agree. The 3rd one (Gloss Bronze) does look busy and I can imagine, will be a pain to keep clean.

meds_76 2026-03-01 21:57

It's a fine line. The black would be more subtle but I just love the thought of bronze on grey.

Anyone know if any of those are more scratch resistant that the stock aero’s? Planning to replace mine soon. Not sure what I am doing differently, but recently I have rubbed a curb with bit rears, and I am fairly certain one wheel has a slight bend that is not visible on the front.

I have a set of 19" Titan TS5's on my 2019 M3P for summers. Close in design to your #2 option, however they're silver/Grey in color. They're ultra-light, weighing in at 19 lbs (no tires), but they're not very aerodynamic, which results in less efficiency, and roughly a 10% loss of range. Pic in reply...

Balancedone_1 2026-03-01 22:18

Agreed, I had a jdm car in the past with deep dish volk wheels so bronze is always a winner for me.

meds_76 2026-03-01 22:20

Nice. I'm not too bothered about loss in range. Only average around 8k per year and mostly it's in-town & local driving.

Spare_Replacement_09 2026-03-01 23:20

2nd option - Matt bronze

Shakurs2pac 2026-03-01 23:26

I like the first one

dlukz 2026-03-02 04:32

We went from 20" urberturbine to 19" ones that look very much like what you posted. My 2 cents. Don't go bigger. It may look cooler but if you don't want to crack a rim or split a sidewall, stick with 18s https://preview.redd.it/jx6fyn6v8kmg1.jpeg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b74de5fa08c2d850918baa3adcaf0dbed236d80a

I really like black wheels. Especially gloss black. Looks great with any car color

Fit_Gur_4477 2026-03-02 04:49

Try the look off it with Ai

meds_76 2026-03-02 04:55

I have tried. Both colours look decent. Black is more classic and conservative. Bronze definitely stands out more. I may end up flipping a coin

meds_76 2026-03-02 04:56

Here in the UK with our crap roads, you're probably right. 18s would be the safe bet. But I think the 19s will set it up just right as I don't plan to lower it or modify the suspension. Trying to stick as close to OEM spec as possible with size and offset as well.

Bronze. Also look at "atomic wheels"; Same available patterns. Forged. Specifically designed for Tesla model 3. Esp important on 24 to 25 m3p. Because the rear wheel has a lip at the intersection of the hub and wheel I believe

meds_76 2026-03-02 09:00

Thanks. I did come across Atomic wheels. A bit pricey for my budget - around £2k just for the wheels. I appreciate they are forged.

cac2573 2026-03-02 12:41

You’re spending 10% of the car on wheels?

meds_76 2026-03-02 12:44

4.5% actually. What's your point?

Suvi2k 2026-03-02 14:11

19’s look amazing on the M3. There are tons of people who shared their setups and use similar designed wheels. I like all 3 but for a grey car, personally I’d like something silver or gun metal. It’s subjective though.

wrathslayer 2026-03-02 15:39

I like the 2nd wheel. Either matte or shiny (if available) bronze would look good against the grey for sure. Also, if possible, you could get the calipers painted or covered blue (maybe) for a little more pop. (Just a thought) Post pics when you choose and have the new wheels on. Good luck!

meds_76 2026-03-02 15:42

Good shout on the calipers. Actually don't even know what they look like! 🤣

PugMaster007 2026-03-03 00:39

All three look like great options!

Rare-Winter3355 2026-03-03 02:12

Bronze all the way. Those are 🔥

Its_Saul_Goode 2026-03-04 03:10

I have a 2025 Model 3 Long Range with 19" Martian MW05's, which looks like option 2 you posted. https://preview.redd.it/5xtqf1el3ymg1.jpeg?width=4196&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=81fef24fb2d1e3f4aabb4510a3b7f9b1de55fcb9
