Aftermarket Wheels on Model 3

Definitely not any version of an ultimate solution for performance but perhaps one way of improving range. Curious why you don't consider putting on the UP front spoiler and just lowering the car a bit. That makes a bigger difference than the Aero Wheels in terms of drag, and improves the look of the car too. Aero Wheels on the other hand aren't going to win any style contests. And for sure the 18-inch wheel itself looks too small relative to the wheel openings.
If you build it, they will come.
12000 bucks for a wheels that will increase your range a bit? That seems like a wild stretch. Guys will spend that much money to improve performance and looks but not range. Sorry, that's an item with an incredibly small Market

If anyone wants the Brixton RF7 wheels...
Only 3 sets of satin anthracite left. I'm offering an even steeper discount off the last satin black set due to some TINY blemishes on 1 wheel from shipping. PM me if you're interested in the last satin black or satin anthracite sets.
Retail for a set brand new is $2730, I'm selling this specific set for SOLD shipped in continental US! Last set so once this sells, it's gone!
Here's pictures of the tiny blemishes:

Thanks for letting me know. Not sure why that's happening. It's visible on my end. If anyone wants to see them, just pm me with your email address if this isn't working.

Actually I AM considering doing both mods, you asking yourself why I'm not considering those is a total assumption.
Yet, with those two mods, I am still looking for a wheel solution - one which is lighter, has better aero, and fits over performance brakes.
I'd spend on both. And a lighter wheel with aero would be BOTH a performance and a range improvement. Not just a range improvement.

Not my job nor would I ever spend a second of my time doing that for you sir. Oh, and lets not forget the current Aero's DONT FIT on Performance Model 3's!
Good luck!

heh, it wouldn't be for him- it'd be for you
If you can't find at least 5 people who want a highly custom part made for general sale it's not gonna get made
See all the previous custom/group buys where nobody was going to make something custom and expensive without a minimum number of willing buyers.
It's not for me - it's about your claim that there is a market for such an item.. Like I said good luck with your notion that there's a big market for aero type carbon fiber Wheels in an 18 inch size that will fit a performance model 3. See if you can find even just two other people willing to spend $12,000 on that. The fact that you're willing to spend $12,000 isn't contested. It's your claim that there's a real market for it like you said "if you build it they will come". No . . . . they won't. And unless you can convince a manufacturer that there is in fact a market for such an incredibly unusual item, you won't find it being made and therefore you won't be able to get it. Just basic economic theory

I'd be willing to bet that in the Tesla Corsa crowd you could find 10 guys who'd want those wheels given the advantage they'd provide.
and i'd be happy to see them in 18 or 19.

Ummmm..... looks at performance model 3 in garage that came with 18" aeros..... blinks rapidly.

yeah i'm gonna call bs on that one. first off the M3 performance has different hubs, and secondly there's no option on the ordering page to order them without the 20's. post up some pics of those Aero's covering your Performance calipers.
I'd happily be wrong here. Truly. I'd be stoked if the factory Aero's fit over the Model 3 Performance brakes, and then mated with the larger hub. Maybe if you used a spacer / had the wheels milled out to fit the larger hubs.
oh and how do you explain the link in your signature to "DIY painted calipers". which showed your non Performance model calipers pre and post paint job. nice.

You are wrong. They offered performance without the PUP (performance upgrade package) early on. These are known as "stealth" performance cars and were readily available up through Sep/Oct 2018. They don't come with the upgraded breaks, spoiler or pedals. It's basically an AWD format but with the performance speed.
Since your edit still shows you don't know what you are talking about.
