Best wheels for Plaid?

[Atomic Wheels]

I’m interested in this wheel setup. Are you guys still offering the 30% discount?

No, we don't have that offer anymore.

I found a set of the Tesla branded Track Pack 20 inch wheels and like them better than the Arachnids I ordered my MSP with.

Are those the Tsportline version or the Tesla OEM version?

Tesla OEM

I think the OEM wheels actually have a small black cover over the Lugnuts, which are missing in that picture. But the wheels look great in any event!

I bought actual black lugnuts, but yeah, the covers are pretty cool.

Pretty slick. Off a private seller I assume
Are you able to set to the 20” wheels in the settings?

I don’t think you can, there isn’t an option on my plaid for 20 inch wheels. On the 19s and 21s

Do you know how this affected the range? I know the archibald wheels you lose about 45-50 miles compared to the stock long range.

Do you know how this affected the range? I know the archibald wheels you lose about 45-50 miles compared to the stock long range.

The rolling resistance of the tyre has much more impact than the wheel design. (Wheel design of course have an impact, but less).

I recently got these wheels:

I got 20x9 square (but there also are 20x10 to use rear ).
These are flow forged and a bit lighter than stock setup.
Anyway, I did get 245/40 r20 michelin e-primacy for these. This is the tyre with the lowest rolling resistance.

It made a hugh difference in efficiency from stock 21” (which I still have for days when having fun).
The design are similar to the stock rim, so the drag should be about the same.

So, even if low drag wherls are nice, the right tyre makes a bigger difference. (I did read/study tesearch sbout wheels drag).

What’s was the range difference when you went to these 20” with low rolling tires? They looks good

What’s was the range difference when you went to these 20” with low rolling tires? They looks good

At least 10% at highway speeds, I haven’t checked in detail.
Average since mounted (800km, including a 500 km drive) 166Wh/km (267Wh/mi).

Average with 21” last summer was 200Wh/km (322 Wh/km)

I run the 245’s with 3.4 bar / 48.5 psi. (Higher tyre pressure needed on a thinner tyre + high pressure = low rolling resistance)

I have 3D scanners and have scanned the new rim, will CAD parts to 3D print to make the wheels at have least as good aerodynamics as the 19” covers.
Will do it as it is possible and will be fun to see the highest possible efficiency, I will probably not use those all the time.

10% increase is a lot.

If you're looking for lightweight forged wheels, check out our [AWZZ] model, which is even lighter than the [AW01]. For instance, the 20x10.5 rims weigh only 22.7 lbs.

Looks great - what is the “standard” square setup for a 22 Plaid S as far as width - I see 9.5, 10, and 10.5 listed in this thread. Right now I have OEM Tempest 19s and would be interested in some of these wheels in a square setup so I can rotate the tires.

21” arachnid is 9.5” front, 10.5” rear.

Okay but that isn’t a square setup - I’m trying to figure out what width all 4 wheels should be and they all need to be the same. Would I go with 4 at 10.5?

Ahh, thought you asked for the stock setup.

10.5” square seems a bit wide in front.

9-10” inch if square I guess.

( My new low rolling resistance setup is 9” square with 245/40-20 but that setup is not
for performance at all. Just to drive very efficient whichp it does very well)

I think my setup is probably typical of many square setups, Tsportline's TSF:

• Size: 20x10.0" Front & Rear
• Offset: +35
• Bolt Pattern (PCD): 5x120
• Center Bore: 64.1
• Construction: Flow Forged
• Weight: 27.3 lbs
• Load Rating: 900 kg/1,980 lbs
• Tire Size: 285/35-20
