Trying to thread through this to find an answer, but any word on 20x9" options? Voted for 19x9 but prefer 20's.
Thanks!

It’s just that the 19s and 18s with the high profile thick sidewall rims look like rubber baby buggy bumpers. It really detracts from the sporty looks of the car.@laughdamon
Short answer is no, we never did start a group buy for 20 X 9 . It looks like TSportline might be reselling them for $4000 - $4400 for a set of 4, frankly if they were about $2800, they might be worth the occasional cracked wheel...
Here is the link to Reseller in 20 inch staggered fitment.
I can't stomach that price point and really didn't see value in a heavy wheel with lower profile tires and the road hazards that come with this config on a 4000 lb car. Has anyone else ever cracked a rim (base wheels) on their Model 3 | Tesla or Downgrading to 19″ Wheels
Additionally, the staggered fitment is not needed for performance gains on an AWD vehicle and prohibits rotating the tires front to rear for longevity and staggered is worse for handling as it introduces understeer. Staggered can be useful if there's a significant weight balance issue- but the Tesla Model 3 is ~50/50 weight distribution.
Another element to evaluate is the cost of tires for the Model 3, with little to no performance gains with a larger wheel, why would you spend so much for tires that get replaced every 10K to 20K? In the worse case scenario in the 20 inch fitment, it's $2K per year and in the best case scenario in the 20 inch fitment its $800 per year verses the best case 18 inch wheel fitment costing $ 460 for four tires...
235/45/18 $115-$225
275/40/18 $150-$300
235/40/19 $200-$300
275/35/19 $215-$350
235/35/20 $200-$300
275/30/20 $300-$500
Best bet is to email Evasive Motors and let them know you are interested. Also someone started a thread for 20's, but it died out after a couple of posts, especially when the poster got guarded about the supplier.
Caveat Emptor on the link below:
Any interest in 20 inch Mono-Block Forged Alloy Wheels by Titan 7?
@laughdamon hopefully this helps in your decision-making..
True, save the $$ you didn't blow on oversized tires and wheels on a nice upgraded suspension components which will reduce that thick sidewall look and actually help the performance and close the OEM wheel to fender gap.It’s just that the 19s and 18s with the high profile thick sidewall rims look like rubber baby buggy bumpers. It really detracts from the sporty looks of the car.

You must be looking at the 19's, that is the GB price.How do I get in on the group buy price? Website is showing $2400..
Thanks so much for the heads up @Zippy_EV ! I'm 95% sure I'm going to order the Evasive 19 x 9.5s for track use. This is a good price for fully forged wheels, and it's really nice to have an exact fit to the Model 3 Performance Upgrade brakes.I talked to Mike from Evasive and per our requests they are going to do a run of 19 x 9.5 +35 He said he'd be updating the site soon. So dust off those checkbooks track junkies.
Update: the 19 x 9.5 +35 are now listed on the website
@laughdamon Why do you want 20s? If you like the looks, fine, but be aware they're heavier and more likely to get damaged by potholes, etc. It's important to understand what your goals are.Trying to thread through this to find an answer, but any word on 20x9" options?

that's pretty stretchy, I'd go 245 minimum... 255 would be square, 265 fits albeit larger, but within recommended rangeWhat tires is everyone looking at for the 19x9s? Thinking 235/40/19..
Sasha Anis ran 10s up front: The Future – Tesla Model 3Running 9.5s up front going to cause any issues?
