Need Your Pics-Multicoat Red-TSportline Turbines

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
Hi all. Was hoping to get some help. I am waiting on my red AWD with aero wheels that I am promptly going to sell. I am very likely going to replace them with 18" TSportline turbines. I plan on doing a matte black chrome delete to make every piece of chrome on the car disappear.

Here's my dilemma. I am having a hard time deciding between gloss black, matte black or space gray wheels. So if anyone has a red 3 on which they have put one of these three colors I would greatly appreciate it if you would post a high quality pic of your car, so I can get real world idea of what each wheel will look like.

Thanks in advance.
 
Thanks. Yeah, unfortunately they don't have any pics of the matte black. That's okay. I went ahead and pulled the trigger on Saturday.

Sorry, hard to keep up on all the messages around here. I'm probably going to get the brilliant silver for a similar look to the stock 19 and 20s.

I'm planning on putting snow tires like Blizzak WS80s (if they make this size) or X-Ices on the stock 18s and then put Pilot Sport A/S 3+ on these new wheels. I'd like to go with the Pilot Sport 4s but with the 40 deg F min operating temperature, it would limit use in late fall and early spring when temps fall below freezing at night. I like to minimize the miles I put on the winter tires due to the increased road noise and softer handling.

Did you opt for the TPMS for +$300 from TSportline? Any idea what Telsa charges for them? Or if they are a common part we can get anywhere?

No worries. I appreciate the help.

I didn’t buy any TPMS, because I plan on using the tires and TPMS that came with the stock wheels. I don’t plan on running winter tires. I never have in 22 years of living in CO, and I’m not about to start storing them and dealing with it now. :)

Tire Rack has TPMS that work on the Model 3 for $260, FYI.

I know, its my model S and not a model 3, but I did gloss powder coated wheels and gloss black chrome delete. Sorry its not a 3.
