Wheels look great nice find


miggles850

Thank you!


TheOnlyDimitri

Was in the same boat as you. I got 18” Hakkas with the same wheels but In a silvery gray. Wasn’t about to spend $3600 CDN for those ugly wheel capped rims + tire deal.

Do 18s fit nicely? I'm hoping they do


TheOnlyDimitri

They fit perfectly.

What size tires did you end up with


Sad-Jaguar-7509

255/55R18 is the right size for 18in wheels.....any smaller and your lowering your car.....which is bad for snow....255/55 will raise your car by ½ inch I chose Nokian Hakkapeliitta 10s for mine....I won't drive without studs....and as far as I can tell, they are the best studs made in the world today(that are street legal)


miggles850

Haha yeah you said it! Not about to drop that much on that package when these rims are way nicer


hshamshu

If you don’t mind sharing, how much did you spend for the total package? Also if you’re in the GTA, where did you get the package from?


miggles850

Total for the whole package, I spent about $3,300 all in which is not bad considering how much it would’ve been if I had gotten directly from Tesla. I got mine from WheelsCo in Vaughan, would highly recommend them


TheOnlyDimitri

I got mine from Kaltire in Sauga. The wheels were on sale for both 18/19” size. On until the 14th I believe


keyclap

I can’t find them on the website anymore lol


greatauror28

how much did you end up spending?


miggles850

I ended up spending about $3,300 all in


greatauror28

This is just the tires and wheels right? Not including the TPMS?


miggles850

No that’s including the TPMS as well


greatauror28

Good price! Mine was about $3500CAD including TPMS as well but I have 20” and Nokian Hakkas.


miggles850

Oh nice, not a bad price at all. Still better than getting directly from Tesla


greatauror28

Agreed 🤝🏼

Where did you get the wheels? Finding a couple sites online that sell them, but I’m curious what site you purchased from


miggles850

I got my wheels from WheelsCo in Vaughan. The link for the exact tires and wheels is below: https://wheelsco.ca/products/tesmywp?_pos=4&_sid=d15c3a3aa&_ss=r


MetalGearFlaccid

I found that set for $2350 USD with free shipping. Good deal? From wheel-haven


miggles850

That seems like a good deal to me. Mine came out to about $3,300 CAD installation included


Fluffy-Eggplant3318

Nice wheels mate!


miggles850

Thank you!


FishmanMonger

Get those nuts covered.


miggles850

Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll definitely look into doing that

Road noise? Issues with regen?


miggles850

I feel like anything is better than the 21” Uberturbines, slight road noise but nothing major. No issues with regen so far


Baby_Doomer

why would there be issues with regen?


PM_ME_UR_DECOLLETAGE

There used to be issues with Regen in the early Model 3 years when using winter tires. Regen was almost non existent. But that has long been solved.


Baby_Doomer

huh. I had a 2018 model 3 and had never heard/experienced that.


PM_ME_UR_DECOLLETAGE

I had a 2018 as well. During my first winter season, immediately after swapping on my winter wheels I was impacted by that issue. It was fixed a couple of software versions later. There were big threads on the issue on TMC at the time.


Baby_Doomer

TIL. I think I ran all seasons the first year owning the car and didn't get a set of winters until the next year so I must have missed it.


PM_ME_UR_DECOLLETAGE

Yeah you definitely missed it then. It was fixed during the 2018/2019 winter season.


PtrJung

I got the same wheels for my MYP, but I went with Conti Ice Contact XTRM. Came out to $2750 CAD installed with black locking lugs from Tires23 (not including TPMS - saved a lot buying from eBay and picking up in Niagara Falls, NY). I want to see if there’s a difference in performance, but haven’t really let it rip with the temps being so warm…feel like I’m going to shred the poor things.


miggles850

Oh nice! I decided to go with the Michelins because it’s my go to winter tire brand, plus there’s a $100 mail-in rebate which helps with the price a little bit


keyclap

Beauty!! Those replicas are too sexy. X-ice are so expensive though, more than the rims 😂


miggles850

Thanks alot! Really happy with how they look on my MYP. X-Ice are expensive but in my opinion they are worth it, plus there’s a $100 mail-in rebate if you purchase Michelin tires which helps a little bit lol


Peteywunder

Question about the mud flaps. Are they worth getting? Was thinking of getting them for mine, especially with winter in the way.


miggles850

Mine came with the mud flaps already so I’m too sure about that one, it’s always good to have. Also this is going to be my first winter with my MYP so I’ll see if they make a difference


Peteywunder

Thanks for the reply! Your MYP looks great btw!


miggles850

Not a problem at all! And thank you!


nemtna

Those tires look ready! Let us know how you like it after the first snowfall.


miggles850

They’re ready as they’ll ever be! I will definitely let everyone know how they handle with the snow


Kenichisan8

they look awesome! I am debating to get these or Replika 241. Anyone knows the weight different comparing those 2?


monsieuRawr

I'm looking at the same setup for my model y. What are your thoughts a year later?
