Tesla rims
Tesla Rims - Overview
Efficiency, aerodynamics and design at the highest level
Tesla stands for a new era of electromobility. Models such as the Model 3, Model Y, Model S and Model X combine innovative technology, a long range and modern design. An essential component for driving dynamics, energy efficiency and the striking look are the matching Rims. Whether as standard or as accessories - the Rim plays a central role in Tesla vehicles, as it not only influences the overall package visually, but also aerodynamically and functionally.
Original Tesla Rims
Tesla offers different original rims for each model, which are precisely matched to the vehicle concept. The Rims are aerodynamically optimised to reduce drag and thus increase the range. The well-known Aero Rims on the Model 3 and Model Y in particular are a good example of this combination of Design and efficiency.
Aero Rims are a good example of this combination of Design and efficiency.
Original Tesla Rims are available in various designs:
-
Silver or painted grey for a classic, neutral look
-
Matt or glossy black for sporty variants such as performance models
-
Bi-colour designs with glossy elements for more dynamics
-
Turbine designs for Model S and Model X for a futuristic look and better airflow
Some Rims, such as the Performance Rims, are specially designed for larger braking systems and sportier Tyres, while the Aero wheels on the Model 3 or Model Y are equipped with wheel covers to enable a longer range.
Alloy rims from other manufacturers for Tesla vehicles
For owners who want to customise their Tesla models visually or technically, high-quality Alloy rims from well-known third-party suppliers are available. These offer more choice in terms of colour, Design and Rim width. The best-known manufacturers include:
-
OZ Racing - sporty, lightweight Rims for performance-orientated drivers
-
Borbet - durable and stylish Rims for everyday and long-distance driving
-
Ronal - classic, modern designs with high manufacturing quality
-
AEZ & DOTZ - eye-catching Rims for individual looks and accents
These Rims are usually available in variants such as matt, high-sheen, polished or multi-coloured painted. Compatibility with tyre pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) and a Height Load index are always important when making a selection, as Tesla models are comparatively heavy due to their battery units.
Common inch sizes and offsets of Tesla Rims
The Inch sizes and offsets (ET) vary depending on the model and the desired look:
-
18 inch to 19 inch Rims: for Tesla Model 3 Standard Range and Long Range
-
19 inch to 20 inch Rims: for Model Y Long Range and Performance
-
19 inch to 21 inch Rims: for Model S
-
20 inch to 22 inch Rims: for Model X
Offsets typically range between ET 35 and ET 45, depending on the model and Rim. Performance models sometimes have wider Rims and lower offset values for a more striking look and better road holding.
Design variants of the Tesla Rims
Tesla Rims and matching Accessories offer numerous design options:
-
Aero Rims: closed design for maximum range
-
Double-spoke Rims: sporty and modern, especially on performance models
-
Turbine wheels: powerful and futuristic, especially on Model S and X
-
Y-spoke Rims: light and elegant, ideal for a sporty, elegant look
-
Multi-spoke Rims: technical and balanced, suitable for long-distance comfort
Whether sporty, aerodynamic or elegant - with the right Rim, every Tesla model can be customised without losing sight of efficiency or safety.
