The new Tesla Model 3 from 2024, also known as "Highland", has many improvements and even with all of Tesla's improvements, there are companies that offer even MORE improvements, such as 20-inch forged wheels from a Tesla add-on company, Unplugged Performance.

In this case, we have a fiery red Tesla Model 3 with these new 20-inch forged wheels, while being lower to the ground with the dual rate lowering springs. This is the ultimate in performance for your Tesla Model 3.

These are the best looking wheels I have ever seen, and they are not even designed by Tesla. Congratulations to the team at Unplugged Performance for their work.

Spring Lowering For Improved Performance

The dual rate linear lowering spring set does this, according to Unplugged Performance:

An unparalleled dedication to research and advanced engineering has created the ultimate in Tesla Model 3 spring technology. Every version of every spring we produce is specifically engineered for two distinct linear spring rates. This allows enhanced comfort (spring rate #1) paired with increased handling (spring rate #2).

One size does not fit all, we’ve engineered specific spring rates to more perfectly enhance the handling of each Model 3 variant. Enjoy the immediate benefits of improved comfort and handling, combined with a sporty ride height that reduces drag and increases range. They cost around $420 :).

One of the reviews of these affordable springs had this to say:

Drove on these for 60,000 miles and they were perfect. Never heard any noise from these and it’s such a great and affordable way to increase the performance of your car easily and without a huge financial commitment. Super impressed with what these could do. Highly recommend.

Note: I am not paid by or an affiliate of Unplugged Tesla/Unplugged Performance. I just think they make cool products.

Three Tesla Model 3 vehicles were seen in a video by Unplugged Performance, with wheel sizes ranging from 18 to 22 inches. The prices of these wheels starts at $3,595. They are not a customization that comes cheap!

However, for those looking to significantly upgrade the look and performance of their Tesla vehicle, these wheels may just be the perfect upgrade you have been looking for.

I have a 2022 Model 3 RWD - I have not added these wheels personally to my car at this time - however, were I to get a newer Tesla in the future, this would be something I would look into.

What do you think of these new Tesla Model 3 wheels? What about the springs to lower the vehicle?
