Are the old Model 3 "turbine style" wheels back?

Tesla Model 3 is an electric five-seat sedan manufactured by Tesla. The model was unveiled on March 31, 2016.

The car was presented with stunning "turbine style" wheels, but never bring to the market.

When Tesla opened the doors to its Model 3 online configurator, reservation holders were only given two wheel options for the vehicle — the standard 18-inch Aero Wheels and the 19″ Sport Wheels.

Recently, Tesla Model Ywas spotted with "turbine style" wheels.

Members of the Twitter community began to actively discuss the possibility that it would be great to order "turbine style" wheels for their Model 3.

Host of RideThe Lightning: Tesla Motors Unofficial Podcast, Ryan McCaffrey suggests, that "turbine style" wheels almost certainly will. He thinks Tesla wouldn’t put these on a Y engineering prototype “just because.”

They almost certainly will. Tesla wouldn’t put these on a Y engineering prototype “just because.” They’re going to get made, IMO.

Many Tesla Model 3 owners would love to buy these wheels if they had the opportunity.
And we can only hope that for the Model Y there will be a possible configuration "turbine style" wheels.

At the moment, these wheels can be bought from a wholesaler of wheels EV Wheel Direct.

Ben Sullins of data-focused YouTube channel Teslanomics in 2018 featured what can only be described as the perfect complement to his black Tesla Model 3 – 20″ Turbine wheels in Metallic Grey.

“I’m not really much for modifications on a car, as you guys know, but I’m absolutely in love with these wheels.” -said Ben.
