I recently purchased four tires for my 2018 Tesla Model 3 Performance, and I just thought I would take a minute, to sit down, and text you my thoughts, about the whole buying experience. Let me first say, I NEVER do this! I can't remember ever writing a recommendation for any vendor, ever... Keep in mind when you are reading this, that for me, the whole thing had to be done through texting, since I lived in another state.
From literally the first, initial text I sent to you Ryan, the interaction between me and you was incredible. I'd go further and say, my experience was rare, in the aftermarket realm of the automotive industry.
What I experienced was someone who was incredibly knowledgeable, when it came to the whole area of tires and rims in general, and to my absolute surprise, was also equally knowledgeable about Tesla's, in particular!
I had some very specific (custom) requests, and wasn't sure there was any company, that could meet my design specifications. But the combination of it being so easy to have Ryan understand what I was trying to do, along with the incredible engineering & manufacturing capabilities, you guys were able to knock my job outta the park!
I was asking for a very specific offset to be built into all four rims, a custom tire size for my application, in a high performance tire composition, but with a warranty that was top notch too, all at a value that was second to none!
Most of the other companies I had shopped with, had told me flat out; "Sir, I'm sorry, you can't do that!" But from the beginning Ryan, you took it as a challenge to help me pull these design profiles off, and to my shock, you did it!
It was hands down, THE best tire and rim purchasing experience I've ever had!
I cannot recommend Traverse Ridge Racing, for all your tire needs, strongly enough! They have been a professional, personable, cost sensitive, all out performance oriented, custom tailored, rim company, that absolutely knows it's stuff!! They will go all out, to help you figure out what you wanna do, and for the price you wanna do it at too...

"Hi Ryan, I wanted to let you know the wheels look awesome. They are a perfect match. I've driven for a week now for 12 miles each way and same route every day. It's quieter on the road than the original wheels and tires. I like the fact that the Goodyear tire is wider (245 instead of 235) and covers the wheels completely. I haven't noticed a change in the KW usage. It seems the same as the OEM wheels. As for horsepower, I couldn't tell any difference. 0-60 might be 0.1 second slower...Again, great wheels and tires. Will show my friends the new wheels and your website. You're the best! Thanks again for the awesome customer service."

"I have driven about 35 miles or so. Overall everything is good. They handle well and look great."
UPDATE "By far the best set of rims I have purchased. The handling is superb and the aggressive look of the rims is what I have been looking for. The customer service Ryan provided was truly fantastic. If I had any questions at all, he would respond within minutes to ensure my questions were answered. Highly recommend. Thanks again Ryan."

"Exactly what I was looking for - a classy, stylish wheel that compliments an already amazing car. I upgraded from the original aero wheels and after a few months of driving I can honestly say the car handles better and brakes faster. I have not noticed any difference in range or noise, and I was expecting the larger wheel to be a rougher ride, but I have been pleasantly surprised. I am referring my friends from the Utah Tesla Club. I couldn't be happier!"

"Ryan is great, I love these guys, they helped me every step of the way, updates to shipping, telling me what tires they recommend, explaining everything about the product. I would definitely buy from them again. Wheels were perfectly packed for shipping, all items were as described. It actually feels like a new car again. The Continental tires ride smooth and I hardly hear them. The rims really pop with black wrap on the chrome and my tint. Thanks again for all your help."

"Fantastic experience with Ryan and team at Traverse Ridge Racing. Since mounting my new wheels and tires I've noticed a significantly quieter and more comfortable ride. Utah roads are the worst and after two cracked factory wheels from potholes I decided to give Traverse a try. I couldn't be happier. The slightly taller sidewalls make potholes less of a threat. As for looks, the gloss black wheels with the red logo center caps really pop and make my Tesla stand out from the crowd."
