This was one of the mods I was thinking of doing later down the line. Much later, it takes a couple of months to prep the wife

It takes months to prepare, but only an hour to surprise.

It's sooo busy looking, unlike the very non-busy (some people would call it plain) looking, elegant lines (your generation of the Model 3) of the car.

Look at all the spokes..20...omg

Imagine this on a non-EV. It would be a nightmare to clean from all the brake dust.

I know, but they are lighter which would be one of the main reasons for getting them. I have time to decide, it wouldn't be this year anyway, too much going on
