Does This Lowered Tesla Model 3 On Bronze Wheels Sit Better With You?

While the Tesla Model 3 offers performance to rival, and oftentimes beat, its competition, the all-electric sedan has a relatively soft and sculpted design, dramatically different from some of the aggressive and sporty designs from Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi.

This one though is a little different. Tuned by Unplugged Performance, this Deep Blue Metallic Model 3 is the short-lived Mid Range model Tesla built between October 2018 and March 2019. As such, it has a 52 kWh battery, a single electric motor driving the rear wheels, and hits 60 mph (96 km/h) in 5.2 seconds.

Eager to make this Model 3 Mid Range stand out, Unplugged Performance has equipped it with a new carbon fiber front splitter and a set of lowering springs. However, the most striking modification are the wheels.

These are the ADV5.0 FLOWSpec wheels from ADV.1. They measure 19×9 at the front and 19×10 at the rear and have a polished gloss bronze finish that contrasts the blue paint scheme nicely, with the sharp and angular design of the spokes juxtaposing the curvaceous bodywork of the electric sedan.

Unplugged Performance offers a range of upgrades for the Model 3, and in late August, brought one of its modified Model 3s to the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. While the car was badly damaged during a practice session, it was repaired and managed to complete the treacherous hillclimb.
