Tesla Model 3 and Model Y are high-tech marvels, with the Model Y now the best-selling car in the world. But… for all their innovation, these cars are everywhere, making it hard to stand out in a sea of identical vehicles. The stock wheels? Plain, but far from inspiring. And they’re not exactly lightweight, which impacts efficiency and performance. To address these issues, we created the AW17, our latest design that brings style, efficiency, and performance together. Inspired by the standard wheels of the 2024 Tesla Model 3 Performance, but without the plastic aero cover, the AW17 offers a clean, sleek look that highlights the raw beauty of the alloy. It’s perfect for those who want a simple yet distinct design that stands out without being too bold.
The AW17 is available in two options: 18×8.5” +35 (weighing 20.5 lbs) and 19×9.5” +35, providing an excellent balance of comfort and performance. These sizes are especially popular for those looking to downsize their wheels from the standard 21-inch Tesla Model Y Performance or 20-inch Tesla Model 3 Performance wheels, including the 2024 Highland version. With the AW17, you’ll enjoy a smoother, more efficient ride without compromising on style or handling. Even on Performance models—known for their larger brakes—these wheels fit perfectly, with no rubbing or clearance issues. just as shown in the images below. (The photo shows that our wheels are compatible with all Performance models, even though the design is not the same)

Insights:
Meet the AW17, our best-selling forged wheel for the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y. But what does “forged” mean?
Think of forged wheel technology as the art of transforming a single piece of top-grade aluminum alloy—specifically 6061-t6 aluminum—into a wheel that’s both incredibly strong and impressively light. We start with a forged billet—a solid piece of this high-quality metal that has already been forged to enhance its strength and structural integrity. This process changes the metal at its core, making it tougher than traditional cast wheels. Using precise CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining, we sculpt this forged billet into the final wheel design with meticulous detail. This process allows us to achieve the intricate styling and exact specifications that make our wheels a perfect fit for your Tesla.
In plain English, forged wheels are like the superheroes of the wheel world. They’re stronger and lighter, which means they can boost your vehicle’s performance. You’ll feel better acceleration, smoother braking, and sharper handling because the wheels reduce the weight your suspension has to deal with. Plus, they’re built to last, standing up to the bumps and potholes you encounter on the road. So not only do they look great, but they also give you confidence in your ride’s durability and efficiency.
We use Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to ensure the AW17 wheel is as tough as it looks. Think of FEA as a virtual stress test: we simulate real-world scenarios like hitting potholes or carrying heavy loads on the computer. This helps us spot and fix any potential weak spots before the wheel is made. The result? A wheel that’s not just stylish but also built to handle whatever the road throws at you. So you can drive with confidence, knowing your wheels are designed for strength and reliability.
All our Atomic Wheels forged wheels, including the AW17, feature a knurled bead seat. This is a specially textured surface where the tire meets the wheel, designed to prevent tire slippage under hard braking and acceleration. Whether you’re making quick stops or rapid launches, the knurled bead ensures your tires stay firmly in place, providing you with added safety and confidence on every drive.
Additionally, we offer a lightweight hub design featuring strategically placed cutouts to reduce weight without compromising the strength or integrity of the wheel. These precise indentations minimize material while still providing a secure and reliable connection to the vehicle’s hub, further enhancing the overall efficiency of our already light wheels.
Our AW17 wheels are fully compatible with Tesla’s original lug nuts and TPMS sensors, making installation straightforward. Due to the design of our wheels, the lug nut holes are slightly narrower than those on the OEM wheels. We recommend using a thin-wall socket to install the OEM lug nuts. This ensures a proper fit and helps prevent any scratches to the wheel’s finish. With this simple step, you can easily use your existing hardware and enjoy a perfect fit with your new wheels.
For a closer look at the AW17 in action, check out our collaboration video with popular YouTuber Gjeebs. You can find the full review on YouTube, where Gjeebs showcases the wheel’s performance and design in real-world conditions.
