Choosing alloy rims

[gck303]

I have a Tesla Model S with factory 21 inch wheels. The wheels are rather silly as they reduce range, tyres are expensive, get kerbed and ride rough.

I want to get a set of standard 19 rims. Where to start with a choosing a brand of rims?

BBS is the obvious choice, though they are rather dear. There are lots of others of which I have heard of almost none.

Recommendations for a set that does not brreak the bank?

Will any rim that is "19x8.0J ETS 35 with a 5x120 PCS" fit?

Thanks, George

How do the wheels reduce the range? A wider than standard tyre may increase rolling resistance a bit, but not really enough to notice in normal driving. Is the larger wheel/tyre combo much heavier than the standard?

The consideration with smaller wheel/tyre combinations is keeping the same rolling circumference, to avoid changes in effective gearing.

And use this to compare different rim size, tyre profiles, and rolling circumferences.
