A load rating refers to a maximum allowable weight that a given wheel has been tested and rated at. All wheels can be rated differently, for instance the wheels on a
passenger car will require a smaller load rating than the wheels on a heavier SUV. A vehicle manufacturer will give a standard GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) to each
of its vehicles. This rating is the maximum allowable weight for a fully loaded vehicle which includes passengers and extra equipment. At that point each of the wheels
is tested and rated according to the GVWR of all the vehicles they were meant to be mounted on.
The offset is a vital technical aspect of your wheel and your car. To better explain this, Ohm has put together a brief 101 video on offsets.
You can also go to our wheel technology page to learn more about offsets.
The handling can be improved by running larger wheels on your EV. Generally larger EV wheels mean that you will run a lower profile tire and usually a wider tire.
The low profile tire often performs better when cornering and braking, as tire roll is greatly reduced.
Extremely large wheels are heavier and can increase braking distances. However, Ohm will always endeavor to keep the wheels as light as possible without compromising
the strength of the wheel.
With regular care and regular road conditions, Ohm offers a one year finish warranty on its wheels with chrome and painted finishes. Ohm provides a
lifetime structural warranty for wheels it manufactures that are structurally unsound because of a manufacturing defect caused by Ohm that makes the wheel unfit
for its ordinary purpose. Damage or issues with wheels manufactured by Ohm that are not caused by, or the result of, a manufacturing defect by Ohm are
not covered under the warranty. Additionally, the following are expressly excluded from the warranty:
Ohm does not offer a "road hazard warranty," so any damage or issue with a wheel caused by the wheel colliding with a pothole or any other object or debris
will not be covered by the warranty;
Wheels that have been used in racing are not covered by the warranty regardless of the damage or structural unsoundness; and
Wheels mounted on vehicles with a load rating in excess of the load rating of the wheel are not covered by the warranty regardless of the damage or structural unsoundness.
Wheels that have been modified, repainted, or powder coated.
Ohm Wheels currently offers Tesla Model S wheels, Tesla Model X wheels, Tesla Model 3 wheels, and Tesla Model Y wheels. Of course we always recommend test fitting for
proper fitment prior to mounting of tires, especially on heavily modified vehicles. You can also use Select My Vehicle to check which wheels fit which vehicles.
