Mind. Blown. That is what is under those fugly caps?! VERY glad you posted this, because I was going to opt for the larger wheels simply because the standard look so lame.

I think the older Model 3s were louder than the newer ones. It does depend on the road a lot. I put on everything on this page except the wind noise kit. The car is pretty quiet. Part of the reason you hear road noise and wind noise is there's no driveline noise to mask it.
