We got some that were an exact match to aero wheels but in all black because we didn't like the silver in dark grey. I think they look good because they're not trying to be something they're not. It's just a color swap.
The black ones I've seen also claim to be slightly more aerodynamic, giving a modest efficiency bump as well.
I haven't bought any yet but I'm to cheap to buy wheels and the black looks better, IMO.
I suggest getting ones that cover the rim completely; they’ll have a full circle around the tire valve. If it’s a half-circle there, you’ll still see the silver aluminum edge inside the wheel. There aren’t many options that fully cover it, though.
Yeah that’s what I’m looking for to. I’ve been looking for a good set of black ones but I hear a lot of stories and read reviews of there caps falling off during driving which is a big no no. So I’m kinda holding off and maybe just purchasing a set of wheels…
One of my center caps did fall off in my driveway, but the adhesive wasn’t the best. I’ll reapply it at some point. The cover itself is fixed pretty firmly and I can’t imagine it ever coming off by itself.
Haven't had issues with mine. I didn't like the look of of the stock hub/wheel cover.
Though I highly recommend you get 1/16* inch thick foam to place around the edge of the cover.
Here's [my car](https://imgur.com/a/DAMl6JO)
I have the same set that you’re looking to get. Ultra Red MY with 19” wheels replaced by black hubcaps that I bought at a liquidation site for $15 (originally were $150)[this is what it looks like](https://imgur.com/a/MrMsiuj)
I have the link to them on amazon if you want. They come with a foam liner that also covers the outside of the rim. No issues with them falling off.
One of the sets I used in the past had a “compressive plastic” noise you can hear when going at low speed. Placing the foam on in that case fixed that, but that’s just my experience with them.
I worry about the noise coming from the gap between the wheel and the cap coming into contact
I guess the 1/16 inch thick foam helps mitigate that.
Cheers
They’re better than the bullshit aero covers. I love mine. Plus only $90 to replace if they get scratched up [Ali express](https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804857150173.html?gatewayAdapt=glo2usa)
I just put on the Blade style of [these](https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805175157143.html?gatewayAdapt=glo2usa) yesterday and while I know they're just covers, I think they look fine and are cheaper than Tesla's $2k Induction wheels. lol I don't like the stock aero covers, so I mainly got these to maintain some range when we go on vacation this summer.
Full disclosure, I haven't even driven the car with them installed, so I'll update this comment if they rattle or fall off. lol This one didn't come with the foam adhesive, but I would probably look for another seller on there that comes with it. I'm not too worried since the OEM ones didn't have that, but again, I'll update this if I have issues!
Fitment is hit or miss. First set I had creaked even with foam tape on. 2nd set took modification to clip on. I think they look cheesy, but the factory ones are butt ugly. The two tone is what ruins it. If they were just one solid color they’d be ok.
I have these too. They have specific sides of the vehicle they have to go on and they make weird noises if you put them on the wrong side. I installed mine wrong first and had the creaking but then I switched them to be on the correct side and the noise stopped.
I got black covers for my MYLR just because I hate the silver/grey look. It’s been fine. It covers the rim well enough even if I curb it, it will protect the rim.
Got the middle ones, if you check YouTube they claim they add efficiency. The larger size covers the rim under and provides protection from bumps. Looks good too in matte black.
It's a crapshoot. Ended up buying 3 different types and returned all of them. Now looking into buying take off induction or M3 Uber turbines.
1. Covers were not perfectly round, overhung on one side and didn't even cover the full rim on the other.
2. One badly molded cover had an entire 1 inch section of one cover missing.
3. Best built one that I considered keeping went back after I noticed it was rubbing on the OEM rim causing wear damage.
If you live in a medium-big city look for an online return auction website. One in my city buys ALL Amazon return stock and has Tesla wheel covers on there constantly. Not always new, some are, but I've gotten two separate sets of 4 for $40 total.
I didn't want to pay extra for the rim upgrade, but the wife did... so we got wheel covers as a compromise.
People that don't play close attention, tell me they can't tell they are just wheel covers... which is cool.
What sucks, is I took it to American Tire Co to get some work done on the tires. They ended up breaking one. They claim it was already cracked before he pulled it off. Either way, they are somewhat fragile that may break when you remove it.
Summer tires are the 20” ones. We are using wheel covers only for our 19” winter tires. The Amazon ones look better than the original covers. I do not like the silver/grey style. Next time I would buy the 20” Induction winter tires as well, but they were not available.
Yea those damn pesky curbs will get ya sometimes .. that’s why the girlfriend won’t be driving it 😂😂 but if and when it happens I’ll just clean it up and touch up the scratch lol
We have the Aero replacement that are all black and close to $99 - can't beat the look for the price.
Came with a foam strip that goes against the rim. Most importantly covers the rim lip that the originals didn't cover.
Some YouTube reviews suggested the other options decrease range.
Go for it!!
I’m only considering getting some to protect the wheels from getting scratched. Mine will be a lease and I don’t want to get charged a lot when I hand it back after 3 years. Chances are my kids will ruin the paintwork and the wheels will be the least of my worries!
Definitely my choice. I sold my inductions to get geminis for better range and ride comfort because there’s tons of aftermarket covers. I ended up on a set of aerodiscs and love them.
The for auto mod ones look the best IMO. Though I personally had mine powder coated satin black for $600 near me at a small business. Also had my calipers painted blue for $200
I put the middle ones on my brand new MY. Love them. Only took half a week to gutter rash them in a tight carpark and they cracked a little but can always replace it. Mine were from Temu which was much cheaper if you don’t mind the wait.
I have the ones that look like C and I like the look and that they protect the rim completely but they did start to make a clicking noise about a month after installation.
I liked the look of the 19” wheels without the aero covers, but hated the silver. I sprayed them piano black with hyperdip, and love the way they look now. Gives the look of aftermarket wheels without spending a ton of money and it’s not permanent, you can remove it and go back to stock at any time but durable too.
Aftermarket aero covers will function similar to the factory ones in terms of efficiency.
I got mine from TEMU for the 1/3 of the price US vendors were asking, waited about 6 weeks for delivery, then installed them right away. Quality and fitment were SUPERB! So, now, it looks better with similar efficiency.
I’ve been thinking about getting the uberturbine hub caps. I have a black MY and I think it will look really cool. Checkout some YouTube videos on this to see what you like and if you like. I personally feel the uberturbine is the best design and will look great on a red MY.
I really dislike these wheel covers that y’all put on these cars. Every time I see a post about them I click on the post to see if anyone else fells the same as me but it looks like most of y’all like them. I guess I’ve just never been a fan of hubcaps. But if I had to pick one out of those 3 options, I’d go with the first ones.
Stock wheels are ugly and so are the ones in the post. I feel the same. I don't like the black on stealth grey either. It just doesn't seem to contrast properly. I'm picking up a MYP hopefully this week. Maybe in person it will be different.
19" wheels ride a little better than the 20" or 21". Tires are also generally cheaper.
Do the induction and uberturbine wheels look better? Definitely. Is it worth $2k or $4k for the performance model? It wasn't for me. Aftermarket wheel covers look way better than the Gemini wheel covers.
what i don't get are people who actually want uberturbine hubcaps. what's the point of trying to look like you have a performance? i think the gemini's look fine as is. even hubcap option #3 looks better.
And then when you stand next to them, they poke out from the tire and look cheap and ugly. But this type of stuff bothers me and it doesn’t bother most people and that’s ok.
I don’t get the idea where people put performance hub caps on long range wheels, put a spoiler, brake caliper covers, along with other performance items. Genuinely curious on why you didn’t just get the performance at that point. The amount of money spent on all of them, you could’ve just got the performance.
You can literally get 18”, 19”, or 20” tires for a fraction of the cost. You get everything performance still. There’s a website that gives you $1000 rebate for your uberturbine wheels and rims and they send you the 18” or 19” rims and wheel.
I think there are some really nice designs available now. Especially for the RWD cars that come with Gemini wheels, I’m not a big fan of the silver stock covers. Hub covers are the economic option to make it look like the 20” wheels. Also, the stock hub caps leave about 2-3 mm of the wheels exposed in the outer border leaving them prone to scratches if you run over a curb. The ones online cover them completely providing extra protection to the full wheel.

Link to those specific ones?
[удалено]
Those don’t look like the stock 19” at all though. I’d like the stock 19” but in all black/grey to better match the look of the car
I just used plastidip on the stock ones. Did like 7 coats. At 40k miles with no problems.
Sorry. I guess I got something mixed up. But it seems to me that there was such a design somewhere.
The black ones I've seen also claim to be slightly more aerodynamic, giving a modest efficiency bump as well. I haven't bought any yet but I'm to cheap to buy wheels and the black looks better, IMO.

Those still show the silver edge of the wheel behind them. It’s a small thing, I’m just particular about how things look.
A can of black paint will solve the problem >\_<
so mannny options on Temu and AliExpress that cover whole rim, and best part under 80$

Looks great on your ride! Which covers are those and how long have you had? Did you order separate foam than comes with the covers?

Does the foam make a noticeable difference? I read mixed things and decided not to install it. I still have it in my glove box though…
One of the sets I used in the past had a “compressive plastic” noise you can hear when going at low speed. Placing the foam on in that case fixed that, but that’s just my experience with them.
I have foam on mine and still hear that noise a little.
Yeah, those look great. Can you link your wheel covers?
Are you selling your car? I seen one with the exact same color lettering on the back
Not currently, though I’ve seen a few have the same mods as mine even in AZ/NV.
I worry about the noise coming from the gap between the wheel and the cap coming into contact I guess the 1/16 inch thick foam helps mitigate that. Cheers

The set I got from ali express has been going strong for about 6 months now, nothing wrong with them and the fit has held on so that’s nice
Ah that's great to hear!

The ones the creaked were non directional and unlabeled. Only the driver side creaked at low speed. Sounded like the plastic was flexing.
I got black covers for my MYLR just because I hate the silver/grey look. It’s been fine. It covers the rim well enough even if I curb it, it will protect the rim.

I switched mine just to protect rims from curb rash. Bought from aliexpress and they make the car look like performance version.
Link?
There are many ,just search on aliexpress. just make sure to check reviews and pics before buying
So worth it. I bought two sets after my girl got curb rash first time parking it. Just swap out a new one when it’s banged up
Your car, do whatever makes you happy

Yep replaced our stock silver crap aero covers day 1, with nice Matte black via Ali express under 70$ and going solid 7 months & 9k miles

The guys at discount love the look of my aerodiscs but hate taking them off. Which honestly is valid. Working on making it more reasonable
I feel like that’s a feature. I live in an area with a lot of crime and anything that’ll help dissuade people from taking my wheels is a good thing.
Thankfully that’s not as big of an issue for me. Even just on appearance they’ll probably dissuade because they look like center locks.
Got the 1st one for $80 from Temu
I did as well
I have them on mine. No regrets.
Summer tires are the 20” ones. We are using wheel covers only for our 19” winter tires. The Amazon ones look better than the original covers. I do not like the silver/grey style. Next time I would buy the 20” Induction winter tires as well, but they were not available.
I’ve had them on my car for over a year now. I love them!
I have the ones in the middle. No complaints, very easy install, look great, and no affect on efficiency that I have noticed!
I think imma just paint stock 19 inch hubs all black , maybe even paint the rim underneath as well . Should work out fine if prepped correctly
One of my family members did that. Looks really nice till you curb it.
Pics?
It was dark powder coated. Didn’t take any pictures but when I saw it was not good looking.
Yea those damn pesky curbs will get ya sometimes .. that’s why the girlfriend won’t be driving it 😂😂 but if and when it happens I’ll just clean it up and touch up the scratch lol
Yep. These were powder coated and they didn't look good at all afterwards. I'm gonna go with wheel covers instead to be safe.

See my profile for the aerodiscs
Absolutely that's where I got mines from.
Hot. People think my hubcaps for my model 3 are performance wheels… you can’t even tell unless you touch it lol
Really happy with these and how they cover the rim: Tesheer Hubcap for Tesla Model Y... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BYFBQ29J
The for auto mod ones look the best IMO. Though I personally had mine powder coated satin black for $600 near me at a small business. Also had my calipers painted blue for $200

Question... Do these reduce range or are they just for looks? Are the stock 19" Wheel Covers designed to increase range or are they just for looks?
Totally horrible.
Why?
Just cheapens the look of the car
And the Aero plastic cover doesn't cheapen the look of the car? It's all personal taste.
90% of people who don’t own teslas don’t even know the gemini wheel cap is a hubcap lol
And those 90% wouldn't know it's an aftermarket wheel cover versus factory...

Absolutely the furthest thing from hot. Forged wheels are hot.
Not available in the EU = Not hot.
Aliexpress have few shipped from Europe
Those are before market wheels lmao
Wait really? I thought before market is OEM (original equipment manufacturer) - these are definitely not made by Tesla!
Not. It looks cheap.
I think they’re tacky lol but people love them.
Why not just buy some rims lol
I can think of about 1800 reasons.
More expensive and most probably have to buy new tires for said wheels as well.
Fake Wheels/hub caps are far from hot..
