Aero wheel hubcaps replaced with center caps and black lug nut covers

[Heckler]

I was figuring on just buying/ordering ones from the tesla service center. Don't have my car just yet and I believe you need to have a VIN to order parts. Here is the only photo of seen with this configuration:

GregRF,

Where did you find that photo?? I'm curious what the PNs for the Metal/Chrome center cap and Lug Bolt covers (I'm presuming/hoping these are lug bolts, hard to tell on the current Model S/X if they use Metal/Chrome Bolts or Covers...

I heard that Aero Caps prevent rim rash...not that I hit curves (I drive in Irvine...no parallel parking)...but still!

Not true. There’s the outter lip of the rim that’s exposed from the aero cover

I found it on the google photo page Model ≡ Part Deux.

I didn't find any more info on it, photo has an "FB" in the name so may have come from a facebook post. Sadly haven't seen any more photos of it.

Did you lower it too?

Yep!

Andre - That is the look I am going for! how/where did get the caps and lug nut covers?

I ordered them from the Tesla shop on 3/30 for $35 and they arrived on 4/14.

Hey Jason Bourne what's all that fluffy white stuff in the foreground and background in that picture?

It is unwise to antagonize Jason Bourne. He will hunt you while you sleep.

So I wasn't crazy about the look of the press on black caps so I installed some chrome lug nuts instead. Wish the wheels were chrome so eventually I may replace them. The picture shows what I did.

What size are our 3's lug nuts? I like this look with the black cap (and my black 3).

ok thanks - they are now $50 - as I look longingly that the picture you provided (order is in - awaiting delivery) - I cannot decide if you did a chrome delete - I am thinking yes

Anyone found good quality/ name brand black lugs that are good looking and fit under the aero covers (I might use them?). I'm worried about cheap Chinese knock-offs messing with my car's lugs if the threads aren't good.

Full satin paint protection film, tint all around, and yes, chrome delete as well

Got mine from the local service center. Just call first to see if they have them in stock before making the trip

Well.... I went to the local Tesla Service Center and asked them to procure me a set of Metal Wheel Caps and Chrome Wheel Lug Caps as found in the picture for Model X Brake Calipers:
