AliExpress Wheel Covers

[UCF713]

I picked up wheel covers from AliExpress and wanted to provide some quick pros/cons for those who were considering them.

Pros

• They look great!
• Foam strips are included to help prevent damaging your wheels.
• They secure tightly and don’t have any wobble.
• Tesla logo on each wheel.
• They were packed well for shipping with each wrapped in bubble wrap with foam and cardboard between each wheel.

Cons

• Tesla logo is white, and the seller didn’t provide any other color options. I would have preferred if the logo was black, gray or silver.
• They do not sit flush with the tires. They stick out past the tires a little which may make them more prone to curb rash.
• While they cover the silver edge of the wheel, they still show the silver wheel through the spokes.

Looks like all these caps are the same regardless of left/right wheel orientation?

I found these hubcaps on Youtube, the design seems a little different from centre cap, it looks more alike to urberturbine?

Link is dead. Did the aliexpress post have the Tesla logo on their stock pictures? All of the Wheel Cover listings that I see available do not have any Tesla logo's

Tesla logo can’t be shown cause the seller will get shut down. That’s what they told me before posting a review and photos of the car.

Have you done a test for efficiency?

They look really nice for someone wanting a performace or turbine look. The stock tire sidewall is more a reason they stick out,than the wheel cover itself. It’s nice they protect the wheel rim. nice find.

I ordered the wheel covers in early July and they finally arrived. There’s no center logo and no foam strips on the edges though. We’re yours glued on? Do you know where I can buy those strips to put on the covers myself?

I haven’t really noticed a difference. I was averaging about 15% battery usage on my daily 40+ mile commute before installing them, and now I am at around 16%, but that could just be due to weather.

The foam strips were just tossed into the box and each was a little bit too long so I had to trim them when installing them. Before I received my wheel covers I was shopping around for the strips because the listing didn’t say they were included when I ordered. The only ones I found and almost purchased were offered by Rimetrix here: Orbital Rim Protection Kit

There’s a video on efficiency tests. Looks like these covers give just slightly better range than having no covers.

interesting, thanks. i note that the TPARTS covers he tested are all for "left-side" wheels, so the ones he mounted on the right side of his car have the fat side forward as the car drives...results would probably improve with right-left pairs.

i ordered these Yikun covers on Aliexpress...they are right-left pairs. i haven't put them on yet but plan on doing so soon, and will attempt a similar test....

Mine arrived last week and they look fabulous! IMO, the wheels alone look much better than the aero covers and these covers look much better than the wheels alone. For some reason it was hard for me to judge by pictures alone. But in real life the differences are stunning.

I ordered mine and waiting for it. Seems like its gonna look good on mine too!

There is an updated style that still has the Uberturbine look without as much of an exaggerated curve. Just depends on your preference:

I ordered a set, based on this thread. Very happy with them, and they seem to fit very securely.

How long did it take to arrive? Any issues?

The separate left and right designs from at least one of the vendors warms my heart. Lots of car companies use a chiral design of some sort, but doing separate left/right seemed to end with the Japanese bubble economy (and the C4 Corvette), for cost and ease of wheel rotation. Having covers is potentially the best of both worlds- I would gladly pay for knockoff Gemini covers that ‘spin’ in the opposite direction.
