I did remove the center caps before I installed the wheels. It's the same as the geminis, in place with the metal circular piece. I'm assuming with enough suction it is possible.
I ended up just using a sticker however.

I have a set of these I used last winter for my 2020 Model 3 Performance, 19x8.5+40, wrapped in Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4 235/40r19.
Would these be compatible/safe to usewith my new 2021 Model Y Performance during winter?

Looks great, gonna order the same, 45 offset as well ? Where did you buy your lug nut covers and Tesla centrecap? Thanks
40 offset. Here is what I ordered from 1010tires. Center caps from Amazon. I removed the silver ring from the center caps before installing as I thought they were too tight to try and then I could not removed them without taking wheels off the car.

I'm looking at the R241's (or maybe the FC04's) from aftermarketev. They should be good with weight loads, aerodynamics, etc. on a MYP? I'm swapping out the stock uberturbines, do I need to buy anything with the wheels? Thanks for any help, this is my first Tesla/EV and I'm not really a car person, never really bought aftermarket stuff for any of my other cars.
You need to move the tire pressure monitor system (TPMS) sensors from the Uberturbine wheels to the new wheels or purchase a new set of TPMS sensors for the new wheels from Tesla. (Tires cannot be mounted onto the wheels without the TPMS sensors installed.)

You do not need to do anything if someone installs it for you.
They swap out your current TPMS and that's about it. Easy fix.
Hey MrTemple, just now getting around to making the 8.5 vs 9.5 decision myself. Were you saying there will be less stickout with the grit sprayed due to the 40 & 45 offsets... or perhaps another reason?

I was mistaken about the offset. The 8.5” actually stick out 0.2” further than the stock wheels (not sure how the 9.5” R241 compare). But for me that’s nothing because without mudflaps all the tires stick out quite a bit where the door panel curves under. With mudflaps it doesn’t matter.
Hi All. First time posting. I'm about to order Replika R241s for my 2022 Model Y LR but I'm confused about the offset. The stock offset is 45 mm but R241 sellers have 40 mm and 45 mm options. People have also mentioned in this thread that "most opt for 40." I'm leaning towards 45 mm since it's the stock configuration.
Does it make a material difference if we go with 40 mm vs 45 mm offset?
For reference it looks like:
Partsengine sells 45mm offset Replika R241s
Canadawheels, pmctire and aftermarketEV all sell 40 mm offset Replika R241s

Can you post the full specs (in the wheel part code) for each version? I didn’t think they sold identical tires with different offsets, so it may be something else that’s different too.

Hi All,
Bumping an old thread here. I’m looking to get a set of wheels to mount my OEM 19” tires on from my Model Y for Sprint-Fall use. I’m using the Gemini wheels with winter tires at the moment.
I’m leaning towards the Replika R241s right now as the best bang/buck wheel. I was set on getting the OE spec which should be P/N: R241-1995-65BT+45C641
^ That is the 19x9.5“ +45 offset and 64.1 center bore
But would I gain any real benefit from going with the R241-1985-65BT+40C641 model instead? This is the 19x8.5, +40 offset and 64.1 center bore.
Ideally I’d go for the more narrow wheel for my winter setup but since I’m using the OEM Gemini wheels for that it’s moot. Just looking for some reassurance on my decision. Thanks.

I went with 19x8.5 and prefer it over OEM. Wheel is slightly more flush so when if it ever touches the curb, you get some rubber as a guard.
I did a video on it which shows the wheels in detail so check that out if you're interested. Overall, been over a year with zero issues. Just make sure the offset and center bore is correct as I forgot what mine were. I too used OEM wheels and tpms

Thanks. Yeah I saw your reply but didn’t watch your video. I’ll try to check it out in a bit. I believe all Tesla’s have 64.1 center bore. It’s imporant to verify that because when I went to the partsengine.ca site to look at pricing and entered in my Model Y details, it loaded up a 66.1 center bore sku for me by default. I had to go look at alternate sizes to find the 64.1 sku.
