found a cheap one looks same I just ordered these.

Got the wheel caps installed today. Here’s what they look like. Has a slight poke and protrudes out further than the tires. Makes it seem like there’s more of an aggressive offset which I like. Overall I think it looks great.

 

[Pianewman]

total cost? Which vendor?

 

[bigboi]

total cost? Which vendor?

$150 including shipping. Covers itself was $60 and shipping was $90 LOL. But still cheaper than other ones I found. Took just under 25 days to arrive from shipment date. Here’s the link to the one I bought

let me know if you feel any difference in performance or ride.

@Pianewman

If a wheel cap is designed to be more aerodynamic than the standard cap, it can reduce drag and improve airflow around the wheel. This can result in a small improvement in fuel efficiency, acceleration, and top speed, especially at higher speeds.

However, certain aftermarket wheel caps may be designed to be lighter or more aerodynamic than the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) wheel caps. In some cases, these specialized wheel caps may reduce weight or wind resistance, which could potentially improve the car's performance to a small extent, such as increased fuel efficiency or slightly better handling.

It's worth noting that any gains in performance from specialized wheel caps would likely be small and may not be noticeable in everyday driving. Other modifications, such as upgrading the tires or suspension, would have a more significant impact on a car's performance.

Tesla's Aero wheels already increases 3-5% of efficiency of the car which has been tested by car and driver and a lot of youtubers.

:')

 

[Pianewman]

Agreed. That was my point...except for "ride". The weight difference in these wheel covers compared to Gemini aero covers would be nil.

...just yanking your chain...

I really wanted white but wife said no lol. It’s her car so I can’t argue too much. Her agreeing to get these covers at all was a huge win. Feels no different at all driving. I’m curious about range. Will report back after a few days. My wife has the same commute everyday so we should be able to see if there are any affects

 

[Hotshot5959]

@bigboi ironically I wanted black and my wife wanted white so we got white lol

Hahaha!!! Love it!!!! You’re about to get a whole bunch of looks coming your way. The few days it’s been on I notice people staring at it BIG TIME. I didn’t think people would notice since I have black ones but they sure still do stand out

I need to see what the black ones look like on a red car.
