EV Wraps Vinyl vs. Rimetrix Laminars

[Mod Y Guy]

Currently, I have the Gemini Wheel Covers on, wrapped with the EV Wraps Vinyl. It took like 3 or 4 hours to wrap the covers and they've held up pretty well over the last 5 or so months. I did use Plastidip on the Gemini wheels to conceal the silver ring and have everything blend together more. I'm considering the Rimetrix Laminars but I'm just not convinced I should pull the trigger. I understand it's all subjective but would like to get some opinions and see where the poll results end up. Thanks everyone!

Rimetrix Laminars

I have done the carbon fiber EV wraps. Those look great.

Wow.
I’m utterly shocked ! The vinyl wraps look good!

I was just about to purchase the rimetrix laminar, because the standard 19inch plastic trims are so ugly … But now it seems I have another option.

Many thanks for posting your photos.
Best wishes.

Having watched the EV wraps video … I’m not sure I have the patience or skill !

Definitely you have the skill. But I have to say also, it is not for every body.

But in my case, I couldnt find better place to make use of my patience, spare time and enthusiasm for Tesla while waiting for the EDD for 5 months… ^^

The other thing that's great about the Rimetrix Laminars is that they cover the entire Gemini silver alloy wheel. I don't like the look of that silver band left after wrapping the wheel covers only. I chose to PlastiDip the silver ring in black and it worked out pretty well. I will be receiving the Rimetrix Laminars this week and will have another option for wheel covers.

Could you kindly post some photos when you get them on your car ?

Just got them installed on the Grey MY. Does make the car look more aggressive over the stock hub caps. Also need to keep the tires shiny with these covers on. So far 6.5/10

Check out this other post for more pics. I'll post my own photos eventually just not sure when. I have yet to put the Laminars on my car. I want to wash the car first and that only happens every few weeks. Sad but true.

Got around to washing the car today and threw on the Laminars (with Tesla T center cap covers to finish off the look). The photos really don't do it justice, as they look way better in person, and the alloy wheel underneath isn't as noticeable. I'm liking the look, and it's definitely nice to save thousands on wheels and tires, while also keeping the increased range.

Looks great! I am currently installing the EV wraps and I think I’m throwing the away. They just aren’t lining up right and there was some confusion with the center caps I ordered too apparently because they gave me the same color logos as the wrap itself, pretty dumb. Overall I’m not happy with the EV wraps and wish I didn’t waste the money on them, I will be ordering those Rimetrix Laminars.

I've got the Rimetrix Orbitals on my Model 3 and love them, will definitely be getting the Laminars for the the Y when it arrives (eventually)

Where did you find the tesla T center cap covers?

Where did you find the tesla T center cap covers?

Amazon. Like ten bucks. I put adhesive promoter on the Rimetrix center cap before placing on the Tesla T cap covers. We'll see how they hold up over the coming months.

The EV wraps vinyl is not an easy project, but it's the cheapest option, and looks pretty good. The Laminars are expensive, for what they are, but are super easy to just pop on and take off. Also, the Laminars fully cover the alloy wheel which is crucial in attaining the right look.

Link?

Also, not sure what you mean about putting an adhesive promoter on the rimetrix center cap? Do the tesla t caps not fit tightly and need an adhesive?

The Tesla T is actually a 56mm sticker that perfectly covers the original Rimetrix center caps. From the reviews, it seems the stickers come off, in prolonged high temps. My thinking was if I used adhesive promoter they might have a better chance of staying on there. Even if the stickers do come off after six months I’ll just buy again for only ten bucks.

Ohh, stickers. Gotcha. For some reason I was thinking you found tesla center caps to replace the Rimetrix ones. My bad.

Saw the Laminars in-person last week on a white MY and a blue MY. Looked better than I had anticipated based on photos!
