Does Tesla have any OEM center caps that are black? Or more closely match the Martian satin black wheels?

they changed the weights on the website. apparently the original weight was an estimate.Did you get the 19x9.5" size? Mine are weighing in at 23 lbs. Site says 19.5 lbs. I"m confused and disappointed. Would you mind sharing the weight on yours so I can compare if mine are an one off occurrence.

I just put these on my PUP yesterday with Michelin AS4s. First impressions. The ride is noticeably softer: you still feel the bumps but through a novocaine haze. It is significantly lighter on its feet. Now drives more like the M3.
It's been about a week with the new wheels and there has been a slight decrease in the wh/m, maybe the numbers will improve a bit more once the tires are broken in, but that is from the uberturbines. so i bet you'll take a hit. I will say, however, that the overall improvements in ride, sound, and feel have been astonishing.2nd that question.
With these lighter weight martian wheels, are your wh/mile better or worse (compared to the 19" aero covers)?

Nice. Did you get your custom trimmed Xpel locally or online? I've got the same wheels and tires in 20" - I'm very happy too.I just changed out the Ubers with MW-03's in 19x9.5 +45 to maintain the vehicle width/stance but stuck with 245/45/19's for the range boost. I normally would have gone 255 but the appearance is fine IMO, a little more flat-sided. Because it's my winter set I'm taking a spin with Vredestein Quatrac Pros due to being both a high-performance GT tire and having a severe snow service rating. So far they're quieter than the P-Zeros, the ride is not as edgy on imperfections in the pavement, and the car feels more nimble overall with turn-in and cornering in general, especially at slower speeds around town. Only 100 miles on the Vreds but so far, so good. Oh, and they came with two years of hazard coverage which is a nice bonus. Just after this shot, I put some custom trimmed clear Xpel on the bottom rear of the back doors to cover the whole area where it flares out. Man, that area gets chewed up!

does tesla have some weird "tesla only" wheels and tires that can work on the model Y
Well done! I'm pretty handy but that looks more like art. I'd be happy to contribute to getting this somehow....Drifting off-topic, but here’s an image of the installed guard. I just traced the outline of the dirt pattern on the rear door after a drive on dirty wet roads and made sure to cover the predominate “strike zone” (where the paint was actually showing signs of getting abraded). Since I already have a template I’d consider ordering/cutting more if there’s enough interest.View attachment 612857
