Model 3 Center Cap (for 19" Sport Wheels)

[Mod Y Guy]

Need some help from all you good people! I've had my car now for just over a year and wanted to change things up just a bit. I was a few hours from changing the caliper color but got cold feet. I want to do something a little less permanent and was just curious what look people like more. I would be purchasing either decal in Midnight Silver Metallic (to match my car color). I do realize everyone's opinion is different but thought I'd ask anyway. Thanks so much, I greatly appreciate it!

Hey buddy, love the setup from the first pic. Are those center caps 'silver' or 'chrome' and where did you get them and the lug nuts?

Having a tough time finding them online. Thanks, looks awesome!

I like the current setup.

So where did you get the current setup? Is it from the Model S?

I got the center caps from a Tesla service center and they threw in the chrome caps. However, my entire setup is different now. Here’s what it’s looking like these days.

Did you lower your model 3?

Yah, I used the TSportline 1" drop. I love the stance and the ride feels good. Not much different than stock, and handles much better.

How much did that cost you? (just the lowering etc, not the cosmetic stuff)

Edit: Nevermind, I went to their website. Thanks for the info...Weird how the SR+ can only drop .75 but the LR and Performance models can do a full 1"...

Yea OP is where I got the inspiration from this thread originally...Finally got OEM ones..had Chinese ones that had black plastic
underneath and so it looked like it had a black ring around it from certain angles..OEM way thinner and nice and smooth.

Hey your lug nut covers look like they match the rim color..and not chrome. What color are those/where did you get them if you dont mind me asking?

looks good !

Where do you get the OEM center cap/what P/N? I like that look vs. the black plastic lug+hub cover.....

Bought them at the Tesla Service Center. Went to a different one than I had been going to and they were in stock. They are the Model S center cap covers in Silver.. $15 each.

Although I must say, the guy was worried that he couldn't sell them to me because everything is based on VIN and they were Model S parts. I have a Model 3 obviously so there was some concern (a bit ridiculous if you ask me, seeing as I know everyone else that got them has bought them from their SC). I gave him my VIN and it processed, so it worked in the end. But still lame they do that. Good luck!

It's the ones from tsportline (link below). Overpriced for what they are, but the color match is nice.

After M3 19" starfish hubcaps were stolen.. so easy to remove with one finger. Switched to the cap and lug nut covers.
Amazon sells gun-metal caps and nut covers: Tesla Hub Center Cap (B09MF43NRL) and Traverse Tesla Nut Caps (B07MJCGB11)

Tried one service center who refused to sell the S Aluminum caps due to not having a model S vin number.
Purchased that TSportline, which took 10 days to ship. This is the OEM Tesla S cap ($17 retail) plus their own brushed plastic silver caps.
I should have just used my friends model S vin number, in retrospect, and buy the nut caps on Amazon.

They both look good, and at least the center cap can't be removed with just fingers.
The nut caps can be removed pretty easily with fingers. I thought it would be harder as they include tweezers to pull them off.
