my new car. It makes me happy.
The plastic hubcaps are not great, but without them, these wheels look like a car from the 70's where the hubcap fell off.
I really would love to see one of these in person. I may have some free time tomorrow to drive over to my local delivery center to see what they have going on there. I have not heard anything about aftermarket covers yet, which is not surprising since we've only had a few people here that have received their cars, and that was only in the past week.
I think the same company that makes the Model 3 aftermarket covers will likely introduce something. And I think in their analysis, their cover was just as efficient as Tesla's.
Which company is this? I would like to follow their potential progress

Darn, now I have to ask my SA. If this is true, there goes 30-40 miles of range and $4500 (unless they charge more than that because the $4500 was supposed to be the difference between the cost of the 19" (which I will have received) and the 21").
Like many others in cold climates, I chose the 19” due to (possibly over concern with) potholes. As part of my customization, I have planned to remove the caps and powder coat the wheels. Any thoughts on whether this could improve the look or am I wasting my money? I realize it’s personal preference but any insights from those with experience? Thanks.

Going from my old S to my wife's Honda Pilot, I typically turned the windshield wipers on every time before actually putting her Pilot in gear. Took some muscle memory to fix that. Sure she will appreciate me swiping my finger all over her infotainment screen trying to change gears.It's funny because while driving my mother's car the other day I went to look down at the steering wheel to hit the turn signal button (but it wasn't there)
Here’s some more 19” shots, with center wheel caps from a Tesla M3 wheel cap kit I never used. BYOB (Butter)!
I'm gonna start with a kit from DYC Wheel Kits (Gonna try the Burnt Copper), and see how I like it. If I do, maybe I'll commit to powder coat.
I would probably do just that, and leave them off until you do road trips at high speed. Looking great!
I will probably stagger my aero caps - one on in the front drivers side, one on in the rear passenger side. True hubcap life.
Ironically enough it's a 2021 X1 lmao, honestly after playing with her infotainment, I lost a lot of respect for BMW. It's running some 2018 firmware with 2018 maps and no update available from BMW.
Oddly enough I'm feeling the beefy tire look on the 19s. The rims aren't bad at all, hub caps are definitely crappy looking though.
