I know. Can't fault him for trying as he did put effort into them. It's a small price and I paid for them the first time around. There were things to look at that I had not considered.This, ahem, SUGAR is behind a paywall. Lame! But thanks for sharing
Having the exact same problems driving my old Pilot. The worst is leaving it running and getting out and walking away.
This is my plan, only use the aero caps for long road trips where there might be a few supercharger stops (which I do very rarely - once or twice a year). Just ordered some of those center caps to arrive on Monday and sit in a pile with my mudflats and push rivets, waiting for my car to be delivered hahaha.I would probably do just that, and leave them off until you do road trips at high speed. Looking great!
@2021plaid @DukeofURL But the question is, "What about replacing those fuggly raw metal lug nuts"? Would love a black similar to the other chrome delete black....
On your car’s color - looks amazing and I’d leave them off too. I’m not sure how this would look on Red though.
My thoughts are that maybe you could find some covers for those lug nuts, similar to the ones Tesla sell for the M3 18" Aero Wheels.
I would consider powder coating them to match the trim, but still overall, I think these wheels are ugly. Looking at aftermarket option, including some places with literally over 100 choices, if these wheels were on the list, I would probably put them dead last.
The center caps help a lot, and I admit that on this color, the wheels do look better without the covers.
Take a look at my avatar. This is exactly what I have on my '49 Buick!
I will be thrilled to the marrow if someone were to buy my tempest wheels. I’ll be ordering my rims and tires the moment I have the car On the 2nd of Sept. if all things hold.
Visited a powder coat place in Toronto, got quoted CDN$350 - 500 for the job.
Mine dropped about the same on a 5 Series BMW. Was shocked it dropped that much in such a short time, now wondering if I should just keep it and ride out my lease or try to get someone to take it over. Last month it was a no brainer as the value was so strong. Bummer!
This is why I am pretty set on making sure I get my delivery concluded before my trade valuation on our Mustang expires on Sept 11th. My delievery is now scheduled for September 2nd, which is very likely to hold within a few days of that with the car in actual transit (not sitting at the factory).

Looks like nothing has moved from that temp lot in several months. A bunch of M3s & MYs but I didn't see many MS Plaid/LR vehicles...IDK what's going on at Tesla Fremont but to me, it looks like nothing much.
What center caps did you order and are you customizing your mud flaps?
That looks like top of Angeles Crest Hwy., not Illinois? Takes some guts with the drop-offs around the edges.
