You did yes, my apologies, tbh I spotted them after I had posted and Rothgarr had kindly obliged so I couldn't really delete the post. Thanks for re-posting.

They are not. The correct way is to use a prying tool. It wont scratch and if paranoid it can be wrapped with some masking tape...

Was looking at these for a while and just realized they don't ship outside of the usa. Is this new?

Oh thats weird they used to. I live near Toronto and they shipped them to me just a couple months ago. Try calling or emailing them?
Nope they've definitely stopped, if you contact them they suggest a shipment forwarding service. They must have stopped just a week or two after I ordered mine to the UK. Hope I don't need replacements anytime soon!
Word to the wise, using a flat trim tool is a bad idea, as if you slip it still scratches (although probably not as bad a screwdriver). Also top tip I realised afterwards, pry in between the fake wheel nuts, as those are where the gaps between the center cap clips are too, and it comes out easiest that way.

Because who doesn't like paying 200 dollars extra because the vendor decides they don't want to fill out a customs form.

you have to be careful and it is how you take them off. they physicially do not come off with a suction tool as the tool cannot get a tight grip due to the R logo.
Also being worried about scratches really should be the least of your worries given how bad the orbitals scratch the original rims...

Thank you
I’ll repost with window tint after today, TESLA matter black decals on rear to replace the chrome T, and then red calipers next. Never thought I’d like black rims but without chrome trim, it no longer makes sense for silver’ish rims in my view. Chrome trim…go silver rim.
Matte Black trim…go matte black rim.
Or else too many colours happening in my view.
I’m sure others appreciate contrast…whatever works

Wow that's brutal! Glad I ordered mine when I did. I love these covers. Now lets just hope I don't wreck one or I'm screwed.
Well I guess I would just ship them to my Florida house and pick them up when I go visit but still a hassle.

They are Aluminum formed into a domed shape with adhesive tape. They are slightly more domed than the “R” caps but will still stick on the outer edges with no possibility of dislodging.Stickers! Well, that's an easy solution.

Yes they do. Actually, IMO, they look better on the silver orbitals, because the Tesla logo is silver.
