PSA: 19 in rims without black lug nut plate

[Sam G]

Just to be clear, I need an extra one of these

I have my set of 4 I can sell you.

Curious how this would look on a black powder coated wheel?

Would I just buy the caps and lug covers for the 18 inch wheel? Since my 19 inch is powder coated black?

 

[adhoc]

I wanted the lug cap to blend...

 

[pandam3]

Will the black cap and lugnut kit from the 18 inch wheel fit the 19 inch wheel? Or do I order black ones from the ModelX or ModelS?

Makes the M3 look bigger without the caps.

That looks amazing. Where did you get the silver center cap from?

I just replied to your other thread. I have a set of 4 silver caps I can sell you. PM me.

If anybody is interested, I have chrome lug nut caps that I don't need and I can sell to you at my cost which was $18. View attachment 297300

Still got them?

 

[pandam3]

Are these the center caps and lug covers from the ModelS and ModelX that fit?

 

[dhu1]

Not sure about the lug covers, but yes the silver center caps from model S. Tesla is pretty stingy about selling them if you don't own a S/X or have a VIN that they correspond the part to, but it is available in the aftermarket via ebay.

View attachment 295716 I did not like the black lug nut plate, so I went to go get some silver center caps from the service center and chrome lug nuts (you can also purchase chrome lug nut covers). Anyways, just thought I would share that this is an easy hack if you wanted a different look.

This is exactly what I am doing when my Midnight Silver is delivered. Now all you need are red brake calipers.

Are your 4 center caps for sale? I am interested.

No worries!

After looking at the pics of everyone's, this is a great mod and makes the car look even better! They should have color matched that to begin with and not make it black!

I did it on day one.

Guess I’m the only one that likes the Krull covers. lol

Both my RWD and P3D+ have the black center cap removed with the Model S center cap and lug nut covers. I think it looks classier.

 

[Mod Y Guy]

I made the switch to the silver center caps almost a year ago now. I still love the look! I did recently add the MSM Tesla T decal in the middle of the center caps and had my calipers painted in a deep blue. I also did MSM door handle decals to subdue a bit of the chrome.

The black center cap looks good if you have black trim parts on the car. Otherwise, the silver does look cleaner.
