The material of Wheel Cover. ABS OR Carbon Fiber?

[John Snow]

Hi, Guys
Have you thought about the material of this wheel cover on your tesla model 3? Do you think it has a practical effect on reducing wind resistance? Or if there are other styles to choose from, will you consider buying it?

Yes, it helps 3 to 4%. If there were better looking choices, yes, I would consider it.

Second the motion. I notice a difference on trips.

Material is FRP. I don't go on long drives without it. Most of the Aero designs look fairly typical and do a good job of reducing drag, like posted, 3-4%.
I'm sorry, FRP - Fiber reinforced plastic.

If there are other types of aero sold on the amazon, it cost 220-250 dollar, would you consider buying it?

No. I have the small center caps and lug covers. They don't start to have any effect until you get to highway speeds. Around town I'm more concerned about parking lot damage/ theft so I take them off then.
