Tried both the $90 Tesla Caps & $18 Amazon Caps

[Mike321]

In case anyone was thinking of getting the Gemini wheel cap kit for $90, there is literally no difference to the ones on Amazon for under $20. The quality is identical (plastic seems the same) and I actually think the ones I got Here have tighter fitting lug nut covers. A few of the Tesla lug nut covers were a little loose, I have a feeling they would fly off when driving.

Save yourself some money because I do not see any difference. Awful photo in between rain squalls, but here is the black amazon cap vs. the Tesla silver cap. I ended up not using the lug nut covers because the bolts without caps looked better to me.

The Gemini wheel kit used to be overpriced at $50. $90 is just bonkers.

$25 seems fair, $90 is definitely bonkers.

Can those center caps be removed without taking the wheel off?

I like to be able to switch between running the Gemini covers on and off (freeway versus around town). The center caps are in the way of the wheel covers, so they need to be removed before the wheel covers can be put on. I see the little grabber in the kit, but I think that's just for the lug nut covers (which I don't use). Hoping that these center caps can be uninstalled easily, maybe with a plastic pry tool?

Yes, I pull mine off with a small suction cup I got at Harbor Freight.

I used a thin butter knife with a tee-shirt around it to get behind the edge and pry them off… the suction cup seems like a much better idea Thanks for the link.

Got my centre caps on Aliexpress for around $20 cad for 20 pieces. Still have left over since I have only used 15 of them. Never lost any and they all still look like new after several winters on salt infested roads. Cannot find the link on Ali since it was over 2 years ago.
