Did you get "gun grey" color and is that the OEM color? Also, how did you privately communicate with the seller to get the Tesla matte caps? Thanks.

Uberturbine Look Aero Wheel Cover for Gemini covers

I'm also curious if "gun grey" or "matte black" is closer to the OEM color. And any updated on impact on range with those XINLIN covers? Thanks.

Sorry for the delay. I got the gun grey color... can't confirm they are the OEM uberturbine color but close enough for me. I told the seller to show me what the caps looked like and that I was looking for all matte ones.

Thinking the gun grey is closest. Sometimes the OEM uberturbines I see around look darker but that could just be the lighting. Plastic covers vs. aluminum wheels.
Not too worried about range. If it turns out to be the same, that's great. If it takes a slight hit, I'm ok with that, too. Worth it for the look vs. Geminis.

Here's mine - ordered from Xinlin on Aliexpress in Gun Grey
Ignore the loose mudflap, was partway through installation

I haven't taken mine off yet but I'd imagine it would take a good tug just like the Gemini caps.

I just installed these rim covers on my MYLR. I was researching and following posts about many other rim covers and wanted to share my experience. I wanted to badly change the look of the wheels to something black, but didnt want to pay $2K for upgraded wheels. I ordered these and they came within 5 days and were packaged amazingly. Each piece was in its own box with bubble wrap carefully wrapped. Instructions were very simple to follow.
Add the foam tape to the inside perimeter and pop off the existing wheel covers. Align the air valve stem and then pop the Lasfit covers right on. Done.
These seem very well made and weigh similar to the Tesla ones except these will cover the rims entirely. So anyone that has had rim damage (curb rash) can cover up the scratches with this wheel cover. I would expect these to have similar efficiency as they cover up pretty well and dont have that big of an opening in the spokes.

I track my drives with Teslamate. The first week of ownership I had OEM wheel covers while I waited for a set to be delivered from Aliexpress. In that time I did not notice any differences in consumption. Last week, I replaced the wheel covers with the Lasfit ones pictured above. Same thing, I have not seen any consumption difference to note. From the last 1 month of drives that were longer than 15 miles: I see a less than 20 Wh/mi avg difference and that could be due to the outside temperature or using more HVAC.
Tesla made me look like an idiot using symmetrical hub caps convincing us it's more aerodynamic. No wonder I instinctively removed them on MY
