UK : Ditching the 18" Aero Covers

[FairlyOldGit]

Looking to ditch the !8" aero covers - was intending to go for the usual small centre caps and five nut covers per wheel but
then saw the 'official' Tesla one piece ones - nice but expensive at £56/set

Has anybody got these fitted ? I assume the quality is 100% but do they get pinched since they are simply a push-on fit.

I had a set of the individual ones but the finish tarnished after 6 months. Bought the official Tesla one piece ones and they were great. Looked good and better finish.

I've got a set I bought off Amazon (centre caps and nut covers), fitted them the same time I collected the car, and they still look fine after 2 years. No wear or tarnishing.

I had the official one-piece covers on for about six months. No issues.

Have any of your aero covers been pinched since they are simply a push-on fit?

I have the one piece covers and swap mine when I move from winter to summer tyres. Nice tight fit and look brand new after 2 years.

Bought these a few weeks ago. Very happy with them.

I saw those on my travels around the internet, makes the wheel look like the ?20" ?Uberturbines

I have picked up a S/H set of TESLA one piece hub covers.

init6 - I've only had the car three days and it's parked on the drive, in front of the house, so not much chance of having the aero covers pinched yet!

Do you mind me asking where you got these?

AliExpress and then it's down to choosing the cheapest option.

I've got some too, had them about a year and really like them. The only downside is that they absolutely shred the surface of the alloy underneath and I'm a bit concerned they'll start to corrode come winter.

The seller I used provided some foam tape which I put around the circumference. That's worked OK but most of that damage has been about 4cm in on each "spoke" of the cover.

All that said, the OEM covers aren't exactly kind to the wheels.

I've had the OG Tesla ones on for 2 and a half years. Other than losing 2 nut covers once which was...weird. (Bought some spares off amazon) they still look fantastic and I personally prefer them to the one piece one that they do now.

 

[Leejmoff]

I got the set of Amazon, had two years and they look good as new.

I had my 18" alloys repainted in silver and added the 5-spoke central cover. I think it looks better than the grey that comes as standard.

The photo shows them before I added the 5-spoke cover.

I'm a big fan of the arachnid model 3 covers, think I'll pick them up off AliExpress. They are also fully plastic so hopefully won't damage the original wheels underneath. Some good reviews on youtube and let's be real - all these sellers charging 200-300£/$/€ all just reselling them from AliExpress anyway

I bought a set of all weather mats from AliExpress when I picked up my original RWD M3 and the quality was unreal. Paid less than half the price as the Tesla versions and the like.

 

[M3noob]

I went for the Rimetrix covers... curb rash easily dealt with a spray can and they also cover historical whoopsies.

Cost about the same as redoing three wheels that met their fate from injudicious parking.

I collected them on a trip to the US. Just about fit in a suitcase ;-)

PS The car actually parked itself twice in the last week... backed into a slot. Saints be praised!
