Wheel hubcaps from Tessories?

[spdpsba]

I have had Rimetrix hubcaps on my Model 3, however, it did leave scratches all over the alloys. Luckily I had the alloy wheel protection cover and so managed to get it sorted before I hand over the Model 3. But I am wondering whether the Tessories wheel hubcaps with some foam pads are better than the Rimetrix. Is anyone bought the hubcaps for Y or 3 from Tessories and do they leave marks and deep scratches?. The only advantage of these hubcaps are they leave slightly less deep scratches and Revive can touch up quickly without major expense.

I bought some "asixxsix" 18 inch hubcap covers for model 3 on Amazon. They were very similar to a pair I bought from another store. Haven't left any marks yet, and fairly cheap!

I just bought 19" ones for MY which are in transit for delivery. From the photos and description it should offer RIM protection .
Once I have them installed I will update

Which one did you buy? The tempest, vortex or the swirl?

Nice ones - out of stock, will go for the tempest as has some grey may match MSM

Have a look at these.... I thought they were good as you also have the option of buying singles just in case...

I also got the blade. Do you find they are slightly noisier than the original ones?

Rimetrix are noisy and I thought it served the purpose of making some noise as pedestrian warning as I had the 2021 model 3 without boombox.

I very recently got the 19" blade v2 from tessories for a MY , fitted nicely and the foam should protect the alloy lip, certainly good value at the moment and not noticed any drop off in efficiency or any extra noise.

These are the hubcaps in place. They didn't have have blade ones, so I went with the swirl. I like the look and the installation was super easy as expected. No noticeable noise or vibrations so far

Looks good but you need some tyre shine on the rubber to blend them in.

Or get the hubcaps dirty....I think I know what will come first

I think the hubcaps makes the wheels look bigger as they extend over the rim

Nice ones. Ive got the tempest ones. Yes easy to fit but the OEM hubcaps already scuffed the alloys. What do guys think of alloy protection cover? Worth it at the end or cost same as repairs?

Did the Tesla logo centre come with them? The pics on the websites I see doesn't have them but you guys do?
Been thinking of this for a while.

I assume no noticeable impact to range?

IMHO... be careful and take the risk... its a gamble either way... The black covers look great btw and defo beats silver on a dark grey car, again IMHO

Yes, they supply the Tesla logo.

Yes, they supply the Tesla logo.

Thanks, is it a separate clip in thing or does it just come like that (like the OEM ones)?

No separate sticky ones.
