Will Model 3 Center Caps Fit Model Y Gemini Wheels?

[DavidAsheville]

I recently saw some pics of a Model Y with Gemini wheels that had the covers off and had some nice looking center caps with the Tesla T. In my view, the center caps greatly improved the look of the uncovered Gemini wheels. I ran a google search but was unable to determine if the caps were specific to the Model Y Geminis or if they were the same caps that fit the Model 3.

While waiting for the factory to reopen and for my car to be built, I thought I might try to source some center caps. Any ideas?

yes they do! Already did it. Color doesn’t match.

Did you try putting on the lug nut covers as well to see how they look?

Yes. Dipped wheels black then put them on. They fit perfectly.

Thanks! And I appreciate the nice pictures you took of your car; it was helpful seeing a blue Y with Geminis and center caps.

No prob. It’s not the stock blue fyi, wrapped navy.

Thanks a lot for your pictures. I’ve seen your car in a Youtube video today, but this pics are better. I was waiting to see the Gemini wheels painted too, I would like to save some money in the rims and go for the 3rd row seating.

Did you painted the wheel covers too? What did you use to paint the rims? I like the color Tesla use in the new black Model 3 Performance rims.

I used plasti-dip, a removable spray paint. Did it in under 2 hours for $30. Painted right over the caps.

Nice! I am planning to do this too, do you have any tips or tricks on this process or any in-progress pics?

Where did you get the center cap and lug covers? I thought the set that Tesla sells is charcoal colored.

Isn't there many companies that make custom centercaps to any size you need?

I’ve only able to find black lug nut caps. The chrome ones I saw were 17mm. Where did you buy these?

I got the silver version of these covers and used the center caps from my Model 3.

What if you want to put the aero covers back on, do you need to take the caps off?
