Winter wheels and tires - should I get new nuts or use factory nuts (with caps)

[jjgg]

I've just got my new winter wheels and tires delivered. Since I have factory gemini 19" wheels and the winter wheels are Replika R241 black, the factory lug nuts have the wrong color. Should I just get some black nut caps or a new set of black nuts?

Caps. Cheaper and don’t worry about scratching the paint off them when you swap wheels each season.

Are all caps the same size? Not sure what to get for my satin black R241s.

They are not. You want to find caps that match the socket size for the wheel nuts, which is 21mm. I didn't feel the need for a centre cap with Tesla logo so I bought a $10 set on Amazon and they have held up in the last winter.

I bought a set of the caps for the lugs. I may consider plastidipping the geminis or the gemini covers black so thought a black cap might come in handy. I presume by the time i do that i will have cracked some of the lug caps and will need more…

Got mine on Aliexpress, ordered a few sets as I figured some may come off and I do have 2 teslas. Very nice quality and dirt cheap however delivery does take a few weeks. Cost me $18 delivered for 3 sets. 21mm is the correct size.
