Advice on wheel covers for Model 3?

patrolmanEmbiid | 2026-03-05 14:08 | 22 views

Just looking for some recommendations on wheel covers for my wife's Model 3? Wanting to go all black and prefer to spend $200 or less. The aero's are decent looking but I personally believe a glossy black would make the car "pop" a bit more. I've heard people recommend Temu/AliExpress but just wondering if anyone had any "safer" recommendations on Amazon, etc?

Just take them off and get the bolt covers. For city driving the range loss isn’t noticeable anyways. And when you go on a road trip put them back on. The rims underneath are pretty good looking and make the car look sportier

I wish I never changed from OEM. The after market ones scratch the crap out of the wheels.

I just have the Tesla wheel cap kit on mine

Can be found in asymmetrical type, meaning they have left and right versions (which even the original Uberturbine wheels don’t have. They are symmetrical). Go for gunmetal grey, not matte black if you aim to duplicate the larger OEM Uberturbines. They do scratch the edge a bit, but the oem covers did rattle and scratch anyway. How I miss that car. It was flawless otherwise.

I got Kavanic Uber turbines and then put some color in the center.

I took the Aero out on my 2024 and it turns out the 20’s it came with are actually pretty nice!!

Amazon listings are not safer lol. They're the same items and often the same sellers a lot of the time, the Amazon listings just cost more.

Got these Uberturbine style from AliExpress for $65. Same set on Amazon = $150-$225. Amazon sellers buy in bulk from Alibaba (the wholesale division) and mark ‘em up….a lot! https://preview.redd.it/98bkc019f9ng1.jpeg?width=3914&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=880841add46eaed9596092feb63e5d1819168306

Are these 19’s? If so, would you mind sending me the link for ‘em?

Crawdaddy-MktgGenius 2026-03-05 17:57

Ha! The covers make the stock 18” look like 19”![Yikun Uberturbine](https://a.aliexpress.com/_mqMeaG5) btw, had to buy the Tesla logo hub “badges” separately.

They sure look nice though! Send the link please 😁

Do yours creak when turning at slow speeds?

Crawdaddy-MktgGenius 2026-03-06 05:30

Nope.

I bought plaid/arachnid style covers, i think they look very good. Much better than aero. Although sacrifice a little range.

AgnisMB 2026-03-07 08:42

By the way, no sacrifice on range
