“Sport Wheel” hubcaps for my 18 inch rims

cyyz2000 | 2026-01-16 17:18 | 48 views

Been wanting to swap out my 18s for 19 inch sport rims. Decided to get these replica 18 inch hubcaps instead from AliExpress for about $130. Not bad…would still love the actual rims though lol. Maybe after my tread has worn out.

I have done the same and am quite pleased with mine. I used to have 19” wheels on my Mazda6 and blew the tires several times over potholes and railroad tracks. I’m happy to keep the same look with these covers but have some more tirewall at 18” for forgiveness and a smoother ride.

I have a 2018 Model 3 Performance with 20 in wheels. Does it look cool? Hell yeah. Is it super impractical? 100%. I've debated going to 18s for a taller sidewall and more comfortable ride. And cheaper tires. My advice is hold out as long as you can lol

id say those look 99% as good as the real 19 rims, I have them and honestly sometimes think about downsizing, so you have the best of both worlds

Looks good Can you share the product link here?

I got mine from EV Base

Assuming EV base price must be expensive than Ali express right ?

Probably

Most Tesla accessory sites buy in bulk from AliExpress for cheap and resell.

Thanks, and yeah that’s true. I had these same hubcaps 2 years ago but I curbed one of my rims and they fell off lol and got kind of loose. I’ll just have to drive carefully

cyyz2000 2026-01-16 19:32

This was my same logic too haha, I would be sacrificing looks for range. Did your clips on the back get loose with time? They fit very snug right now but I’m afraid they might get loose when I take them off for a rotation

I had ones like this with the plastic clips. They broke off every time when I got the tires rotated lol. It’s a losing battle. Let me know if you find a way to get these off without breaking them.

Ah that’s good to know, yeah that’s def a major trade off

They fit snugly and u can barely tell they are hubcaps. I scraped one badly so I just bought another set and have 3 left for future scrapes😀. I got mine on Aliexpress as well
