I bought these for my model 3 just a note when applying the foam strips you need to actually start at a specific spot marked on the wheel per the instruction
I would still do what I did - buy 2nd set of wheels, put stock all season performance rubber on that new set, put winter tires on the stock wheels with or without updated hubcaps. I agree with everything you said in this video, especially the start, good stuff.
I just put these on my car yesterday and the improved the look of my car dramatically!. I will say I still don't like the price tag for hub caps but they are a lot cheaper than spending 2K with the negative impacts.
Just ordered. Used your code!These will sell out fast. Thank you Chris for telling us about this. I was going to do plasty dip to make them black but that would be a big project. This is worth it for the time it would take and the touch ups needed over time as it scratches off. 👍.
I like driving fast on twisty mountain roads, so I'm with you on that. No drifting for me, but the extra precision and control in the curves is totally worth losing a few % of range.
Those covers look great! I have different style black wheel covers (they're also asymmetrical) from a different company and I love the way my covers look, also, and efficiency seems to be at least the same as stock covers while also holding up really well.
i like the metal colored wheel cover look better, though i’m not crazy about the design of the original wheel cover. Does the one you put on come in silver?
Have them for a month. Love them! Looks really good! Have to rotate my tires. Do you need to take them off before getting it done? And how do you remove the center cap? Threw out the instructions.
Tesla must have chosen to allow a certain amount of air through the original for brake cooling. Makes me wonder how different the replacement ones are, however EVs tend to use little breaking so probably fine under most conditions.
Looks great! But I'll wait until to consider getting these until they remove the branding - even if it's subtle. I'd rather place a tesla sticker on the center of the wheel.
These look 100X better! But think they would sell much more at $200/set. Did Tesla deliberately design ugly wheels so buyers would upgrade to the $2,000 wheels?
I would have never thought hubcaps would be making a comeback… but these looks just like all the other cookie cutter covers from Amazon or AliExpress. What make these $300?
Those look nice,. but, couldn't you just spray paint the other ones black. ? i suppose you still can, or any other colour, maybe that nice tesla blue. :)
I’ll be honest, I bought a set of covers from Amazon for my Model 3 18 inch wheels and it only cost $130. From what I can tell the build quality is identical to what Remix is selling and it could even be coming from the same factory. I think Remix is a bit of a ripoff tbh.
@@DirtyTesla I just looked and all the made in China ones are far different from the Rimetrix ones. They are made with a different plastic that isn't as durable and the design is not as good IMO. Many of the other vendors are just selling Chinese versions and calling it their own. Rimetrix seems to be the only US made product. I think we are buying these for the wife's Y.
Unfortunately they have terrible customer service. Ordered a month and a half ago and still hasn’t shipped. They ignored my update request twice and responded the third time only saying they will check on my shipment but never actually sent an update.
It must be a generational thing. This all black thing the 40 and under crowd like is not appealing to me. I spent extra for the 19" alloy sport wheels on the wifes Model 3 SR and it looks great. I put the wheel center caps and lug covers on the standard wheels the day I got the Model Y LR so we drive these ugly wheel dressed cars around every day blissfully unaware of the judgement from from you youngsters 🙂
The price of these are an absolute joke. The stock covers are $35 a pop. These are about $75. If they were a similar price to stock I'd be in. All these tesla centric companies do this nonsense.
Yeah they are decently expensive but they are made in the USA if that matters to you. But many people are willing to pay two grand for the bigger wheels so I could see if you really want that look at being worth it
I bought these for my model 3 just a note when applying the foam strips you need to actually start at a specific spot marked on the wheel per the instruction
That’s weird. Why would it makes a difference where you start placing the foam strip?
It definitely makes more sense to spend the lesser amount in the hundreds than to spend $2k on the bigger tires. These covers look great!
I would still do what I did - buy 2nd set of wheels, put stock all season performance rubber on that new set, put winter tires on the stock wheels with or without updated hubcaps. I agree with everything you said in this video, especially the start, good stuff.
I’ve been using these since I kickstarted them. They are great.

That's probably one of my favorite options that I've seen.
I have the early Model 3 ones and I love them. Looks nice and fits perfectly.

Thanks Chris, good review. I just purchased a set for my Model Y Gemini wheels. I have some curb rash that I am going to cover up! Win Win!
I had the previous version from Rimetrix sent over to Switzerland, which is pretty expensive - but I love them 🤩 - best, Carlo
Low profile tires have better steering performance. I agree 30 series tires can be a PIA if bad roads are in your area.

We have something similar on our 3. Instant curb rash fix.

9:10 haha :D The spider went right back^^
The 19" covers I bought off Amazon came with Tesla logo's on the center caps. They are just stick on's, but you can't tell once they are on.
Do they have different left and right covers?
I was wondering if my wife would approve and then Stephanie gave her glowing approval.
Enjoy your videos. Your Model Y looks awesome.
not bad but the discount gets cancled out with shipping cost of $32 :(

thanks for your review!! I just ordered mines a few days ago. And yes i don't like the center cap branding, give us blanks lol.

just saw second half of video.. lol use a flathead!
Yeah I'd definitely remove them before you go
plus you get better range with the smaller wheels!
Are they directional, are they labelled left side vs. right side?
What is the best way to remove Rimetrix cap & not breaking it in order to to replace the tire?
I would go with the naked wheels. I think they look best by far. Not concerned about the slight range loss.
Do these protect against curb rash?
Best Tesla mod you can do! I hate all the covers they use, SO much better all blacked out now.

@@tamilmathi9062I just used your code bro. Quick question do the Medusa wheel caps stick out like the Amazon ones?
@@tonymunoz7400i guess it doesn’t. My order hasn’t arrived so can’t check now
Can u use a tesla cap instead of thwir cap?
Na their caps are specially designed to lock the cover into place
Are they easy to pull off? I bought another brand which broke at unmount, had to send them back.
I show it in the video, was very easy for me.
You couldn’t have let me have a monopoly on wheel cap cover videos? 😤
The new ones look great - but I gotta say, the original ones would also look great if they were carefully painted.

One advantage to real rims is they can't easily be stolen
For $300 the foam should have came pre-installed
😂 good idea
Buy some Tesla logo center stickers.
They look awesome. But they do not look mirrored so they have a left and right side.
Those look nice,. but, couldn't you just spray paint the other ones black. ? i suppose you still can, or any other colour, maybe that nice tesla blue. :)
Hubcaps making a comeback lol😅

I bought black wheel covers from Tesmanian for $139 on sale. Shipping included. Normally $179 I think.
@@stephenmiller6690 how are they holding up? Price is much more reasonable
The ones from Tesmanian have held up great so far. They do have left and right marked on them so one side isn't backwards. Very happy with them.
These addons are never for model x.
We like our cars to and appreciate fixing ours up. Girrrr
Dislike the gemini covers but I love the wheels underneath. No idea why there's this obsession with black wheels at all!
Yikes, expensive. But they look good.
Not expensive compared to the originals though
😂 wife approved.
oh my gosh
yeah i don't know about all black... especially when they are so small. looks like an oversized couch on tiny legs
They look pretty nice like the real ones but it's a better contrast with a white car.
Your car is clean! What happened?
Did it for thos video 😂 not clean anymore.
Disagree silver looks much better
Those are ugly as hell. Stock caps are better.
