BONUS CONTENT: The stock rims are slightly less efficient, but in the summer I think it's worth it for this look. Efficiency is most effected in the winter when a lot of energy is spent keeping the battery warm. Thinking about painting the calipers now 🤔

Alex Sibila once I took mine off I didn’t want to put them back on. The hubcaps are easier to keep clean because there is no reaching in the rims.

That was a sickkk intro. Getting all creative with simple videos. Nice job! Honestly, if I'm looking for a product, I just reach out to the company and see if they are interested in working with me. That way you don't have to hope and pray. Might want to try that if you're eyeing something rather than getting random emails for random products you're not interested in anyway.

Drill a small hole into the cap before installing. Then when time to remove, use a tiny Allen wrench that fits in the hole and pull. This is how Porsche center caps are removed. They come from the factory with the small hole already in the cap. One more thing, the bottom of the “T” should point to the valve stem… another Porsche thing.

When you install the aero covers again, you obviously need to remove the “T” part (with a suction cup or similar), but for the bolt plastic covers, what do you do? You also remove them or are compatible with the aero covers?

Honestly, wished Tesla had higher quality rims on the model 3 base tires, the alloys have a cheapening, ugly look especially with just a little dirt or dust. Then the aero caps look like cheap plastic covers you could get off a prius. Car is a 50k plus purchase and unless you get the sports wheels, the base look like something you get on a 20k Corolla...
