We did some testing with the 18" Tesla Model 3 wheels to see if an aftermarket wheel could be as good as the OEM cover in terms of efficiency. The Aroham wheel cover looks amazing but for this test we wanted to see what the functionality was.

Test the RIMETRIX ones?
Rims under the hubs looks the best!
yea they do look the best. i wonder how much efficiency they make the car lose. i’m ready to wrap my m3 AND wrap my rims
I’m not a wheel guy, but those wheel covers look great!
Gotta say, I like the look of the wheels naked.
Looks good. Their website also shows 19" ones for the Model Y.
I ordered the performance looking wheel caps after BTG posted a video. I took my first long trip with them and my efficiency sucked major balls when compared to stock aero v2 wheels. For long trips I may swap out.
Good to know this I watched this video just the other day.
What do you have on when not on road trips? Do you just show rims with Aeros around town? What’s your setup?
These are wheel covers, not hub caps. Hub caps are the small pieces that cover the hubs. That said, they look pretty good. I actually don't mind my stock wheel covers.
As someone that removed the hubcap to grease the wheel bearings, I agree. But it seems to be what most people call them so, whatever. They do look good
Getting technical, if the pattern is not opposite from left to right, they are not the most efficient. Pattern must be directional. Not cut into wind but allow it to flow over them.
So glad I finally saw someone mentioning this. I wanted to get my hands on these covers, but when I found out you get 4 of the same covers instead of 2x2 for each side of the car, I became sceptic. Maybe the influence of the shape is negligible, but also aesthetically I would prefer a 2x2 set.
@@pieter4996 Agreed. Problem is 99 percent of the brands don't want to go through the trouble of having directional wheel cover production lines. I found a few directionals on Amazon but they're 7 spoke, not 14 spoke Uberturbines.
Yes; on one side they will suck air out from the brakes, and on the other side they will fan air onto the brakes. Both unnessesary! Because the brakes on an electric vehicle is never used so hard they need special cooling. And the fan-action just adds drag, and gives lower efficiency... Looking good, working bad.
Love the scientific approach!
LOVE them...HATE the price....GREAT video as USUAL :)
Ordered mine in gunmetal gray since my model 3 is gray from aliexpress for $180 , can’t wait to get them , look amazing
@@DeltaScalper can you please share the link?
Not for $400. There are plenty of similar hub caps in the $200 price range. Are these worth an extra $200? Thx
I had these exact ones from the same company. Drove with them for about 1,000 miles. I took them off by chance to wash but noticed scratches on the spokes where the wheel covers latches on. The scratches were in the same spots on all four of my wheels.
There’s a cushion tape that is supposed to go along the inside edge of the cover but not where it latches. I’ve put on and taken off the stock aero covers several times and they never created scratches. Not sure if you had issues, maybe it’s just mine.
Now I’m getting my wheels repaired. I’ve contacted the company but said they will not cover the shipping cost back to China and the representative recommended that I sell them 🙄
Are you happy with the aroham wheel covers? Pretty major scratches? Deep scratches? Noise? Durable? Efficiency? The aroham customer service didn’t sound too good. Let me know. Thanks
@@mlee1308 Base on my own experiences, I cannot recommend them. They look good. But the guy who had to repair my rims said his previous customers also had the same issues. He had to repair each and every spokes on all 4 wheels. He said these covers will scratch your spokes where it latches and will rub through the foam into the outer rims’ edges. As far as efficiency, that would probably depend on individual driving behaviors but I personally didn’t noticed a big differences in range or efficiency. Hope that helps.
Good review but similar hubs with different name on line for under$200
Yea there are lots of options
Oh i know aroham,thats good company,they YOKE steering wheel are famous
Sounds like you work for them
It's not 1.05 percent more efficient. 1.05 percent is nothing. It's a factor of 1.05 more efficient OR just 5 percent more efficient.
At least someone says it!
Did you account for two of the wheels being backwards?
The wheel covers look great.
$407 🤔 seems pricey.
Yeah the efficiency savings ain't gon a recover that back
Unfortunately they don’t make the caps for the model y look as good as the model 3s. Sad, I would buy them for the 19s
I'm baffled that no one mentioned the "Tesla Hub" with the ever-so familiar jingle! When I heard the jingle, I almost instinctively looked around and wanted to make sure the door was locked!!! Very subtle but very funny!!!
hahaha I know I thought a lot more people would get that but maybe they are too embarrassed to comment haha
In Arizona, there is a part on the new 202 South that has a reeeeaaally bad phantom brake when on autopilot. Nearly comes to like a complete stop. Happens everytime on my route to work lol
bump can cause phantom brake
now put 5 dollar flat pizza pans on them and youll see the biggest efficiency boost ever
Hey Gjeebs I just placed an order on these, hopefully they ship fast 🤞🏼
How are the rim covers? Any issues? Noise? Efficiency? I’m afraid of them breaking since rotating wheels often.
Would u recommend?
I have those same shoes. Once you go UltraBoost, you never go back!
Yea thy are incredible. Nike Joyride are great too
Some wheel covers make creaking sounds.
I remember I bought a set of "car and driver" brand wheel cover for $20 at Target for my old Corolla but these Aroham at $397 I thought I read it wrong...
Is it possible to buy it in 19 for the Model Y?🤔
Come for the science, stay for the Aroham.
They are awesome! I have it and love it!
phantom breaking is 90% shadows on the road
Question.
Why wheel hub covers are not in the same direction ? Not suppose to be ?
Did you notice any rattle or noises coming from these? I had something similar from rimetrix and they made a lot of noise until I realized I forgot to add the foam padding
They included the foam padding as well but we didn't put that on and haven't noticed any sound
Is it really worth having ugly rims for a few extra miles? seems silly to cover up nice rims for a few extra miles.
$400?! you must be high.....
yeah, considering the aero covers are $25/ea ($100 total), that's kind of a lot. looks nice, but i'll stick w/ the aeros
I second that
You can find hub caps that look exactly like the ones in the video for like $100. $400 is just to much for an aesthetic piece that actually makes the range worse. 😂

@@Satchel1992 don’t buy the 100 dollar ones, they fly off your wheel while driving. Tried two sets of them, don’t buy them. RPM Tesla sells sets for 200 that work well
My model 3 just came in 2 days ago and I had seen another guy so the same video and thought they looked great but your video made them look even better! Just placed my order! Do you have any thinks for the satin Tesla center logo?
The center logo on the wheels comes with the kit. If you mean the logo on the steering wheel it's here: Black Tesla Badges: amzn.to/3cbDpj2
The best looking rims on Tesla are the OEM whites
ever test the Orbitals by Remetrix?
I can care less about efficiency, those non-OEM hubcaps don't stay on or last long.
I got a 20 inch hubcaps Tesla y, what do you recommend ?
Lookin into trading my van in for a standard range model 3 🤔
where the link for the #teslaaccessoriethatwillchangeyourlife thingy lol seriously i need it brother
Will installing aftermarket wheel covers void the warranty?
hahaha no
Are You mad using fantasy units from “Lord of the ring”?
do you know id these will fit on my 2022 model S 19"?
Could you do one with the Y long range?
already did it in this video: th-cam.com/video/Wu81YSiU0rI/w-d-xo.html
Oh sorry thanks!
Get them plastic dipped if your worried about scratching on the spokes from after market snap on rims covers.
afrose71
Can the Model 3 18" hubcaps fit on the Model Y wheels? Thanks.
Are these worth the 400 over the identical looking ones on Amazon for ~200USD?
I don't know which ones you are specifically referring to but these look incredible in person. Better than others I have tested because they have a slightly larger diameter. If you do but them just make sure to use the foam padding to protect your wheel behind them from scratching
Looks great, but not for $400
500+ views and 48 likes. We can do better than that!! Thumbs up Gjeebs…enjoy the content!!
Thank you!
When's the turo destruction video coming? Also. Teslabot. Where. Is. It?
Why do you keep saying click here and there be nothing “there”.
does the aroham cap make the same clicking sound of the OEM model 3 cap?
I don't think it does
Did you ever find a way to fix this? I can take my wheel caps off and reinstall them and they'll be quiet for a day or so and then it's back to the awful loud clicking noise! Ive clipped those tabs on the back side but it still clicks!
Wheel Covers are ghetto, I feel like I’m watching advert for pep boys. Looks so much better with the rims visible. If I’m sacrificing range I’m going to have rims not plastic hub caps… and that’s free. The new caps are barely more efficient than no covers too.
I saw your pink Tesla today.
I found them CHEAPER on amazon!!
Stop using a variable ND filter on your camera
for $500 im halfway to a whole set of rims ffs.
The 19 inch caps for the y doesn’t look as good as the 18 inch for the model 3! Not understanding why the difference in design.
Can you also give us the kilograms please?
$400? No way! $200 is ok
not gonna lie, might order these
I'm just happy you aren't lying
@@Gjeebs I only lie when I tell someone that Chili's isn't my favorite restaurant.
The hubcap link in your description is broken.
It’s not, I just placed an order ?
Should be fixed now
Spend over $400 and add unsprung weight AND inefficient
Look great but 400 bucks for hub caps lmao 🤣 these people need to be drug tested
I didn't lie, just placed the order lol
Also $400 for some hubcaps? Gtfo
🤣🤣🤣
