The problem is as many have already stated, the Tesla wheels stick out even with the tires making it easier to curb and damage them. I've never curbed a wheel in my life, until I got a Tesla.
Yeah I bought the all-in-one Rim Protector for Tesla Model 3 Performance 20-inch Uberturbine Wheel from Teslaunch. Haven’t fitted them yet, but they look good.
I received mine today and they fit perfectly. I did curb rash my rear driver's side wheel but I was able to fix it by sanding it down and using touch up paint. That said I installed the foam around the wheel and placed a strip for each prottruding lip. I assume your wheel is out of round or the lip bent so it doesn't stay tight. Just my 2 cents.
I have the MagBak and yeah it takes a while to put on, and from your video a lot of work to take off. The only reason I'm considering these is the simplicity when changing the tire(s). With the MagBak it will take some time and I would have to do it to avoid any potential add on fees from a tire shop. The biggest plus side is the fact you can replace a damaged section with the MagBak which I have done already.
Why don't you put a little doubled sided tape on the gapped area? If they made them for the Model Y Performance wheels, then I'd probably buy a couple sets.
Why have you not curbed these protectors in two weeks? The take away is: protect your rims as if you had rim protectors on them.
Yes well...
I haven’t got in a fatal car crash in two weeks, but that doesn’t mean it’s still not a good prudent idea for me to wear my seatbelt👍

Any indication that they will be making a rim for Model 3 Überturbines?
So far I haven't heard they are. I imagine it will depend on the success of this rim guard.
They do have it for the 21” uberturbine if you’re still interested in them. They fit like a glove on mine.

Hi do they have the rim guards for the model 3 with the aero caps
Not at this time. Right now these are just for the model Y.

Did you wipe the rims with IPA before applying the rim covers?
No I drank some though
@@CfTesla lol!
Could the rim a little deformed due to hitting through curb?
Yes for sure. This is my thought.
He stated that in the video.
This is why I still think Magback rim case is better
They do offer a bit more flexibility to deal with changes to the rim. No doubt there. There is definitely give and take with each good option.
That thumbnail had to be the wife driving right? :)
110%!!!!!
Rim guards are fool’s gold.
