I’ve watched like 8 videos already these are the best looking one!

@3030hp Год назад

agreed! they're like matte black geminis that cover the entire rim. exactly what I was looking for (the 20's look w/o 20's price/inefficiencies).

@tiendo4070 Год назад

This is the greatest wheel and wheel cover tests that I have ever watched. Thanks bro. I am going to buy it. I want the efficiency and the look.

@Galileo9.81 6 месяцев назад

Looks good 👍🏻 Btw, vendors are making about 400% mark-up on these items. Exact same products are selling for $50/4 sets at TEMU with 2-3wks wait on delivery.

@BitJam 2 года назад

Thanks for doing this testing! One thing that's not clear is how much variation there is between tests. Perhaps one day in your copious free time you could do four tests AABB. Comparing the A test with the A test and the B test with the B test will give you an idea of the variance. Without something like this it's hard to judge the significance of your results.

@DylanHongTech 2 года назад

I agree there could be a much larger sample size to validate the results. Unfortunately I don’t have the free time/funding for that type of project. It would be cool though!

@bwan516 Год назад

Awesome video. I just ordered a model Y with the Gemini wheels and wanted a solution to make it a black rim and this was that solution. Thanks for the thoroughness in your video. Will be ordering with your affiliate link when I get delivery of the car!

@peacemaker5920 6 месяцев назад

How ae they holding up? Any damage/scratch on your rim?

@DLcine Год назад

Again the covers are not symmetrical 2x2, they are all the same, that means one of the car sides has bad aerodynamic wheel covers, as the thinner blades need to cut the air when the car is moving forward. Would be great to find the same with 2x2 version instead. They seem great and look better than stock on a black or grey MY.

@NessunaOffesa Год назад

Indeed!

@DLcine Год назад

@@NessunaOffesa Well i had a look at Uberturbine or even aero stock caps, and they are all the same too. Tesla didnt do it symmetrically.

@Pelasgian-Illyrian-Of-Epirus Год назад

I had the same idea to write it down, cant understand how stupid is this that they not sell symmetrical wheel covers even Tesla own Gemini , thats the all failing point. Otherwise thanks for the detailed video.

@hgodtx Год назад

The Blade style from the same manufacturer are symmetrical. I'm torn, since I like the Blade style better and the fact they are symmetrical, but they claim it's not as efficient as these Gemini style.

@tigermilk96 Год назад

Thanks for doing this! I sorta liked the styling on blade covers but these also look good but don’t have the efficiency problem which will sway me to get these instead

@DylanHongTech Год назад

Thanks! I’ve tested 3 different 3rd party covers and these are by far the most efficient. I’ve used them the most for this reason even though they’re less attractive

@MarvinFontanilla Год назад

I like these a lot. Black Geminis. I’m going yo try to stay as close to OEM as possible.

@rkgsd Год назад

Some wheel covers don't extend as far into the wheel as others. Here, you see the silver wheel behind the cover a little more than I'd like. They just needed to extend another quarter inch.

@MartinYan2108 Год назад

great video. do you plan to make another series about adding mud flaps and how the efficiency would change?

@timogronroos4642 Год назад

The hotter the air is, the less dense it is. So the drag will be smaller when hotter.

@hgodtx Год назад

Hmmm...3 degrees hotter! Would've been interesting to note your tire pressures before and after each trip. Wonder if your tires were showing 2 extra lbs if that would account for the improvement since rolling efficiency would've been greater!?!

@tylerhu603 Год назад

I think the black covers might of done better because of the fact that it was tested on a hotter day. Tires inflate when your driving fast and in this case 70mph is fast. The increase thermal expansion of the tires could get you the small increase in efficiency we see here.

@DylanHongTech Год назад

There’s definitely a chance that this contributed. I’ve done this test with different orders too (Gemini first then third party and vice versa) and seem to get reasonable results. I’ve had Gemini on first then third parties that got considerably worse range

@chunglee352 Год назад

did your wheel covers come with the foam strips to protect the wheel at the periphery? I didn't see foams on your covers in the video. Has there been any damage to the wheees after using these covers for a while?

@R3s0n4te 9 месяцев назад

I'm interested in this as well. I added foam to the rim but they stick out a wee bit now. Wonder if it's worth it.

@Bigpopp1 2 года назад

Thanks for the review. I just got my model Y yesterday and although the induction wheel covers are less efficient I think I prefer them around town. These do definitely look better than the stock version though for sure.

@Rahul-Nalawade 2 года назад

Induction wheel don't have wheel covers you could remove. THIS IS FOR GEMINI WHEELS ONLY.

@DylanHongTech 2 года назад

Yes. When I said induction “styled” wheels, I am referring to my previous video where I reviewed induction styled wheel covers for the Gemini wheels

@cousinvinny5066 Год назад

Thanks for the video. Any additional tips on how to remove 3rd party wheel covers more easily? Have a really hard time trying to remove the ones I installed. TIA!

@neelvsheth1 Год назад

I just put these on. Looks super dope.

@rajm4099 Год назад

Hey Dylan, great video. Just wondering if you ever experienced any clicking noises from the matt black rims. Even after using the foam inserts, mine started making odd noises which were clearly audible.

@NAvArS12345 Год назад

i am checking to change my gemini wheels color or use this caps what you used, did you notice any issues till now on these? do you see any range difference comparison to original standard gemini caps?

@makeworldbette Год назад

These new covers look almost identical to original cover if spray painted black

@StepanMlok Год назад

Hi people, what do you think about Rimetrix Laminar Covers in terms of efficiency? Any experience? Are they really comparable to the Tesla Aero originals? Thanks.

@RahulTinku-kk2sq Год назад

Hi Dilan, hope you are doing good, why dont you try with plastic dip and measure the weights before and after for gemini wheels if possible

@kaushaljariwala9649 Год назад

Thanks, great video and review! Are these directional? I've seen a few comments on Amazon saying that there is a R & L on the back, but the seems like I received all 4 "R".

@DylanHongTech Год назад

Nope not directional

@mousepotatoc2566 2 года назад

Why didn't you get the Rimetrix wheels? These look just like the Gemini covers, but just black and full rim coverage. The foam is for later when the fit changes due to age or heat, they may rattle. Also the tight clasps will wear out the paint on the alloy wheels where it contacts.

@DylanHongTech 2 года назад

I’m not a big fan of how the Rimetrix ones look

@ilovepinktacos Год назад

Also the ringers version is not efficient as the fan blades are rut in the opposite direction. Making the car inefficient.

@JayPeeGT Год назад

Can you still add a rim protection after installing these wheel cover?

@Keep-HODL Год назад

i could not remove aftermarket wheel cover even your trick is really hard ...do you know any others tricks ?? please 😤

I have the same caps. I do notice the alloy rims being silver, do show up more with the black caps. I was considering partially spraying the visible part with plasti dip.

They’re probably an injection molded copy. They have the same fin shapes, but the side with the clips is totally different. Then the plastic wraps around the rims of the wheels as well. Tesla’s covers leave the rims exposed

In reality, none of the wheel covers available on the market can match the quality and efficiency of the original. Modifying them is a waste of money, and it is better to replace with forged wheels to reduce unsprung weight and improve driving and handling feel.

The included aero caps have a glossy finish and do not cover the the raised outer part of the rim. So you end up with some pain chipping issues and then a silver outline around the caps. Doesn’t look as clean

@bdtang Год назад

Agree - got these b/c it’s all black and hide the rim rash on my wife’s Y. Looks good from afar. They now come with the default blank black centers but I also ordered the matte black T centers separately. Not sure how they are more efficient since they are basically identical design but are a bit bigger to hide the rims whereas the original oem Gemini sits flush inside the rim.
