I own a Model S that's now a few years old (2016 model). Still doing great, but have been looking for some wheel caps to freshen up the look and hide/protect some of the wear and tear.
I could not find wheel caps for my Model S, but just found this (Rim Protector):
EVAAM® Aluminum Alloy Wheel Rim Protector For Tesla All Models (4 PCS) (2012-2023)
Does anyone have any experience with this? Thanks for your feedback!

Hi
@singleview
I took delivery of a set of these (in black) just last week. One day later 'someone' kerbed one of my 6 week old uberturbines!!! So I really need to get the time and weather to give these a go. I bought the 5 pack, so there is one spare should the mystery driver strike again!
Worth noting that my preference was for Alloygators so I bought a set and went to the local centre for fitting. They had to inform me that the combination of Uberturbine wheela and Pirelli tire would not allow them to fit and guarantee. So i got a refund and went back to the drawing board.
I'm not a fan of the Magbak option (too many pieces and changes the look of the wheel). And the Rimsavers look too flimsy. So I discounted both.
I then found the above product on Teslaunch. I placed an order but also dropped them a message to confirm that whilst their website states 'fits all Teslas', they do indeed work on the Uberturbine. To their credit the technical dep't came back to me next day saying they do not work on that wheel.
I then find EVAAM selling what appears to be exactly the same product. Again, I asked them for confirmation and they assured me these work fine on my wheels. I'm dubious and £160 (GBP) is a lot of money to spend on something that 'might' work. However I decided there was little other option so have gone for it. I like the fact these are on piece so will look better, and that they are aluminium so 'should' take any scuffs better than the plastic alternatives (other than Alloygator). Main concern right now is will they fit on, and will they stay on? I really don't want one of these spinning off the wheel at 75mph!
Anyway, that's the long story and I'll provide an update once I've got them in place. Oh and Tesla, please stop providing cars with unnecessarily protruding wheels whilst also binning-off USS!!!
