Review on πŸ”΄ Weishine - Red Caliper Covers for Tesla Model 3 2017-2021 19-Inch Car Calipers (Not Compatible with Model Y) by Michael Moulton

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Very close alas, but no cigar...

I have to start by saying these guys were very accommodating in sending a new set of cases to N/C that supplied 19" instead of 18". But unfortunately, as others have said, they need to make some minor changes to the setup. If there aren't different caliper sizes, mine won't fit, although others seem happy. I decided to give them every opportunity to work, including filing some areas of the cover to make it fit. Let me just say that I'm very much a mechanic and have experience including engine repairs and more. I never managed to attach the left rear cover. My car is a 2021 M3 LR that was released on April 21st. Factory 18-inch aero wheels with aero covers removed. The fit was very snug but not enough to be properly and securely in place. It's too risky for one of them to come off while driving. The design is beautiful as others have said and the increased size makes it appear like your brakes are bigger than they really are. I have factory 18" aero wheels and the Weishine cap touches the inside of the wheel spokes. Even if you push it in as hard as you can, it just can't stay securely in place. I could hold it in the right position if I could hold it all the time, but that would hurt my hand on the freeway! This doesn't even take into account that my wheel has a balancing strip in the wheel, which can also wobble, but I've never gone that far. For an additional $100 I can get powder coated calipers or even try red high temp caliper paint. . Unfortunately, the rear calipers aren't very big, but at least the paint job is safe. I hope Weishine gives me my $$$ back. And redesign them for a future try.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Requires socket
