BASENOR treats Legacy Model 3 wheel covers as a fitment and protection part first. The verified wheel-cover products here are made for 2017–2023 Tesla Model 3 cars with factory 18-inch wheels, not the 2024+ Highland refresh and not 19-inch sport wheels. The real owner problem is keeping the rim face covered after curb contact, replacing missing aero caps, and getting a snap-on cover that does not rattle after a highway drive. The two wheel-cover sets use ABS construction, buckle-style installation, and a 4-piece format. One additional Model 3 interior product appears in the same compatibility group; we label it clearly below.
Start with wheel size. If your 2017–2023 Model 3 runs the standard 18-inch wheel, these BASENOR covers are the correct lane. If your car has 19-inch sport wheels, aftermarket wheels, or the 2024+ Highland wheel design, do not assume fitment. Then choose by look: matte-black Performance-style covers change the profile most, while the OEM-style cover keeps a factory-inspired appearance.
| Option | Best use | Key spec | Verified fit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Matte-black Performance-style 18-inch covers | Changing the Legacy Model 3 stance without buying new wheels | 4-piece ABS set, buckle snap-on install, matte-black finish | 2017–2023 Model 3 with 18-inch wheels |
| OEM-style 18-inch hubcap rim protectors | Covering curb rash and replacing worn or missing hubcaps | 4-piece ABS set, direct snap-on install, factory-inspired profile | 2017–2023 Model 3 with 18-inch wheels |
| Model 3 / Model Y steering-wheel wrap | Cabin grip upgrade; not a wheel-cover product | Anti-slip wrap, tool-free interior install | Model 3 / Model Y steering wheel fitment group |
Pick this set if you want the strongest visual change. The matte-black finish gives the 18-inch wheel a darker Performance-style face, while the ABS cover snaps over the original hub. The product page excludes 2024 Model 3, so Highland owners should not use this fitment.
This is the more factory-looking choice. It is built for the original 18-inch Model 3 hub and uses a buckle design for tool-free installation. Choose it for covering rim rash or replacing tired aero covers without changing the car's overall design language.
This is not a hubcap or rim protector. It appears in the same Model 3 compatibility data because it fits the cabin, not the wheel. Use it only if you also want a removable anti-slip steering-wheel wrap.
No. The verified wheel-cover products in this collection are listed for 2017–2023 Model 3 Legacy cars. Model 3 Highland is the 2024+ refresh with exterior and wheel-design changes, so do not transfer Legacy 18-inch hubcap fitment to Highland unless a product page explicitly says so.
These wheel-cover sets are for 18-inch Model 3 wheels. A hubcap is shaped around the rim diameter, spoke face, and clip locations, so a 19-inch sport wheel or aftermarket wheel should be treated as a different fitment until verified on the product page.
The matte-black set changes the car's look more aggressively, giving the 18-inch wheel a darker Performance-style face. The OEM-style set stays closer to the original Model 3 hubcap profile. Both are 4-piece ABS snap-on covers for 2017–2023 Model 3 18-inch wheels.
They can cover visible rim-face scuffs when the damage sits behind the cover area. They are not a structural wheel repair. If the rim is bent, cracked, leaking air, or vibrating, inspect the wheel before adding a cover.
The BASENOR descriptions list buckle-style, direct snap-on installation without extra tools. Wheel rebalancing is not normally part of a hubcap install because the tire and rim are not removed. Press evenly around the perimeter and recheck each cover after the first drive.
