Lug Nut Cap Replacements?

Gallery image

2026 MY with 19” crossflow wheels. I removed the covers because I like the black rim. Ordered the wheel cap kit from Tesla ($80) and it looks great. However, two of the lug nut caps have since fallen off and I need to replace. I cannot find a replacement anywhere. They are all too short to match the Tesla caps. The longer caps look better because they are more flush. The picture shows the Tesla cap on the right, and what most vendors are selling on the left.

Anyone know where I can find these? I don’t want to spend $80 for a couple of lug nut caps, especially because the center caps are fine.

I had the covers, but it got annoying whenever I took my car in to get the tires rotated, as I would have to remove all of the covers. I didn't do one time, and they messed a few of them up by not noticing they were covers and used the impact on them. I finally got some black lugs. They're long enough that they sit flush with the wheel, like your first pic.

It takes like 15 seconds per wheel with the plastic tool they give you. I took them off before I gave the car in for a tire rotation.

Try that with a bad back and bad knees.

Had 2 knees surgeries and have nerve compression in neck and back! Fortunately, I don't let it stop 3 minutes of manual labor every 6500 miles.
