Tesla Rim Protector Model Y 21 in Uberturbine - Matte Black Set of 4

In this review of the Tesla Rim Protector Model Y 21 in set, the bottom line is simple: it is a practical, low-cost way to protect the vulnerable Uberturbine wheels fitted to Model Y 2020-2024 cars. The reviewer found the biggest reason to buy is its full-coverage design that prevents curb rash and edge scratches without tools or permanent modification. For Model Y owners who park in tight urban spaces, drive on rough roads, or want to keep resale condition intact, this product delivers obvious day-to-day protection and a tidy visual upgrade.

Key Features

• Full coverage protection: The rings provide complete coverage around the wheel lip to reduce curb rash and edge scratches during tight turns or parking maneuvers.
• Exact fit for Model Y 21 in: Designed from a 1:1 mold to match Tesla's original 21 in Uberturbine wheels for Model Y 2020-2024, ensuring correct alignment with the air valve and clip points.
• Durable ABS construction: Made from non-toxic, odorless ABS plastic that resists UV, heat, and road debris so the rings keep their shape and finish across seasons.
• Matte black finish: The low-gloss styling blends with the wheel for a streamlined, high-performance look that hides scuffs and matches factory color tones.
• Tool-free snap-on install: Installation is a simple DIY process using the included foam strip and snap clips, so no specialist tools or installers are required.
• Set of four: Supplied as a complete set for all wheels so owners can protect the entire car in one purchase.

Who It's For

The Tesla Rim Protector Model Y 21 in is best for Model Y owners (years 2020-2024) who drive in urban environments, park close to curbs, or tackle occasional rough surfaces and want an easy, reversible way to prevent curb rash. It is also a good option for new drivers or anyone preparing a vehicle for resale who needs to keep wheels looking like-new.

It is not suitable for Model Y vehicles updated in 2025 with the Juniper wheel change, nor for owners who need heavy-duty metal guards for extreme off-road use. Buyers should confirm their rim is the 21 in Uberturbine model by checking the tire sidewall before purchase.
