Swap the Cybertruck's factory wheel covers for HALOBLK HALODISC 2: pull the OEM covers, tape-protect the rims, install the center lock, mount and lock each disc, then compare Wh/mi. This 19 min guide covers the Tesla Cybertruck (factory wheels) with tools, parts links and the full video.

Overview

John replaces the Cybertruck's factory wheel covers with HALOBLK's HALODISC 2. The stock covers stick out past the tire, add drag, are a pain to pull (your hands get filthy) and had already scratched his rims. The HALODISC 2 comes well packaged with left/right center locks, protection tape and a spanner wrench. Each wheel takes about 30 seconds once the tape is on: the spring-loaded center lock clicks onto the wheel, you tighten it with the spanner, then the disc goes on hand tight (righty tighty, lefty loosey, marked on the part) with a satisfying lock click. The discs sit flush, so the tire now protects the wheel, and they cost less than replacing Tesla's covers. On similar mixed freeway/street drives he saw about 427 Wh/mi with the OEM covers versus about 379 Wh/mi with the HALODISCs, roughly an 11% improvement (not a controlled test).

Step by step

  1. 1

    Why replace the OEM covers▶ 0:24

    The factory Cybertruck covers poke out past the tire, add drag, and are messy to remove; John was tired of dealing with them on all four wheels.

  2. 2

    Unbox and sort parts▶ 2:22

    Everything is individually protected. Separate the center locks (left and right) and the covers, and find the spanner wrench and protection tape.

    Tip: Check the labels so each lock and disc goes on the correct side.

  3. 3

    Remove the OEM covers▶ 6:15

    Pull the factory covers off each wheel, then clean the wheel face before applying anything.

  4. 4

    Inspect and protect the rims▶ 7:20

    John's rims were already scratched by the factory covers. Apply the included protection tape / anti-friction pads where the disc contacts the wheel.

    Tip: Putting on the tape is the slowest part of the job.

  5. 5

    Install the center lock▶ 8:47

    Line up the spring-loaded center lock and push it in until its metal bars grab the wheel, then twist it tight with the spanner wrench. All locks turn the same direction.

  6. 6

    Mount and lock the HALODISC▶ 9:45

    Line the disc up and thread it on hand tight (righty tighty, lefty loosey; the direction is marked). It locks with a clear click. Repeat for all four wheels, about 30 seconds each.

  7. 7

    Check flush fitment▶ 13:58

    The discs sit flush, so the tire sidewall sticks out further and protects the wheel and cover from curbs.

  8. 8

    Compare efficiency▶ 17:03

    Reset a trip meter and drive a similar route. John saw about 427 Wh/mi with OEM covers vs. about 379 Wh/mi with the HALODISCs, roughly 11% better on a 50/50 freeway/street drive; he expects more at higher freeway speeds.

0:51So when you see, another cyber truck rolling on the road and you're like how the there's this guy allowing

0:57allowing you to this now if you don't see

1:02Right now,

1:21What happens to your hands they get nasty and then I did that for all four wheels. It's a pain

1:28I'm tired of it time for some halo disc

1:32Now

1:52But well, so that does is it makes it so they're not very efficient I

1:58I, think they're a little bit

2:23Saying that these wheels are gonna offer up., I

2:28More efficiency,

2:30Which I believe them

2:3210% a lot

2:33But I think if if you go high speeds then you'll definitely

2:37Capture that 10%

2:38The unboxinge tight, it looks like kind of like a macer on set

2:45Mix with like a PC unboxing

2:48They package everything nicely nothing's gonna

2:52Get damaged, these have like a nice metallic red finish to them if you're looking at them in the

3:00And then they come in different colors I chose red you can get black

3:05f

3:14And then- different sets

3:16of center locks, center lock right center lock left

3:23, H2 H1 H1 H2 most likely because- these are the before they drop the cyber truck halo blocks officially

3:28So I think these are going to be more for

3:31They're only package differently in my instance, they're not officially out yet

3:47Tool

3:49If your car has center locks or center caps

3:53These will pop off the center caps. The cyber truck doesn't need them and

3:53These will pop off the center caps the cyber truck doesn't need them and they're here another

3:58Rallon wrench

4:00This is a cool design right here

4:03for

4:28Tesla's just which I might give a shot and then it looks like a real protection tape

4:34Make sure

4:58This is a double adhesive tape it looks like it's just a tape to protect the protect the

5:05wheels from the wheels

5:08Halo Blacks- possibly a H1 H1 H1 H1

5:12H2 H1 H1 H1 H1 H1 H1 H

5:37The back wheels are going to be

5:46on the cyber truck wheels package. Nicely each wheel is protected and then we'll get to the back wheels

6:00some of these mods. So clean the cyber truck to, to apply that and he said all

6:08you have to do is

7:09Ieil I mean, I guess I could always get some lug all will will locks but it's not that big

7:43match up the wheels now I already put some of the anti friction on here the halo black

7:57and it's just a it's not a double-adhesive layer so you

8:29can,

8:34as you could see these wheels already scratched up from the factory. And these

8:38are

9:03metal spring loaded you push it in and then it sees metal bars onto the wheel nice and tight

9:14tight use the spanner wrench and then you twist it locked unlike the other Tesla locks for the

9:29cyber truck it's all going to one direction unit directional so you don't have to worry

9:37a little bit about, but it's all going to be the same the way you walk it, so after you get that nice and tight,, go ahead and put this bad boy on, this guy on, hand tight, righty tidy, lefty loosey even shows you direction, righty tidy, lefty loosey, make it full proof, feels nice and

10:38walk tight in nut per, per I added protection, some redundancy in safety. Tesla really does need a higher the halo black team to design

10:51the hub. C you could tell a just dealing with

10:56Cy鵅 truck and I think they fired the original guy the

11:00CyBer truck arrow covers and then.

11:05being with haloed block you can tell that there's definitely

11:08better quality

11:10satisfying very satisfying lock sound and there you

11:19go literally took like 30

11:21seconds to put this bad boy on the hardest part was

11:22putting on the tape and if you have the side truck

11:25getting scratched up all right all four of the halo block

11:30halo of

11:32disis it's, that was and and pictures they do not do these guys

11:40and just this and pictures and video I would say actually

11:44it just looks like more of a flat design that you get from most

11:50this metallic finish up,

11:55of the centers lock

11:57and some of the depth right here with the spine and then some

12:04of the venting on the outside really make it look a little bit

12:07of a little bit bigger than or more concave than it actually

12:11is I the

12:13I, I, I think I, I'll do a quick one to measure the stock

12:16Tesla Cybert and then you use it from the stock

12:47got it dialed in the Cybertruck no more worrying having to worry

12:57about my

13:01hubcats popping the stock wheel covers they stick out more, more

13:08there for increasing drag but they also poke the sidewalk

13:11so when I'm trying and

13:13tight spot I definitely have to pay attention to not

13:18curb the wheels as if they were a sports car with low pro tires

13:22but now as you can see from the tires theys they poke further

13:27disc therefore protecting the wheels and the disc but if

13:32but if I do scratch these guys it's not going to be the worst

13:36thing aecause they are cheaper surprisingly than the Tesla the Tesla

13:40shitty hub

13:57there we got the Cybertruck auto summoning you over to me

14:03check out these wheels super,

14:08alright we got the

17:07the range battery the energy consumption,

17:09data coming back with halo blacks now this is not going

17:14to be completely

17:16there are some variables to change but what I did was in the

17:20morning set up this new trip and that was with the

17:27cybertruck wheel covers and an average of 27

17:32watt hours per mile and then this trip we're still on our

17:36way home but in terms of a watt hour per mile basis it's

17:42around 379 watt hours per mile so very similar drives

17:48similar commutes I just want to go pick up the kids and back

17:54and then at the same so that's quite a big range difference

17:59let's ask grok what that percentage difference is my trip this

18:05morning was 427 watt hours per mile my trip this afternoon

18:10was 37

18:15the percentage decrease was that in terms of what hours per mile

18:20your afternoon, your efficiency,

18:22by 48 watt hours per mile that that's roughly an 11

18:29that's crazy and that's not going that fast either so if

18:32you go if you go maybe 90 miles per hour 80 miles per hour on

18:38a freeway this is about 50 percent freeway 50 percent street

18:43you're gonna even see a bigger decrease and this is

18:46just with a difference in wheel covers
