HALODISC Center-Lock System: Designed for Tesla

Tesla’s Wheel Covers: A Masterclass in Industrial Design

From the very beginning of HALODISC, we noticed something fascinating: Tesla’s wheel covers represent a masterclass in industrial design. Because efficiency is critical for EVs, Tesla engineers had already optimized aerodynamics across the vehicle body. Achieving even better results would have required significantly higher costs. That’s when engineers turned their attention to the wheels.

However, manufacturing fully enclosed wheels directly out of metal would drastically increase unsprung weight, negating any aerodynamic gains and violating Tesla’s principle of first-principles efficiency in production. The solution? Wheel covers made from lightweight plastic and nylon — a brilliant decision that balanced aerodynamics, manufacturing efficiency, and cost. 

The Problem of Individuality

As Tesla sales soared past 1.5 million cars annually, a new problem emerged: parking lots around the world began to look identical. Owners often found themselves wandering for 5–10 minutes trying to locate their own car among a sea of Teslas. While humorous, it revealed a deeper truth: individuality was missing.

The Spark Behind HALOBLK

This sparked the idea behind HALOBLK: what if every Tesla could look different? Much like Nike’s Air Force 1s — the same shoe, but available in countless colors, collaborations, and limited editions — we envisioned wheel covers that could transform a Tesla into something truly personal.

But there was a challenge.

If HALOBLK simply copied Tesla’s clip-on cover design, we would face the same inefficiency. Each Tesla model and wheel size would require its own unique mold, drastically slowing production and pushing costs onto consumers — the exact problem Tesla worked so hard to avoid. We needed a smarter way, one rooted in modular efficiency.

The HALODISC Center-Lock Solution

The solution became our patented HALODISC Center-Lock System. With a single hub component, HALODISC can seamlessly fit nearly every Tesla model.

This modular approach not only boosts production efficiency but also benefits the customer: when the faceplate is scratched or a new design is released, owners only need to purchase the outer disc — not the entire locking system again. A true win-win.

Inspired by Tesla, Driven by Innovation

Tesla’s philosophy of first-principles design has been a guiding inspiration for us, pushing HALOBLK to create innovations that merge efficiency, sustainability, and individuality.

The HALODISC is more than a wheel cover — it’s a modular design solution that evolves with your car and your personality.

Our Commitment

At HALOBLK, we will continue to deliver cutting-edge products that improve efficiency and unlock self-expression for every driver.

Together, let’s give your car a new pair of shoes — and Drive Different.
