by New ‘Indestructible’ Wheels for the Tesla Cybertruck
Unplugged Performance, known for its bold claims, has introduced an updated version of its Road Warrior wheels, specifically designed for the Tesla Cybertruck electric pickup. Previously, the firm declared its wheels for the Model 3 and Model Y as “the world’s first indestructible,” and has now focused on an even more robust construction for the powerful Cybertruck.
Key features of the new forged wheels include:
Technical Advantages and Design Features
While the original wheels for the Model 3 and Model Y had a load limit of 2094 pounds, the Cybertruck version has significantly increased this figure with a margin. The manufacturer claims improved resistance to bending, cracking, and material fatigue, although it does not repeat the loud “indestructible” definition.
The wheel design may not appeal to everyone, but one practical feature is noteworthy: the replaceable protective ring. It is designed to absorb all impacts during unsuccessful parking, and most importantly, it can be replaced without removing the tire from the wheel. This significantly simplifies and reduces the cost of repair in case of damage.
Target Audience and Purchase Conditions
The California-based tuner claims that the new wheels do not lag behind Tesla’s proprietary Core wheels in aerodynamics and surpass the standard Cybertruck wheels. They are designed for the stock 20-inch tires.
This product will likely interest owners who actively use their off-roader for off-road driving, or those who want to make their vehicle stand out. However, the choice is currently limited: the wheels are available in only one finish option—black spokes with a gray protective ring.
The cost of a set of four wheels is $3195. In the segment of forged wheels with such a high load limit, the price is expected. For many enthusiasts, the combination of strength, practicality, and exclusive design may justify such an investment.
The market for electric vehicle accessories, especially for iconic models like the Cybertruck, continues to develop actively. Offerings like the wheels from Unplugged Performance show that owners are looking not only for aesthetic improvements but also for solutions that increase the durability and functionality of the vehicle in extreme conditions. The increase in load-bearing characteristics is directly related to the mass and purpose of the pickup, making such upgrades a logical step for tuning ateliers.
