Unplugged Performance has introduced the Forged UP-RW Cyber Road Warrior wheels for the Tesla Cybertruck, designed for enhanced durability and convenience. These wheels offer a higher load capacity and a replaceable curb-guard ring to prevent costly repairs from parking mishaps. They maintain the truck's efficiency without compromising aerodynamics.
Unplugged Performance, a California-based tuner, has released the Forged UP-RW Cyber Road Warrior wheels specifically engineered for the Tesla Cybertruck. Made from 6061-T6 aluminum, each wheel boasts a load capacity of 1,450 kg (3,196 lbs) per corner, surpassing the standard Cybertruck wheels' rating of approximately 1,140 kg. This upgrade provides better resistance to bending, cracking, and fatigue, making it suitable for off-roading or heavy use on a vehicle weighing over 3 tons.
A key feature is the replaceable aluminum curb-guard ring, which absorbs damage from curbs and can be swapped out without removing the tire. This addresses a common issue for owners, avoiding expensive full-wheel repairs. The wheels fit the stock 20-inch Cybertruck tires and are backed by a lifetime warranty covering cracks and bent rims.
Efficiency remains unaffected, as confirmed by tests on identical Cybertrucks over a desert route. The UP-RW wheels matched the aerodynamics of Tesla's Core wheels and outperformed the base configuration, ensuring no range penalty for prioritizing durability. Currently available only in black spokes with a gray curb guard, a full set costs $3,195, which aligns with expectations for high-spec forged wheels.
This development builds on Unplugged Performance's earlier Road Warrior wheels for the Model 3 and Model Y, previously touted as the 'world's first indestructible wheel' with a 950 kg rating. For Cybertruck owners seeking reliability and style, these wheels offer a practical enhancement without sacrificing the truck's performance.
