Unplugged Performance, a leading name in Tesla modifications, has launched a new set of 24-inch forged wheels designed exclusively for the Tesla Cybertruck. These wheels, known as the Cybrdisc are crafted to replace the factory plastic covers with a more premium and stylish alternative. The Cybrdisc wheels are not just about looks; they are engineered to enhance the Cybertruck’s aesthetic appeal while maintaining its robust performance capabilities.
The Cybrdisc wheels are a testament to Unplugged Performance’s commitment to innovation and luxury. Each wheel is forged from 6061-T6 aluminum ensuring durability and strength. The design is inspired by the retrofuturistic full-disc face of 1970s wedge cars and the iconic vinyl-record look of the disco era. This unique design element gives the Cybertruck a distinctive and eye-catching appearance.
The Engineering Behind the Cybrdisc Wheels
The Cybrdisc wheels are not just about aesthetics; they are built to handle the demands of the Tesla Cybertruck. Each wheel has a remarkable load rating of 3,196 pounds ensuring they can withstand the weight and torque of the electric pickup. The disc-style face of the wheels is designed to smooth airflow along the sides of the Cybertruck, improving aerodynamics compared to traditional multi-spoke wheels.
The wheels are available in three finishes: Gloss Black with machined silver logo and polished edgesSatin Black and Full Polished. They can be wrapped in either 295/45 tires or 315/45 rubber allowing owners to customize their Cybertruck’s on-road and off-road presence. However, the weight of these wheels is not specified, leading to speculation that they might be on the heavier side.
Pricing and Availability
A set of four Cybrdisc wheels starts at $7,195 for the Gloss Black and Satin Black options, while the Full Polished finish costs $7,995. For those looking to offset the cost, Unplugged Performance offers a $1,000 rebate for trading in factory wheels. This pricing places the Cybrdisc wheels in the luxury segment, catering to Cybertruck owners who are willing to invest in premium upgrades.
Despite the high price tag, the Cybrdisc wheels have garnered positive feedback from the Cybertruck community. Owners appreciate the unique design and the premium feel these wheels bring to their vehicles. However, some have expressed concerns about the lack of smaller-diameter options and the potential impact on range and comfort due to the added weight.
Community Reactions and Future Expectations
The introduction of the Cybrdisc wheels has sparked a variety of reactions within the Cybertruck community. Some owners have praised the wheels for their striking appearance and the way they elevate the Cybertruck’s look. Others have questioned the practicality of 24-inch wheels, especially for off-road use, and have expressed a desire for smaller-diameter options in the future.
Unplugged Performance has acknowledged these concerns and has indicated that they are considering smaller-diameter options for future releases. This responsiveness to customer feedback highlights the company’s commitment to meeting the diverse needs of Cybertruck owners. As the Cybertruck continues to gain popularity, the demand for high-quality aftermarket parts like the Cybrdisc wheels is expected to grow, further solidifying Unplugged Performance’s position as a leader in Tesla modifications.
