The Tesla Cybertruck’s radical design presents a challenge for aftermarket companies: how do you complement something that already looks like it’s from the future? Unplugged Performance has answered that question with the launch of its new UP Forged CYBRNOVA Wheel, a premium wheel engineered to match the Cybertruck’s aesthetic and demanding performance needs.
Design Inspired by the Cosmos
The CYBRNOVA’s design is anything but ordinary. Unplugged Performance drew inspiration from the explosive power of a supernova, creating a radially bolstered, nine-spoke pattern that echoes a star’s outward blast wave. A distinctive mid-spoke reinforcement ring not only adds to the cyber-inspired look but also braces each spoke under heavy loads. The wheel’s flat-faced profile provides an aerodynamic advantage that reduces turbulence at speed. Its multi-layered, straight-edged design language creates a cohesive look, making the wheel appear as though its designers crafted it right alongside the Cybertruck.
The Strength of the UP Forged CYBRNOVA Wheel
Beneath the futuristic styling is serious engineering. The UP Forged CYBRNOVA Wheel is crafted from a single piece of forged 6061-T6 aerospace-grade aluminum, ensuring maximum strength for any scenario. To optimize performance, pocket-milled relief points behind each spoke remove excess material, reducing the wheel’s overall weight and critical unsprung mass. This results in a wheel with a heavy-duty load rating of 3,195 pounds that is also a lightweight solution for off-road use. The 24×9.5-inch wheels are designed as a direct fit for all Cybertruck trim levels, including the Cyberbeast, requiring no spacers for a perfect installation.
Fitment, Finishes, and Availability
Unplugged Performance offers the CYBRNOVA in three standard finishes: Satin Bronze, Satin Black, and Satin Titanium. The company recommends a 295/45R24 tire for owners focused on preserving range or a wider 315/45R24 for a more aggressive stance. Unplugged Performance prices the wheel set at $7,195, and customers can order it now directly from the company’s website. The company will begin shipping the wheels in the second half of September, offering Tesla Cybertruck owners a purpose-built upgrade that perfectly combines both strength and style.
