Tesla Model Y UP-03 Lightweight Forged Wheels (Set of 4)

The Most Proven Aftermarket Wheel Ever Built for Tesla

The UP-03 is not just Unplugged Performance’s best-selling wheel. It is the most race-tested, real-world-validated aftermarket wheel available for the Tesla Model Y. Since its introduction, the UP-03 has built a record of durability that no other Tesla wheel on the market can match. To this day, Unplugged Performance has never received a single report of a bent UP-03. Not on the street. Not on the track. Not in off-road conditions that would compromise lesser wheels. That durability was not achieved by over-building a heavy wheel. It was achieved through engineering.

Forged From the Strongest Aluminum

Every UP-03 is forged from 6061-T6 aluminum, the same material grade used in aerospace structural applications where failure is not an option. The forging process compresses the grain structure of the aluminum under extreme pressure, producing a wheel that is fundamentally denser and stronger than any cast or flow-formed alternative at a given weight. The result is a wheel that starts at just 18.8 pounds in the 18×9 configuration and still carries a load rating of 1,984 pounds per wheel, more than enough to handle the weight of a fully loaded Model Y without stress.

The I-beam spoke architecture further eliminates flex under cornering and braking loads, maintaining true wheel geometry where cast and flow-formed designs would deflect. Combined with a knurled inner barrel that reduces tire slip during hard acceleration and drag strip launches, the UP-03 is built for every force a performance-driven Tesla owner can throw at it.

Proven at the Highest Levels of Motorsport

The UP-03 was born on the racetrack and continues to set records on it. Unplugged Performance’s “Dark Helmet” Tesla Model S Plaid completed the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb in 9:54.901 on UP-03 Pikes Peak Spec wheels, finishing 10th overall and earning a place in the prestigious Fast 15. At Laguna Seca, development driver Craig Coker pushed Dark Helmet to a 1:26.7 lap time on UP-03s, setting two new records at the GridLife finals. A Tesla Model Y running prototype Unplugged Performance suspension and forged UP-03 19×10.5 race spec wheels set the fastest SUV lap record at Buttonwillow Raceway, posting a 2:01.9 that was faster than a Corvette Grand Sport and within half a second of a Porsche 911 GT3. And at Japan’s legendary Tsukuba Circuit, an Unplugged Performance Model 3 beat the lap time of a McLaren F1 on its record-breaking run.

From Pikes Peak to Tsukuba, from Laguna Seca to Buttonwillow, the UP-03 has been on the car every time Unplugged Performance has gone out and rewritten what a Tesla is capable of.

One Wheel, Every Application

What makes the UP-03 unique in the aftermarket is the sheer range of fitments available under a single design. The 18×9 +20 offset is purpose-built for off-road use with room for aggressive all-terrain rubber. The 18×9 and 19×9 in +33 offset are range-optimized configurations that reduce rotating mass and improve energy efficiency for daily drivers who want the lightest possible setup. The 19×9.5 and 20×9.5 in +35 deliver an OEM+ fitment that fills the wheel wells cleanly without rubbing or modification. And the 10.5-wide options in +40 offset across 19″, 20″, and 21″ diameters deliver an aggressive, staggered stance for owners who want maximum tire width and visual presence.

No matter which configuration you choose, every UP-03 is available in Gloss Black, Satin Black, Satin Bronze, Satin Titanium, or a fully custom finish built to your exact specification. Each wheel accepts factory Model Y center caps and is engineered specifically for Tesla TPMS adapters, so the integration is seamless.

Built for the Model Y, All Generations

The UP-03 fits every Tesla Model Y produced from 2020 through 2025 and is fully compatible with the 2026+ Juniper refresh. These wheels bolt on with factory-precise hub-centric fitment and work with your existing Tesla TPMS sensors through a dedicated adapter. Unplugged Performance also offers a limited-time trade-in rebate program for owners who want to swap their factory wheels, with rebates up to $1,000 for qualifying trade-ins.

When a wheel has been trusted to carry a race car up Pikes Peak, hold together through consecutive record laps at Laguna Seca, and survive daily driving without a single reported bend, the question is not whether you need it. The question is which fitment suits your Model Y best.
