Tesla Model X / Model X Plaid – UP CYBRHEX Forged Wheels (Set of 4)

From Concept to Reality: The Birth of Tesla Model X CYBRHEX Forged Wheels

The CYBRHEX Forged Wheel was developed through a partnership with Sasha Selipanov, an accomplished sports designer whose work can be seen on brands like Lamborghini, Koenigsegg, Bugatti, and other luxury exotic brands. The CYBRHEX design traces its origins back to a 2007 concept Selipanov envisioned as “basically a Lamborghini Cybertruck with a Chiron rear,” which he referenced as the ‘Pharaoh.’

We took this visionary design concept from Sasha and transformed it into a high-performance, rugged wheel option, machined out of forged 6061-T6 billet aluminum for the Cybertruck. Once we had the wheels in our possession, we couldn’t help but notice that the CYBRHEX wheel embodies a visual trickery that makes it appear like CGI brought to life – much like the first impression many have when witnessing the Cybertruck in person.

Given its brutalist nature design, we decided that this wheel is perfect for the Tesla Model X. By integrating the spirit of the Cybertruck into your Model X, you’re not just upgrading your vehicle; you’re making a statement of forward-thinking design and hypercar DNA.

In the words of Sasha, “It is fantastic to see the return of brutalist “wedge” shapes to car design. Pioneered in the 1970s by the great Italian design masters this form language always looked towards the future and towards space exploration in particular. My 2007 Pharaoh sketches (pictured below) were inspired by that era in car design, I am thrilled to have contributed to Unplugged Performance’s new CYBRHEX wheel.” – Sasha Selipanov

Going from design concept to reality has a long list of steps along the way. Over the years that followed Unplugged Performance & Sasha’s initial ideas, we’ve collectively tackled major engineering and production challenges to bring such a unique shape to market and make it applicable to any driving conditions and environments (Mars included).

Explore the CYBRHEX: Redefining Your Model X with Futuristic Design

One of the standout engineering feats of the CYBRHEX wheel is its unique hexagonal center caps. These are not just for aesthetic appeal; they provide an aerodynamic advantage, enhancing your vehicle’s performance while also offering added protection and security for your wheels.

Incorporating advanced technology, we’ve integrated anti-slip knurling within the barrel of the wheel. This is a technology borrowed from Formula 1, designed to prevent your tires from slipping, especially during off-road adventures or under extreme driving conditions. This ensures that your Model X maintains superior grip and handling, no matter the terrain.

Additionally, our commitment to quality and performance extends to ensuring perfect wheel fitment for all Model X years. Each CYBRHEX wheel is crafted with precision to meet the exact specifications required, guaranteeing a seamless fit and optimal performance for your Tesla Model X.

KEY TAKEAWAYS FOR THE UNPLUGGED PERFORMANCE CYBRHEX WHEELS

• Designed in collaboration with famed supercar designer Sasha Selipanov and featuring his iconic “Sash!” signature engraved on the barrel
• Produced in lightweight forged 6061-T6 aerospace-grade aluminum for superior strength and over-engineered for the rigorous Cybertruck use
• 20″, 21″, and 22″ inch applications are initially available in fitments for all Tesla vehicles
• Unique hexagonal centercap
• Anti-slip knurling, an F1 race car technology, designed to reduce tire slip
• Designed & accepts factory Tesla TPMS and lug nuts
• We guarantee wheel fitment on all applications without rubbing/interference when paired with standard Tesla tire sizes and without added spacers or further modifications.
• We do not advise spacers as the width and offset is already engineered to be appropriately sporty as an OEM+ type fitment. Spacers with stud extenders may interfere with the multi-drilled backpad of the wheel and we cannot guarantee aftermarket spacer support.
• Note: for those who choose the Gloss Black/Machined 2-tone finish, the Machined sections are left with the raw machined look and may show lines and other markings from the machining process.
