Q: What kind of construction do Unplugged Performance wheels have?

Unplugged Performance wheels are expertly crafted using 6061-T6 forged aluminum, a high-strength, aerospace-grade alloy known for its exceptional durability and lightweight properties. The forging process compresses the aluminum under extreme pressure, resulting in a wheel that is significantly stronger and more fatigue-resistant than cast alternatives, while maintaining a lighter weight for improved vehicle handling and efficiency. Each wheel undergoes rigorous quality control and testing, including stress analysis, impact resistance, and durability assessments, to ensure they meet or exceed industry safety standards. The precise manufacturing process also allows for intricate designs without compromising structural integrity. This combination of advanced materials, forging technology, and thorough testing results in wheels that provide superior performance, enhanced strength, and reduced unsprung weight, making them ideal for range conscious EV owners, daily drivers & high-performance focused Tesla vehicles seeking both style and track-ready reliability.

My Model Y now handles so much better after adding these sway bars! What a great bang for your buck upgrade- really made a huge difference. Never loved how the Model Y handled in corners (especially the newer suspension on the 2022) and this solved the problem. Car stays so much flatter in corners...

I installed this sway bar today. I was shocked by the outcome in terms of handling.
