BBS x Unplugged Performance Flugplatz Wheels

BBS x Unplugged Performance Flugplatz Wheels Revealed – Available for Model 3 and Model Y applications

Today, we’re proud to continue our longstanding partnership with BBS GmbH on our latest wheel the UP x BBS Flugplatz (FP). In 2020, we began Unplugged Performance Nürburgring operations and local manufacturing. In naming this wheel we pay homage to the iconic Flugplatz crest at the Nürburgring Nordschleife. The Flugplatz wheel is produced for UP by BBS Germany and is built for extreme strength to endure daily driven abuse and even going airborne at speed over Nürburgring’s Flugplatz crest. This section of the Nürburgring presents perhaps the most demanding section of any racetrack on earth for the structural integrity of a wheel as cars routinely launch off the crest before slamming back down onto the road surface.

This wheel is engineered and produced in Germany explicitly to take this punishment from heavy Tesla vehicles running on thin 20″ tires.

World-Class Quality
BBS’s reputation is second to none. From F1 to equipping the world’s fastest supercars, BBS is a world leader in quality and performance. BBS also happens to be the pioneer of flow-forming technology which they’ve been using and perfecting since their Ferrari F430 challenge wheels popularized the technology years ago.
The Flugplatz wheel utilizes BBS flow-forming technology to make an extremely strong and weight-optimized wheel that is built for a lifetime of daily driven abuse. These wheels are TÜV SÜD approved and tested beyond 2,000,000 load cycles and with a vehicle weight rating exceeding 6000lbs making them conservatively strong enough for even the largest SUVs. In destructive testing, a single wheel has exceeded 3800lbs of load.

Made Just For Tesla
When we approached BBS for a perfect daily driven wheel we developed this solution which is made exclusively for Tesla Model 3 and Model Y vehicles. Unlike most aftermarket wheels, these are sized perfectly for the application, accept factory TPMS sensors, Tesla factory lug nuts, and have Tesla correct center bore dimensions.

A True Partnership
Every set of wheels comes co-branded by BBS Germany and Unplugged Performance on the wheel and on the special UP x BBS center caps to represent this special continued collaboration.

Sized Right
From our experience of working with thousands of Model 3 and Model Y owners, we’ve selected the best sizing for a daily driven car. The Flugplatz sizing of 20×9+32 allows all factory 20” Tesla tires to be swapped over and fitted for both Model 3 and Model Y. The correct tire sizing range is 235 to 275 wide which also allows track enthusiasts to go up to 275 wide front and rear if desired. The Flugplatz is also designed to clear the UP BFB 6 piston big brake kits with 15.5” rotors.
