Q: Can UP Forged wheels affect my car’s performance?
Yes, wheels can impact performance in various ways. Lighter wheels can improve acceleration, braking and range, while heavier wheels can have the opposite effect. Additionally, wider wheels can enhance traction but may affect ride quality and handling, depending on the setup especially when stepping up to a larger diameter wheel and a tire with a smaller height sidewall.

Looks beautiful. Great job on the Carbon Fiber. Easy install. Just make sure the surface is clean and dry. Did a drive from Atlanta to Orlando. Noticeable efficiency change with the Diffuser and Spoiler. More range is always a good thing. If you’re the kind of driver with speed. The effects of...

Worth every penny. The iron BFB is one of my favorite things I’ve done to my car so far. Brakes are one of the most important things on a car and I notice such an improvement with these over stock brakes. On track I am able to brake much later into corners and the brakes have basically zero fade...

Really fixed my rear alignment problems. Lowered my car without it and had some slightly uneven tire wear. With 2 track days I even got 24,000 miles out of a single set of tires with perfectly even wear. This set will save you on tires after just one set, total no brainer for the price! Love being...

I purchased the Up03 wheel setup for my Model X Plaid in 20x10.5 square. Coming from the stock 22-inch wheels, there was a massive improvement in weight savings, and the car feels more responsive with superior ride quality. I’ve also noticed a significant increase in range. My sales rep, Kirk, was...
