Q: Do aftermarket wheels improve performance?
From the perspective of spirited driving, topics such as weight, size, and materials are often considered when optimizing for wheel performance. Reduction in rotational weight generally improves acceleration, braking, and cornering. From the perspective of efficiency, rotational weight reduction can improve overall vehicle efficiency, especially for city driving conditions. In either case, UP forged wheels are designed to exceed the factory Tesla wheel specifications in every category (weight, material, and strength). The majority of UP wheels are both CFD tested and range tested in the real world to ensure that UP Forged wheels are the best wheels on the market for Tesla vehicles, no matter the use case. Forged wheels not only offer an increased structural strength, but they often require far less wheel weights to balance a tire, which does affect rotational weight as well.

Had UP install the HD front bumper with the 11" LEDs. Robust steel construction, makes the truck look more aggressive but lines remain clean. This bumper is what Tesla should have equipped the truck with out of the factory! LEDs are super bright as well. Simply the best looking, best designed,...

Purchased a 19 x 9.5 UP-03 wheels. They look awesome, feel lighter when you're steering, and I'm able to gain 1-2 % of range when driving around town. Shahar helped me through the purchasing process and set me up with a relatively painless cross-border shipping arrangement. Keep up the good work!

I installed the Unplugged Performance UP INVINCIBLE® HD Rear Bumper with Hardcore Trailer Hitch Receiver on my Tesla Cybertruck, opting for rear rock sliders and LED flood lights, no swing arms. This thing is a beast! Built from tough A36 steel with a sleek black powder coat, it’s perfect for...

I love my Ascension Front Fascia System. It makes my Model 3 look much sportier, and with model 3s just about everywhere these days, it’s great to have my stand out from the crowd.

An absolutely must have product!
I have a 2021 Tesla Model Y Long Range and since the beginning could not stop noticing how rough the ride was. In the Bay Area the roads are ridiculously uneven and are in terrible conditions with bumps, potholes, uneven payments and much more on the roads leading...

I included these with my UP / BBS Flugplatz wheels purchase for my Model Y. The burnt titanium contrasts well with the matte finish of the rims (and other darker styles, I would guess). Overall adds to a clean look and smooth ride.

Excellent product! I installed mine as my first step into getting some more performance out of my M3P for Autocross. The front and rear sway bars along with some wider wheels and stickier tires really took my lap times to the next level. I would say, if you drive hard with these sway bars like I...

Such an underrated improvement to my car, reducing unsprung weight of each wheel rotating at speed, improves steering, cornering performance and very aesthetically pleasing! It's incredible how much lighter they are from the stock lug nuts, which feel like heavy weights after handling these titanium...

After ordering the springs I waited a bit because they were on back order. However they were worth the wait. I was afraid that the improved stance would compromise the ride, but it totally didn’t. The ride is improved and the look is perfect! Thank you Blake for the friendly service!

I love these brakes!, quiet, smooth, and never fade regardless of how aggressive I drive, after a few sessions at buttonwillow still strong, going to save so much money over replacing my iron brakes constantly (I went through 3 sets of pads and rotors tracking). Ultimate confidence that was...
