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.
