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.

Been riding with these coilovers for a year now on my 2020 Model 3 which is my daily driver car from home to work. I have a 2 inch drop with medium damping settings, makes the car handle and feel like a true high performance luxury vehicle. Thank you Kirk and UP team!
