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.

A must to get with the coil overs installed on my model 3. I must admit that I was worried that they might stiffen up the chassis a little too much, but they did not. Highly recommended!

What a difference this sway bar made to my Model S Plaid. This helps correct the body roll the car has from the factory. I have much more confidence taking turns at a higher speed, and freeway on-ramps have become extremely fun. I would highly recommend upgrading your sway bar in the Model S!

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!
