Q: Why run forged wheels on a Cybertruck instead of the factory cast ones?

Forged wheels are pressed under extreme heat and pressure, which compacts the aluminum grain into a denser, far stronger structure. Cast wheels like the Cybertruck’s factory set are poured into a mold, leaving microscopic voids that make them more brittle under load. On a truck this heavy that also puts down big torque, the forged UP-RW resists bending and fatigue far better, which is why it’s a durability investment rather than a style choice.
