Product Details
The UP Forged UP-03 wheel from Unplugged Performance is engineered to exceed every wheel expectation for Tesla Model X owners. With a legacy forged on racetracks and brutal real-world conditions, the UP-03 is the most sought-after forged wheel on the market — a true testament to engineering excellence and motorsport heritage. Unlike factory wheels, which are often cast and heavier, the UP-03 wheels are forged from aerospace-grade 6061-T6 aluminum, delivering superior mechanical properties that holistically bring performance and longevity together nicely.
Things That Matter:
- Weight Savings: Compared to Tesla factory wheels, which can be significantly heavier due to cast manufacturing, the UP-03 wheels save substantial unsprung weight. On a heavy vehicle like the Model X—often exceeding 6,000 pounds—reducing wheel weight directly impacts acceleration, braking, and handling. Less rotational mass means the motor and brakes don’t have to work as hard, improving responsiveness and extending your brake pad’s life.
- Load Rating & Strength: The UP-03 wheels boast a remarkable 950kg (over 2,094 lbs) load rating per wheel, ensuring they can withstand the immense stresses of high-speed acceleration, cornering forces, and even off-road abuse. The super-strong I-beam spoke design eliminates wheel flex, providing unmatched stability and confidence during aggressive driving or track use.
- Design Features: A knurled barrel surface reduces tire slip during hard launches or drag racing scenarios, a detail we often see absent from factory wheels.
- Fitment specific for the Tesla Model X: Precise engineering guarantees perfect fitment to Model X center bore, brakes, TPMS, and Tesla lug nuts, so installation is seamless and reliable.
Motorsport Proven
The UP-03’s motorsport pedigree is unrivaled. Developed through countless hours of global track testing, time attack events, and racing competitions, these wheels have helped Unplugged Performance set track records and win trophies around the world.

Are tires included with the UP-03 Lightweight set?
No, this is a four-wheel set sold without tires. Once diameter, fitment, and finish are settled, tires are fitted separately, and four TPMS sensors can be added as an option. If you would rather receive a complete setup mounted and balanced, our Model X UP-03 wheel and tire packages bundle the tires and sensors together. The bare set suits owners with tires already in hand.
What makes a lightweight forged wheel stronger than a cast one?
Forging compresses aerospace-grade aluminum under high pressure so the internal grain flows continuously, which resists cracking far better than the looser structure of a cast wheel. That is how UP-03 Lightweight can shed weight, starting from 21.05 pounds, and still take track abuse and pothole hits. A cast wheel would have to be heavier to approach the same strength, which defeats the purpose.
Which finishes are available for the UP-03 Lightweight?
You can order Gloss Black, Satin Black, Satin Bronze, and Satin Titanium, with a custom finish option available too. Black finishes look purposeful and hide brake dust, bronze adds a motorsport accent, and titanium is a subtle satin tone that works with most paint. The finish is cosmetic, so choose based on the look you want on your Model X.
Do these wheels pair well with a suspension upgrade?
They do. A lighter wheel and a better-controlled suspension work toward the same goal of a sharper, more planted Model X, so many owners fit them alongside a handling upgrade like the Model X Sports Dynamic air suspension lowering kit. Lowering the car also tucks the wheel more neatly into the arch for a cleaner stance. The two upgrades complement each other rather than overlap.
What sizes do the UP-03 Lightweight wheels come in?
Diameters run 20, 21, and 22 inch. Whichever you pick uses a +35 offset, staggered on a 9.5 front with a 10.5 rear or square on 10.5 corners, and the vehicle selector covers the 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid. A 20-inch keeps the most sidewall for rough roads, while a 22 gives the boldest stance, and the lightweight forged construction is identical across every size.
