Unplugged Performance® has announced the release of the UP Forged CYBRNOVA, a premium wheel engineered exclusively for the Tesla Cybertruck. The new wheel combines a modern, cyber-inspired aesthetic with a design inspired by the power of a supernova. Each CYBRNOVA wheel is precision forged for maximum strength and is styled to perfectly complement the Cybertruck’s distinct stainless steel exterior, requiring no spacers for a seamless fit.
Key Highlights
- Constructed from forged 6061-T6 aerospace-grade aluminum for exceptional strength and toughness.
- Features a heavy-duty design with a 3,195 lb (1,450 kg) load rating per wheel.
- Designed with aerodynamic flat-faced spokes and a mid-spoke reinforcement ring for added support under load.
- Offers a precise fit for all Tesla Cybertruck trim levels, including the Cyberbeast, All-Wheel Drive, and Long Range, without needing spacers.
- Engineered with pocket-milled spokes to reduce rotational mass and improve performance.
Design and Inspiration
The CYBRNOVA wheel’s design is inspired by the outward blast wave of a supernova. This concept is reflected in its radially bolstered structure, which creates a unique and powerful appearance. A mid-spoke reinforcement ring echoes the circular shock front of a supernova while bracing each spoke under load. The wheel’s aerodynamic flat-faced profile is engineered to help reduce turbulence at higher speeds. Furthermore, the multi-layered, nine-spoke pattern mirrors the straight-edged design language of the Cybertruck, resulting in a cohesive and futuristic brutalist look.
Construction and Performance
The UP Forged CYBRNOVA is a fully forged wheel, crafted from a single piece of 6061-T6 aluminum for superior strength. To optimize performance, engineers incorporated pocket-milled relief points behind each spoke. This process removes unnecessary material, lowering the wheel’s overall weight and reducing unsprung mass compared to similar designs. The result is a wheel that maintains exceptional strength for extreme use cases while providing a lightweight solution for off-road applications. For owners looking to further decrease unsprung mass, the wheels can be paired with Unplugged Performance’s lightweight titanium lug nuts.
Fitment, Finishes, and Pricing
The CYBRNOVA is offered in a single 24×9.5-inch fitment, which has been tested and engineered to provide a perfect fit for the Cybertruck. Unplugged Performance recommends tire pairings such as the Nitto Recon Grappler 295/45R24 for range-focused builds or a larger 315/45R24-sized tire for a more aggressive stance.1 The wheel is available in three standard finishes: Satin Bronze, Satin Black, and Satin Titanium.
The all-new UP Forged CYBRNOVA wheel set has an MSRP of $7,195.00. It is available for purchase now through the Unplugged Performance website, with initial deliveries slated to begin in the second part of September. The wheels include a UP logo center cap and all necessary hardware.
