Unplugged Performance just dropped a set of forged 24-inch wheels for the Tesla Cybertruck that look like oversized vinyl records from a 1970s hi-fi fever dream. They cost $7,195. For wheels.
The California-based Tesla tuner calls them Cybrdisc, and they’re forged from 6061-T6 aluminum with a full-disc face inspired by the wedge cars and grooved vinyl aesthetic of the disco era. Concentric circles radiate outward from a polished center, replacing the Cybertruck’s factory wheels and their notoriously cheap-looking plastic aero covers. In Gloss Black, Satin Black, or Full Polished finish — the latter bumping the price to $7,995 — these are undeniably more premium than what Tesla bolts on at the factory.
Each wheel measures 24 by 9.5 inches and carries a load rating of 3,196 pounds, comfortably exceeding what the Cybertruck demands in normal use. Tire options include 295/45 or 315/45 rubber, depending on whether the owner wants a street stance or something with a little more off-road swagger.
Unplugged won’t say what each wheel weighs, and that silence speaks volumes. A forged 24-inch full-disc wheel in 6061-T6 aluminum is not going to be featherweight. On a truck that already tips the scales north of 6,600 pounds and drains its battery pack fighting its own mass, adding unsprung weight at the corners is a curious trade-off for aesthetics.
The company does note that the disc face smooths airflow along the Cybertruck’s flanks compared to traditional multi-spoke designs, which is a fair aerodynamic argument. How much real-world range that recovers on a wheel this size is anyone’s guess.
Unplugged Performance has built a legitimate business as the go-to Tesla aftermarket shop, offering everything from suspension kits to body panels. Its $18,000 Cybertruck package already addresses some of the truck’s most glaring factory shortcomings. The Cybrdisc wheels are a different proposition: pure style play for owners who want their stainless-steel slab to look like it rolled off the set of a Burt Reynolds movie.
A $1,000 trade-in rebate on factory wheels softens the blow slightly, bringing the entry price to $6,195 if you’re willing to part with your OEM set. That’s still north of what most truck owners spend on a full wheel-and-tire package from reputable brands.
The deeper irony here is that the Cybertruck aftermarket is thriving even as the truck itself struggles commercially. Sales have fallen well short of the targets Elon Musk once dangled, and the vehicle remains polarizing in ways that make it simultaneously one of the most recognizable and most mocked machines on the road. Yet a committed core of owners keeps spending — on wraps, on accessories, on $7,000 wheels that reference an era most of them never lived through.
Unplugged knows its audience. These aren’t volume sellers. They’re margin plays aimed at enthusiasts who already spent $80,000 or more on a truck that divides every parking lot it enters. Another seven grand to make it look like a rolling turntable? For that buyer, it’s not even a question.
Whether the Cybrdisc wheels are brilliant design or expensive absurdity depends entirely on which side of the Cybertruck divide you stand. Unplugged Performance keeps finding ways to extract serious money from a customer base that treats their truck less like transportation and more like a lifestyle statement. In that narrow lane, business is good.
