Innovation Realized: The Journey of Tesla Model Y CYBRHEX Forged Wheels
The origin story of the CYBRHEX design traces back to the 2007 “Pharaoh’ ‘concept car by Sasha, years before his renowned work with leading supercar brands. During a late-night conversation, Sasha shared some of his old concept car sketches with UP Co-Founder and CEO, Ben Schaffer. Ben was immediately captivated by the timeless design and presence of the Pharaoh.
“There’s a shared quality of timelessness with both the Pharaoh concept and the Cybertruck. The 70’s inspired wedge design in both cases represents a visual that would be equally appropriate inserted in scenes from the 1970s, the 2000s, or even a hundred years into the future. This design aesthetic also would be equally appropriate on earth or roaming the surface of other planets. A desire to push the limits of design, and a shared passion for the art of making exciting cars inspired our collaboration to turn the concept into reality.” – Ben Schaffer
Following this conversation, we meticulously engineered this timeless wheel design concept from Sasha’s 2007 ideation into a high-performance, rugged option machined from forged 6061-T6 billet aluminum. In person, the wheel delivers a visual trick, appearing as if it’s CGI in real life—a similar reaction fans have when seeing the Cybertruck for the first time.
“It is fantastic to see the return of brutalist “wedge” shapes to car design. Pioneered in the 1970s by the great Italian design masters, this form language always looked towards the future and towards space exploration in particular. My 2007 Pharaoh sketches (pictured below) were inspired by that era in car design. I am thrilled to have contributed to Unplugged Performance’s new CYBRHEX wheel.” – Sasha Selipanov
This unique design evolution makes the CYBRHEX wheels an outstanding addition to the Tesla Model Y, providing both a visual and performance upgrade that honors its futuristic approach.
Transform Your Model Y with a Visionary Edge
Hexagonal Center Caps
One of the most striking features of the CYBRHEX wheel is its hexagonal center caps. The unique design offers added protection and security for your wheels, ensuring they stay firmly in place and look great when you’re parked..
Advanced Anti-Slip Knurling Technology
Taking inspiration from the pinnacle of motorsport engineering, F1, the CYBRHEX wheels incorporate advanced anti-slip knurling within the barrel. Engineered to prevent tire slippage when you’re tackling off-road trails or pushing your Tesla Model Y to its limits on the road, this feature ensures superior grip and handling, providing you with confidence and control no matter the terrain.
Precision Fitment for All Model Y Years
Our dedication to quality and performance is reflected in our commitment to perfect fitment for every Tesla Model Y. Each CYBRHEX wheel is meticulously crafted to meet the exact specifications of your vehicle, guaranteeing a seamless fit and optimal performance.
Quality and Durability
At the core of the CYBRHEX wheel design is a focus on uncompromising quality and durability. Made from forged 6061-T6 billet aluminum, these wheels are built to withstand the rigors of both everyday driving and high-performance scenarios.
KEY TAKEAWAYS FOR THE UNPLUGGED PERFORMANCE CYBRHEX WHEELS
- Designed in collaboration with famed supercar designer Sasha Selipanov and featuring his iconic “Sash!” signature engraved on the barrel
- Produced in lightweight forged 6061-T6 aerospace-grade aluminum for superior strength and over-engineered for the rigorous Cybertruck use
- 20″& 21″ inch applications are initially available
- Unique hexagonal centercap
- Anti-slip knurling, an F1 race car technology, designed to reduce tire slip
- Designed & accepts factory Tesla TPMS, lug nuts, and fits all center Tesla center bores
- We guarantee wheel fitment on all applications without rubbing/interference when paired with standard Tesla tire sizes and without added spacers or further modifications.
- We do not advise spacers as the width and offset is already engineered to be appropriately sporty as an OEM+ type fitment. Spacers with stud extenders may interfere with the multi-drilled backpad of the wheel and we cannot guarantee aftermarket spacer support.
- Note: for those who choose the Gloss Black/Machined 2-tone finish, the Machined sections are left with the raw machined look and may show lines and other markings from the machining process.
The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.
Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only.

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well.
For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at
