Ultra Red Tesla Model 3 Performance Gets Unplugged Performance UP-05 Wheels

Unplugged Performance has been at the point of the pack in Tesla tuning for a while, and their recent release, an Italian supercar DNA-infused wheel isn’t far off from one of the best offerings for any Tesla platform

This gorgeous Ultra Red Model 3 Performance may not boast all the design upgrades from the Highland, but it sure comes off as one of the cleanest & nicest-looking M3s out there. Featuring a gorgeous Ultra Red wrap added by Bulletproof Auto Spa, this electric vehicle boasts almost the entire Unplugged Performance exterior, interior, and performance catalog, topped off with their newest wheel design: the UP-05 lightweight forged wheels. This is a Model 3 Performance that will turn heads anywhere it goes, but it will also be a beast both on and off the track – something we’ve grown accustomed to seeing on EVs.

The UP-05 Forged Wheels

The UP-05 wheels are designed by acclaimed automotive designer Sasha Selipanov. At the core of the UP-05 lies a timeless Y-spoke design carefully engineered to radiate elegance and power on the road. Each spoke is a testament to Selipanov’s mastery, harmoniously blending style and functionality to create a wheel that catches the eye and optimizes your Model 3’s performance through its lightweight and incredibly strong forged aluminum construction. Each UP-05 is engraved with Sasha’s “Sash!” – a nice touch that wheel nuts will certainly appreciate.

Thanks to its 6061-T6 forged aluminum construction, the UP-05 wheels offer a remarkable lightweight solution for performance and weight-oriented customers, something that owners of electric vehicles like the Model 3 will appreciate. However, even though these are lightweight, they are also engineered and designed to be uncompromising when strength and durability are concerned.

The engineering excellence of this wheel extends beyond its design, with features tailored for seamless integration with your Tesla Model 3. The wheels are compatible with OEM Tesla center caps, lug nuts, and TPMS sensors, ensuring seamless integration with your Tesla.

A testament to UP-05 strength and durability can also be pointed to the knurled wheel bead design. The result is a wheel that mitigates the risk of the wheel slipping within the tire during heavy acceleration on the track, or street. Available in 19, 20, or 21″ sizes and various finishes, customers will be able to choose the best-fitting set of wheels for their car. And in the case of James, the owner of this beautiful Model 3 Performance, the result is a staggeringly beautiful Model 3.

This Ultra Red Model 3 features UP-05 wheels sized 20×9.5 in the front and 20×9.5 in the rear, a perfectly square setup that offers impressive traction and grip. Furthermore, the wheels come finished in a Satin Black finish, contrasting the red exterior finish and the red Unplugged Performance Iron Big Brake Kit (BBK) calipers perfectly. The wheels are adorned with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires, sized 275/30/20 in the front and 275/30/20 in the rear, affording impressive grip and handling.

The aftermarket parts that set this Tesla Model 3 apart from the rest

While the wheels may be the first thing you notice whilst looking at this Model 3, this car also features a bevy of other aftermarket upgrades. The Unplugged Performance front fascia system enhances the front part of the vehicle, followed by a rear bumper system with a diffuser, and a rear aero wing – all made out of pre-preg carbon fiber. The wheels hide a set of Stainless Steel Big Brake Kit (BBK) monstrosities that stop this Model 3 at an eye-popping speed. Add a full custom Alcantara interior, and this Model 3 is one of the most complete builds we’ve seen to date.
