The Tesla Cybertruck rolled through the gates of Giga Texas with its stock 20-inch wheels, but one owner felt that such a formidable truck deserved larger wheels to truly make a statement.
Thus, they opted to elevate its presence by outfitting it with massive 24-inch forged wheels from T Sportline’s CT7 lineup. These wheels, likely the largest ever fitted to a Cybertruck, aimed to imbue the angular vehicle with a more predatory aura.
However, those who choose to equip their Cybertruck with these impressive 24-inch wheels must acknowledge a compromise in range. As wheel size increases, so does energy consumption, leading to a reduced driving distance before needing to recharge.
While Tesla engineered a 123-kWh lithium-ion battery pack to provide an EPA-estimated range of 250 to 340 miles, actual user reports suggest an average range of around 250 miles per charge.
In addition to range limitations, drivers with 24-inch wheels will experience increased noise, particularly at higher speeds, and altered road behavior. Nevertheless, they can take solace in owning an imposing Cybertruck, which boasts remarkable ground clearance even without the oversized wheels, thanks to its suspension’s maximum lift setup, providing 17.4 inches from the ground.
The massive wheels are paired with robust Recon Grabler all-terrain 45-inch tires, further enhancing the vehicle’s off-road capabilities. For those inclined to prioritize range over aesthetics, T Sportline offers 18-inch wheels that align perfectly with the Cybertruck’s factory-installed aero covers.
However, Tesla discontinued these covers due to customer complaints about tire wear, prompting the aftermarket company to offer Wildpeak all-terrain tires as an alternative. Cybertruck owners are eager to personalize their vehicles, given their standard unpaintable stainless steel bodies.
Wrapping options abound, from midnight purple to metallic red with carbon fiber flared fenders, as seen on real estate mogul Manny Khoshbin’s recent Cybertruck. Khoshbin’s praise for the vehicle’s appearance and performance underscores the appeal of the Cybertruck, prompting him to consider ordering one himself.
Gloss and matte black wraps were among the initial choices for customers looking to customize their Cybertrucks, alongside more unique options like military green and matte blue, with one owner even converting theirs into a mobile coffee shop. The diversity of modifications reflects the desire to make each Cybertruck stand out on the road.
