First 24" Wheels for Cybertruck have launched! CT7 Forged by T Sportline

[T Sportline]

24" has arrived, the biggest yet! Seeing this in person, the larger wheel does a great job balancing some focus off the tire sidewall and giving the truck sideview and 3/4 view a more structured and edgy look, consistent with the overall polarizing Cybertruck design language. These have the proper spec to bolt-on, no rubbing or fitment issues whatsoever. https://youtu.be/yAeXmaYr13I

The CT7 lineup is offered in a full sweep of sizes:
18" Downsize (max sidewall / soft ride / lightest wheel / off road performance oriented)
20" (Factory size)
22" Plus option / shorter sidewall / less tire sidewall flex
24" Full size / shortest sidewall

I’d like to see a giant gnarly tri spoke or something wild like that

Looks awesome. Those are the perfect size for visual balance

 

[ChiTownCT]

Really like those, aesthethically pleasing..

 

[Eddyrelik]

Looks amazing! Like a real Hot Wheels!

Weight is TBD?

Will the larger wheels improve handling on pavement? Say a twisty country road?

I like it! How noisy are the lower profile tires? Also Now it needs much bigger brakes.

What color blue is the wrap?

Finally, a set of colossal wheels befitting a Cybertruck?

I like the stock wheel size 24 could be great for the road but stock is the way to go for all around use.

I’m wondering how those work with towing capacity and weight ratios? Are the tires and rims rated to hold tongue weight and a 11k lb load pulling a trailer? Since you have to purchase the rim with the tire, what’s the cost per tire and rim? Thanks! They look good!

Would probably make it worse if anything. Less sidewall to absorb bumps so it'll probably be a harsher ride.

Um…no. Ride quality and handling are on opposite sides of a spectrum.

Only if you consider the Cybertruck not a truck but a track weapon. Which is confusing, because the photo shows what looks like an all-terrain tire on the 24" wheels. And the Cybertruck is really too heavy to be a very good track weapon.

The secret to off-road performance is sidewall deflection and the ability to air down, which is why most trucks don't even run 20" wheels. The Cybertruck Foundation Edition OEM setup with 20" wheels already runs with a high bias towards street driving, even if they have an all-terrain tire on there. So, if you're gonna put 24" rims on the Cybertruck, it should be mounted with a tire suitable for the road and track, not an All-Terrain tire.

The number one rule of sizing wheels and tires is to match it to the intended application, never select a size based primarily on looks. Different tires and wheel sizes change the performance characteristics dramatically so, unless you are buying the vehicle primarily as a show vehicle, you really don't want to make such important sizing decisions based on looks. It's an engineering problem and the Cybertruck already has enough weight, instant torque and cornering ability to be very demanding upon the tire. Choose a non-optimum setup and nerf your truck. Sure, it will still have four wheels and drive around, but if that's all you care about, why buy a Cybertruck?

The two most intersting options are the lightweight forged 20" wheels (with street tires you would have a pretty mean driving machine for a truck) and the lightweight forged 18" wheels. With a compliant sidewall rough terrain tire the Cybertruck would instantly become much more capable off-road, at the expense of great on-road driving dynamics. But those 18" rims would allow the installion of tires designed to perform well and be durable when aired down significantly (which I'm not convinced the OEM tires on 20" rims are).

The 24" wheels with All-Terrain tires are for posers who don't know (or don't care) what they are doing. All they care about is looking unique and peacocking. Yes, I used "peacock" as a verb. So shoot me.
