Even though deliveries started last year, and we know everything about it, the Tesla Cybertruck is still the talk of town in certain circles. And since it's a popular ride, it's only natural that some owners want to personalize theirs.
We've already seen how it looks dressed in different hues, including black, and now it's time for the potent electric pickup to get new wheels. Shared on Instagram recently by agluxurywheels and agwheels, these images show the model on AGL78 alloys.
If they look familiar, it's because they've been fitted to various Rolls-Royce cars, including a Cullinan we wrote about a few months ago. They're also the wheels of choice when it comes to the Range Rover, Mercedes-AMG G 63, and Rivian R1T, among others, and they're an interesting proposal with a disc-like design.
Monoblock and dual-block configurations are available, according to Avant Garde, with a three-piece flat or step lip and a standard or a concave profile. The wheels were made of aerospace grade 6061-T6 forged aluminum for what the company calls an "optimum strength-to-weight ratio," and they can be ordered in different finishes and sizes.

Speaking of the latter, Avant Garde's website reveals that they're available in diameters ranging from 19 to 26 inches, bar the 25-inch one, and on the pictured Tesla Cybertruck, they measure 24 inches. Thus, they're significantly larger than the stock set, which measures 9x20 inches at the front and rear, featuring injection-molded plastic with flexible polymer edge covers.
As standard, the electric pickup comes with all-terrain tires from Goodyear. The Wrangler Territory RT rubber measures 285/65 at both axles. The model can also be fitted with Pirelli Scorpion ATR all-season tires in the same size as the ones from Goodyear. The pictured Cybertruck has meaty rubber that probably enhances traction on different surfaces. It retains the original silver look with a few black elements and has privacy windows all around.
It's unknown how the aftermarket wheels and tires shown here affect the vehicle's performance. In the top-of-the-line grade, which is known as the Cyberbeast, you are looking at a neck-snapping 2.6 seconds from 0 to 60 mph (97 kph). This model has a 130 mph (210 kph) top speed, a 320-mile (515 km) range that can be increased to over 440 miles (708 km) with the optional range extender, and a towing capacity of 11,000 pounds (4,990 kg).
The mid-range version, which is also all-wheel drive, has an identical towing rating. It can travel 340 miles 547 km) on a full charge or 470+ miles (756 km) with the range extender and takes 4.1 seconds to reach 60 mph. Finally, the base spec, which is rear-wheel drive, increases the acceleration time to 6.5 seconds and drops the top speed to 112 mph (180 kph). It has a 250-mile range and a 7,500 lbs (3,402 kg) towing rating and will go on sale in 2025.
