Ever since Tesla unveiled the concept of the Cybertruck in late 2019, it became pretty obvious that much of the hype surrounding it would come from bad publicity – even their 'unbreakable' window stunt backfired but ultimately added to the aura of upcoming legend.
Now, a few months after Tesla finally introduced the most preposterous (according to some) pickup truck on the market, the Cybertruck EV still attracts a lot of attention. Not because the base RWD model can't be ordered until 2025 from $61k with 250 miles of range and 6.5 seconds to 60 mph. This is not due to the fact that the AWD model starting at $80k is probably more than enough with 600 hp, and the flagship Cyberbeast with 845 hp is simply 'overkill.'

But, more importantly, because the aftermarket realm is crazy about a wedge-shaped pickup truck dressed in stainless steel and feeling like a blank canvas waiting to make it your own. Even Tesla has wraps for it, after all. However, there is one problem with these vehicles that invites polemics – when is enough enough? More precisely, where do you start crossing a line when the vehicle in question is controversial from the get-go?

Well, for example, the Los Angeles, California-based forged wheel experts over at Forgiato Designs know how to stir a pot of outrageousness with just a hint of social media awareness, and they think that a Tesla Cybertruck riding on 30-inch Forgiato aftermarket 'steelies' is just what the YouTube doctor ordered for Corey Jones from aftermarket outlet Omar's Wheels. Obviously, the Internet either loves or hates the custom build – some call it a cheese grinder, while others believe that it works because it's (even more) different from the norm.

What do you think? Should everyone try to stand out in the Tesla Cybertruck crowd by any means necessary, or is there a limit that needs to be imposed? While you think about an answer, let's see what else Forgiato has cooked up recently. For example, King's Customs just got their Ford F-450 Super Duty tow rig prepared with matching crimson Forgiatos, and they certainly look spicy. Is it spiked? Secondly, MC Customs from Miami knows how to make 24 inchers feel subtle - they use a Rolls-Royce Spectre and staggered widths for that, along with a dual-tone black-chrome appearance.

Thirdly, Utica Auto Spa supports the case of those who believe that big wheels are in order on a full-size pickup truck – albeit not with skinny tires like seen on this blue Ram 1500 dressed in 28-inch black Forgiato 'shoes' and looking totally sad about it. On the other hand, Forgiato has many other options for fitting a Tesla Cybertruck with nicer wheels – check out the other posts embedded below.
