At Munro & Associates, innovation isn’t confined to tearing down vehicles—we build, too. That spirit of engineering-led creativity is now driving our latest project: Delta Wheels. Co-developed by Sandy Munro and Armin Czarnowski, these forged wheels are not just different in appearance—they are different by design. Engineered from the ground up to be lighter, stronger, and more aerodynamic than anything else on the market, Delta Wheels bring a radical shift to aftermarket EV performance upgrades.
Rethinking the Wheel: A Structural Revolution
Most aftermarket wheels, even the forged ones, follow a familiar design philosophy—form-driven and variations on the same structural concepts. Delta Wheels break that mold entirely. As Armin explains, these wheels use a triangulated structure at the center, forming a geometric configuration that provides exceptional strength while eliminating excess weight.
The results speak for themselves:
- About 10 pounds lighter per wheel than comparable forged options
- Only 19 pounds per corner on the signature model for Model 3 and Model Y
- Full hollow-core construction for weight savings without compromising structural integrity
This triangulated design borrows principles from architectural and aerospace engineering, yielding a product that’s as functional as it is visually striking.
Forged to Perform: Engineering First
Delta Wheels are fully forged, meaning they are pressed into shape under extreme pressure rather than cast in a mold. This process creates a tighter grain structure in the aluminum, improving durability, fatigue resistance, and impact resilience.
Munro didn’t stop at concept or CAD validation—real-world abuse was part of the process:
- Crash testing confirmed resilience under extreme loads
- Fatigue testing simulated years of usage and vibration
- Sledgehammer impacts and ballistic testing (yes, a .45 caliber test is coming) confirmed durability in practical extremes
These tests ensure that Delta Wheels aren’t just lighter—they are also more durable and safer than most aftermarket alternatives.
Designed for Tesla—And Built to Outperform
The Delta lineup currently supports:
- Model 3 and Model Y (signature 20-inch wheel)
- Cybertruck (22-inch and 20-inch bulletproof models)
The Model S and X may also be compatible with some modification and a minor upcharge. But make no mistake—these are purpose-engineered wheels that complement the engineering DNA of Tesla vehicles.
Each wheel design draws aesthetic influence from Tesla’s design language while enhancing aerodynamics. For example, the Cybertruck wheel is:
- Closed-face, minimizing air drag and protecting against debris
- Matched in finish and geometry to Cybertruck cladding
- Offered in both black and stainless-style brushed finishes
This meticulous alignment with Tesla’s design cues helps the wheels feel like a natural extension of the vehicle, not an afterthought.
Off-Road Ready, Aerodynamically Smart
One often-overlooked advantage of the Delta design is the sealed structure, particularly on the Cybertruck wheels. In off-road conditions, traditional wheels with exposed spokes tend to trap mud, gravel, and debris. Delta Wheels are:
- Completely sealed off to prevent clogging
- Built like aerodynamic racing wheels, offering reduced drag at high speed
- Ideal for rugged environments, long-range efficiency, and future off-road Cybertruck configurations
The combination of off-road utility and aerodynamic refinement makes these wheels uniquely versatile—something that’s rare in the aftermarket EV space.
Patented, Validated, and Protected
The Delta Wheels are not just a product—they’re a patented innovation. That’s because the structure, materials, and engineering processes behind them represent a truly novel approach. While many aftermarket companies may replicate the look of high-performance wheels, few can claim:
- A patented design backed by fatigue testing
- Aerodynamic optimization through CFD
- Structural benchmarking against OEM and forged competitors
Munro’s reputation for rigorous benchmarking and teardown analysis means these wheels have been compared to—and outperformed—some of the best in the industry.
Pricing and Availability
Here’s a quick breakdown of the price structure:
| Wheel Model | Size | Price (USD) |
|---|---|---|
| Cybertruck Bulletproof | 22-inch | $4,500 for four |
| Cybertruck Bulletproof | 20-inch | $4,000 for four |
| Signature Tesla | 20-inch | $3,800 for four |
Due to expected demand, the 20-inch signature wheels benefit from volume pricing. All orders are fulfilled via the address linked in the original Munro Live video.
Why Delta Wheels Matter
In the ever-evolving world of EVs, where weight savings and energy efficiency are critical, wheels play a larger role than many realize. A 10-pound reduction per corner translates into:
- Improved handling and ride quality
- Better acceleration and braking performance
- Longer range due to reduced rolling resistance and rotational mass
When matched with advanced aerodynamics and structural integrity, it’s clear that Delta Wheels are more than just an aesthetic upgrade—they are a performance enhancement backed by expert engineering.
Final Thoughts: Innovation at the Edge
Munro & Associates has long stood for transparent engineering, functional design, and real-world testing. Delta Wheels embody that philosophy in physical form. They’re not just new—they’re necessary for EV owners seeking maximum performance without compromise.
Whether you’re a Cybertruck enthusiast, Model 3 weekend racer, or an investor tracking trends in lightweight automotive technology, these wheels point to a future where structure matters as much as style.
