Aerodynamic Engineering and Flow Optimisation
The 20-inch Chela wheels by The New Aero represent an extraordinary fusion of functional aerodynamics and modern motorsport elegance. Developed purposefully for the electric drivetrain, each wheel features a tailored aero-optimised architecture designed to manage boundary layer air currents across the vehicle flanks. By pairing an enclosed aerodynamic outer profile with deliberately engineered turbulence extraction channels, the Chela wheel minimises drag without sacrificing critical mechanical component ventilation.
A critical factor in sustaining high-performance driving is continuous thermal management. Unlike conventional solid aerodynamic covers that can trap excessive heat, the Chela disc geometry establishes a controlled airflow path directly around the brake rotors and callipers. This active cooling air circulation preserves braking efficiency under spirited driving conditions while smoothing the turbulent air that naturally accumulates within the wheel wells.

Genuine Carbon Fibre Aerodiscs and Titanium Fastening
Every single Chela wheel is adorned with an authentic carbon fibre aerodisc treated with an exquisite Satin Carbon finish. Crafted from genuine layered carbon weave, these aerodiscs impart an unmistakable, tactile motorsport depth that distinguishes your vehicle from standard factory setups. The rich, non-reflective satin sheen accentuates the complex geometric weave of the composite material, resisting visual glare while offering resilience against the elements.
To unite composite performance with structural integrity, the aerodiscs are secured to the aluminium wheel base using precision-engineered titanium hardware. A dedicated set of twenty premium titanium screws—five per wheel—provides maximum clamping force, exceptional corrosion resistance, and high tensile strength. This deliberate pairing of genuine carbon fibre with high-grade titanium eliminates unnecessary unsprung weight, honouring the purist approach to automotive weight reduction and engineering excellence.
Flow-Formed Aluminium Construction and Weight Savings
Beneath the striking carbon discs lies a lightweight foundation built using advanced flow-forming manufacturing techniques. This sophisticated production method compresses and stretches the aluminium barrel under extreme pressure, reorienting the grain structure of the alloy to mirror the structural strength and fatigue resistance typically associated with fully forged wheels, yet at a fraction of the mass. Each Chela wheel weighs approximately 12.7 kg, establishing a remarkably light footprint that enhances suspension responsiveness, road compliance, and acceleration feedback.
Sustainability and structural integrity go hand in hand throughout the production cycle. The flow-formed alloy is created using an aluminium formulation consisting of at least 70% recycled material, achieving a responsible environmental footprint without diminishing tensile performance. Furthermore, the wheels carry full ECE type approval, offering verifiable assurance that every specification meets rigorous standards for quality, geometric integrity, and road safety.
Precision Factory Fitment and Broad Compatibility
Engineered strictly to OEM-aligned geometric tolerances, the Chela wheel set boasts exact dimensions of 20 × 9.5 inches with an offset of ET45. These measurements integrate faultlessly with the vehicle's factory suspension geometry, wheel arch clearances, and computerised traction algorithms, maintaining the exact steering geometry established by the manufacturer. Whether your car is fitted with standard calipers or the upgraded Performance anchors, the Chela design clears the hardware comfortably without necessitating hub spacers, arch modifications, or bespoke mounting studs.
Vehicle compatibility spans the entire Tesla Model Y lineup, covering models produced from 2021 through February 2025, as well as the updated Model Y Juniper Premium models starting from March 2025 onwards, and the Model Y Juniper Standard vehicles debuting from November 2025 onwards. The wheels are engineered to work natively with your original Tesla factory lug nuts and centre caps, ensuring an effortless, straightforward swap without the requirement of aftermarket hub rings or non-standard fasteners.

Finishes, Structural Warranty, and Routine Care
The Chela wheel system is offered in two distinguished colour combinations, curated specifically to harmonise with the minimalist Tesla aesthetic: Glossy Titanium paired with Satin Carbon, and Matte Bronze paired with Satin Carbon. The deep, reflective lustre of the Glossy Titanium finish provides an executive, contemporary statement, whereas the warmth of the Matte Bronze creates an assertive, technical aesthetic. Both variants are protected by a comprehensive 2-year warranty covering structural defects as well as material or production flaws.
Maintaining the pristine visual quality of your Chela wheel set is straightforward thanks to the durable protective coatings applied to both the aluminium barrel and the carbon components. We recommend washing the surfaces regularly with pH-neutral wheel cleaners and microfibre wash mitts, avoiding aggressive acidic detergents or harsh wire brushes that could mar the satin clear coat of the carbon discs. Ensuring your titanium hardware is inspected during seasonal tyre rotations will keep your high-end running gear in pristine condition for tens of thousands of miles.
