More than a wheel: a technology platform
The GT TEK is no ordinary wheel. It is a techno-mechanical masterpiece representing 20 years of R&D. BST began in motorsport and grew into the world's largest manufacturer of carbon wheels. The GT TEK is the result of that evolution: the world's first 100% carbon hollow-spoke automotive wheel. Thanks to advanced materials science, aerodynamics, and manufacturing processes such as those used in Formula 1 and aerospace, BST brings unparalleled performance to the road and track.
The GT TEK is designed to optimize the critical properties of a wheel: weight, bending stiffness, rotating mass, and safety. While conventional alloy wheels often involve a compromise between strength and mass, the GT TEK offers the best of both worlds: up to 60% lighter than standard alloy wheels while being 13 times stronger than aluminum. This combination results in a directly noticeable advantage in acceleration, braking distance, steering precision, and grip.
The BST GT TEK is not only functional but has also received recognition: at the prestigious SEMA Show 2021, this wheel won the award for “Best New Product in the Wheel and Related Products”. It thereby officially entered the rare category of ultra-light automotive components - a class in which hardly any other street-legal wheels exist.
BST uses only high-quality carbon fiber structures sourced from the same supply chains as the aerospace industry. Every GT TEK wheel is manufactured with the utmost precision and individually tested. The production process is fully ISO 9001:2015 certified and audited by TÜV Rheinland. Each wheel has a unique serial number with full material and production traceability.
This technology is now also used on some of the world's most exclusive supercars, such as the Donkervoort D8 GTO, the Ariel Atom, the VUHL 05, and even the Delage D12 - voted the most beautiful car in the world in 2020. The arrival of the GT TEK in the Porsche 991 GT market means that you can now benefit from that same technology - in your own car.
BST is not just a manufacturer. It is a visionary brand that is not satisfied with what already exists. As they put it themselves: “We didn’t just break the mould. We shattered it.” The GT TEK wheel is tangible proof of that.
Made for the world's fastest production car
The Tesla Model S Plaid is a technological milestone. With three motors, 1,020 hp, and a sub-2-second sprint time, this car deserves wheels that can keep pace with its potential. The GT TEK wheels do exactly that: they were developed with the same focus on speed, stability, and efficiency as the car itself.
SEMA Award winner & technical superiority
The GT TEK is the world's first and only 100% carbon hollow-spoke automotive wheel. Awarded the SEMA Award 2021 for best new product in its category, this wheel symbolizes innovation. By perfectly combining weight, bending stiffness, and safety, these wheels take any EV to a higher level - without compromising on looks or regulations.
Technology at the highest level
BST uses the same manufacturing techniques as the aerospace and Formula 1 industries. Every wheel is manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 certification and has a unique serial number for full traceability. The wheels meet DOTE, ETRTO, TÜV, and JWL standards and can withstand the extreme forces generated by a Model S Plaid at high speed.
Finish and personalization
The GT TEK wheel comes standard in Twill carbon with a transparent clear coat. Forged Carbon is also optionally available for a unique marbled effect. You can choose from three finishes: high-gloss, matte, or satin. For added visual impact, tinted paint options are available in Gold, Red, Green, Blue, or a Chameleon finish. All coatings are ink-based, so the carbon weave remains visible with added depth and color intensity. Custom colors are available on request.
Q&A - frequently asked questions
Are these wheels street-legal?
Yes, they meet DOTE, TÜV, and JWL standards and are fully suitable for road use.
Are these wheels suitable for the Model S Long Range?
This specific set is designed for the Model S Plaid (2022+). Contact us for fitments for other versions.
What is the weight advantage?
Up to 60% lighter than standard wheels, resulting in improved acceleration, braking distance, and energy consumption.
What will I notice while driving?
More direct steering response, less rolling resistance, and better balance. Especially noticeable at higher speeds or with a sporty driving style.
Can I choose from multiple finishes?
Yes, the BST GT TEK wheels can be personalized in both finish and color. They are supplied as standard in classic Twill woven carbon, with a transparent coating that beautifully accentuates the depth of the carbon weave. For those looking for something unique, there is also the option of an exclusive Forged Carbon finish - recognizable by its marbled appearance with more organic lines.
For the surface, three finishes are available: high-gloss, matte, or satin (silk gloss / semi-gloss). Each finish emphasizes the carbon in a different way - from bold and glossy to understated and tactile. The standard color is 'Black', meaning carbon with a transparent clear coat, but for added character you can choose a tinted coating in Gold, Red, Green, Blue, or even a striking Chameleon finish, in which the carbon changes color depending on the light.
In all cases, an ink coating is used, allowing the structure of the carbon weave to remain beautifully visible while adding extra depth and attractive color.
Custom colors are of course also possible; contact us if your desired color is not listed here - almost anything is possible.
What about durability?
The wheels can withstand impacts, temperature fluctuations, and prolonged loads. 13 times stronger than aluminum.
Make your Tesla Model S Plaid not only faster but also more refined. With the BST GT TEK carbon wheel set, experience electric performance at the highest level. Lightweight. Strong. Aesthetic. And ready for the future.
