Did the AWZZ specs make it? Curious if you were able to break into ~25 lbs for it or not...?
We reengineered [AWZZ] for Rivians. This 20x8.5 wheel weight estimation is 25.5 lbs. 
What do you think, guys?

Atomic for the win. If efficiency, very good handling and great comfort are what you want. I'm very happy with Pirelli AS Plus 3 20 275/60. Look way better and cheaper than 21s and same to better efficiency.

Any efficiency data you can share with this setup?
Looks like a solid setup and imagine your MPK has to be pretty high, maybe >2.5?

Just in case you need even lighter wheels, we have another design—AWZZ. We haven't made them for the Rivians yet, but we are happy to produce them as a custom order or any other design you like.

What are your thoughts on going from Rivian 22” OEM to the one pictured or your AWZ1 with Michelin Defender M/S2 275/60/20”. I think size should be almost identical, but weight ~14 lbs less for the combo. If I recall, the OEM set is 83 lbs vs 69.

We expect [AWZ1] to be very light as well. Once we get them, we will snap some pictures on the scale and post them here.

You may want to consider the Continental terrain contact H/T’s also. I put them on 10k miles ago and they are wearing great. As in very little. They are a A/A vs A/B on the Michelin on temp/traction? Sorry going from memory…


You are correct the only issue is the width of 275 vs 285 (Contis arent available in 285) would throw off aspect ratio by about 1% more making it 2.79% vs 1.48% diff in the speed calculation
