Creating the Ultimate Wheel/Tire Combo (Help Needed)

[kanundrum]

SOOO

how do they feel? whats your new power consumption figure if anything etc.

To be clear fwiw, these are Atomic 20" AWZZ, custom ordered in "Antique Bronze"
They are 12.6lbs lighter per wheel than the AT 20" Black wheels...

TBD, just installed them today, but will indeed have tested efficiency metrics and acceleration in a week or two in a video on my channel.

From a FEEL standpoint, oh yeah it's nice, steering feel is lighter (less gyroscopic..."inertia"? fighting against you), and suspension is much more smoothly compliant when crashing over badly broken pavement.

These look incredible but can you post a better quality photo of them so I can drool some more?

I'm on the OE AT Scorpions, and at least at this point don't plan to change...less rotational weight is king! I just shaved off 50lbs of it, not looking to add any back (all other AT options I've seen are heavier) unless there's a really good reason to.

Fozzy, here are some pics that Atomic sent me before shipping the wheels over, they show the 'antique' bronze finish with it's almost cats-eye'like depth and fine lining. It's not really quite as flash in person, but depends on lighting:

The Gen 1 OEM 20" wheel are forged enkei's, not 100% sure what the Gen 2s are, but they are still described as forged aluminum.

The 22" Sports are described as cast aluminum.

While the 22 range is "machined".

The 20" OEM Gen 1 wheels are made in China by HXT. This picture is from my truck in Mar. 2022, when we were making our wheels. HXT doesn't do any wheels for Enkei. I spoke with them a couple of years ago.

We rarely get videos like this from clients—it’s really cool!
The AWZZ looks awesome on the Rivian, like they were meant to be together. If you’ve got some photos too, send them over—this combo is just begging to be the star of our homepage banner!

Funny problem with these new rims...now I need to give my calipers a good scrubbing too

Looks great! Some AWZZs (satin black on my LA Silver) inbound myself. Excited to see how they look with some Nitto Nomad Grapplers.

Looks like the a good choice tbh

Thanks! As a designer of this Goodyear tire, I agree! I may be biased, but I think this tire hits the sweet spot between All-Terrain and All-Season performance for the R1. Here is a thread with more info...

And I was told by someone that works at Rivian corp that those 20s are forged enkei's. ?

We've been told many things by corporate .....even the upper and lower control arms are made in China , at least mine are.

Loving the look/color and now debating on if i want 20" or 22" LOL. 22" looks on these wheels would be amazing but Im tired of the harsh ride.

Definitely post some pics... OP's look great but I'd go satin black for my LA Silver also. The AW08 is also on my shortlist, but curious if the weight-drop of the AWZZ compensates a bit for the AT range loss.
