I ordered 22” blk rims on my R1t. In this picture, this looks like a 21”. Are these available?

49% sure those are 22s. If you go to the configurator they are called “22 inch Sport Dark”.

Those don't look like the 22" style. They actually look like the standard 20" wheel painted solid black, which isn't even offered. This might be a prototype wheel.

I see your point. I will edit my post to 99% sure.

This is a prototype that Rivian built years ago. It’s a black 20” wheel with a 275/60r20 Pirelli Scorpion Verde tire.

I think OP is right on the sizing - it looks like too much sidewall for a 22” but not enough for a 20”. I will revise my first post to 49% positive.

Yep. It’s the “default“ 20” wheel, which is currently dark grey width machined accents on the spokes, but painted all black because prototype.

this, just all black, with an all season tire.

I seem to recall that early on the configurator only allowed one style of 20" wheels depending on model - the above in silver and black for R1T, and the current "bright"/"dark" style for R1S. At some point they standardized the wheel selections across both models, but only the R1S "dark" style remained for black 20" wheels.

I saw this posted somewhere several months ago, not sure if it was on this forum. Anyways, here are the prototype 20" on a FG.
