Random 20 Inch rims (cheap) for snow tires

[DTown3011]

These would work for the 22s right? The load rating seems sufficient.

Got a set of these ram 1500 wheels. Spent a few hours cleaning, sanding, and spray painting these!

First time so def not perfect, but good enough for a cheap set of winter wheels.

Post pics when you get those mounted!

These the same wheels? It’s so hard to tell lol

Alright, likely a stupid question, but did those years of Rams come with a steel wheel spare? Wondering if those could be made to fit...

I’m not 100% sure, but I think those are the wrong ones. If you read earlier in the thread it was described that the design is different where the spoke meets the rim. The squared ones like in post #62 are supposedly correct while the more rounded design of that area like those in your photos will not.

I say that not from experience, just following this topic.

You could be correct, I thought those were the same ones as the black painted ones posted above, but upon further look… I think you’re right those are wrong

why can’t Rivian just use normal wheels

Those are different. Apparently they do not fit. (not speaking from experience). Those wheels are apparently too thick and hit the calipers.

For mine, I can confirm they fit. I test fitted both the front and back and they work.

FYI you also need these two items.

Will do! There are a ton of posts with pics on a competing forum (s00n). I just copied their idea. They poke out 1/2 and inch, but still look good!

Thank you. Just to be clear, the more tapered, rounded design at the end of the spoke are the WRONG ones?

Yeah, it's crazy. Seems like part of the passive-agressive strategy to keep us from modifying our R1s. Sigh. I'd be happy if I could just get them to sell me wheels and then let me select the size in a menu.

Maybe even if the factory rims were somewhat affordable, or maybe just sell us rims without tires? Or offer snows? I mean it’s crazy. The vehicle itself is expensive enough.

They sold me OEM 20" rims for ~$625 / each. You should reach out to your local Service Center / service advisor, guide, and/or customer support.

Could you buy cheaper? Maybe... but as you have found out the options with right offset and weight rating are VERY limited right now. And do you really want to monkey around trying to make an aftermarket wheel fit to save maybe ~$2-300/ wheel and risk a potential service issue on your brand new $80K vehicle, for which you might end up on the hook for, and for which there's very limited availability on replacement parts...

Correct. Here is a better pic of the wheels before I painted them

Yeah definitely can't argue with that mentality. The original person that got these used ram 1500 wheels was using them for off roading and wanted a set of wheels he doesn't care about! The offset of these are +18 so definitely has a different stance.
