Vossen Forged Wheels for R1S

[TwinWhitsles]

I pick my R1S up on 03/23 and I'm in the market for 22" forged wheels. I've investigated all the options I've seen on this site, but I'm also interested in these Vossen LC3-01.

I contacted the vendor Forza, which carries these wheels. They specifically list them and others for Rivians.

I don't know much about the fitment for Rivians, so I'm hoping someone here with more experience can verify that these specs won't cause any fitment/rubbing issues with my R1S.

Forza's response:

• Yes, we can produce 22-inch forged wheels LC3-01 to fit your 2024 Rivian R1S.
• We produced 22 inches from LC3-01 to RIVIAN cars
• Car: 2023 Rivian R1S Adventure
• Design: Vossen LC3-01
• Front wheels: 22x9.5
• Rear wheels: 22x9.5
• Front Offset: 44
• Rear Offset: 44

The offsets and design is outstanding and its Rivian specific, unlike so many that attempt to cross adapt +18mm to +22mm wheels with significant fitment compromises.

How much are they, and what do they weigh?

I verified while corresponding with Forza because I thought the price for forged wheels was too good to be true. However, they list on their site for $2,380 for a set of 4 Forza Site. Lead time and shipping cost could be better, but they are cheaper than my other consideration of the EV1 R500 Directional wheels.

Forza's response:
Price for 22 inches is $2380 USD for set of 4 forged wheels.
Shipping price is $940 USD by air, by sea is $530 USD door to door.

Shipment is interesting, as Vossen manufacturers out of Miami on all forged wheels, so the Vossen you have spec'd are coming from Forza in China. Anything at that price point is China, but I don't have a problem with that, but the freight is interesting, which really states that haven't built many, as there is no USA inventory.

Those shipping costs are crazy. Have you checked out the offerings from one of our site sponsors Atomic Wheels? Lots of choices and they seem to be very responsive and shipping costs are VERY reasonable with much better turn around.

I have the Vossen HF2s on another car and one of my wheels cracked going over a pothole. My wheel specialist that fixed the cracked wheel mentioned that Vossens are hybrid forged not true forged i.e. forged wheels should never crack, only bend. If you’re looking for the best forged wheels out there, then the HREs are legendary, but I’m not sure if they do custom orders for Rivians. Otherwise, I agree with the others, the tried and tested Rivian ones from our site vendors are great options.

That's very interesting and makes sense with the shipping.

Those are really nice wheels and they definitely have the right look to be more of a truck/SUV wheel compared to most of the Vossen wheel offerings.

Atomic does have a similar wheel, but I don't see it offered in 22". I was also hoping to find something with a little more dimensional depth in spokes. I've reached out to Atomic to see if 22" could be made as they offer it in other designs.

Agreed that they have more of an offroad look and liked the depth of the inner part of the wheel.

You have to be careful with that. The concavity of any wheel changes with offset and/or wheel width. Just keep in mind that any wheels can be more or less concave than they appear in pictures if they aren't the same specs as the wheels you're purchasing.

Here's that same wheel with a very mild concave profile:
