[mgc0216]

I don’t do aftermarket wheels ever but this doesn’t look awful

Yes it does.

Now if he just modified the suspension to bounce....

I actually like the look of a few Fuel wheels....these just don't fit...but my custom built wheels should be on Friday and hopefully they do fit....

Couldn't agree more. I would hope that the forum members have a sense that I like to joke around a lot. If you don't, please understand I was poking fun at the idea of "pimping out a Rivian".

Everyone is entitled to their own idea of what their Rivian should be, but man oh man, what a way to lay waste to an exceptional, $80K vehicle.

I like the tire look but wheels are bleh. But most of all it LOOKS like it's going to be rubbing anytime you hit a pebble.

Those guys are hacks! I worked in the tire industry for several years and had to un-do $h!t like that many times. They don't actually fit the truck, setting aside the fact that I personally don't like the looks; "it clears the back, it rubs the front". Clearly they just want to make the sale and post the "first in the world" video. I cannot understand why they are ok with charging the customer money (and I imagine they stuck it to him) to F-up that new 100K truck? I would pay money to not let those guys near any of my vehicles.

Fake bead lock bolts...sigh.

In Pennsylvania, that fitment could be failed on State Inspection or written up by the police because the tires extend out past the body/fenders.

As someone who’s only lived in the South, I completely forget that some states require inspections and might actually enforce safety rules on aftermarket modifications. Georgia could probably eliminate our income tax if they started ticketing people for wheels that extend beyond the fenders.

Got your custom wheels? Looking forward to seeing the result and design.

I'm older now, so factory wheels are more my style, but I can't stand to have wheels tucked inside the fenders. Wheel spacers are a must to get them at least flush. Those are not the best looking wheels but they are not terrible and I would imagine at a normal ride height, would look quite good. Personalizing your vehicle is what drives trends, and has been done since forever, that's why rivian offers 22" wheels and black wheels, that everyone and their mother said looked stupid 15years ago (I personally hate black wheels). People constantly make sacrifices in driving their vehicle in the quest to make it look better, that's part of the fun sometimes. If you are buying a Rivian, you are making sacrifices. Everything on a touchscreen, air suspension, glass roof, low profile tires (yes the 20" option has low profile tires), and a whole lot of features that cheaper vehicles come with, these are sacrifices that every Rivian owner makes to have a "cool" vehicle. And that's great, and all of you are going exploring every weekend and all. But put on wheels that stick out of the fender a whole damn inch, that crosses the line, that's unacceptable, it's downright unsafe. I hope the cops pull them over and give them a fix it ticket.

They look really cool. Combination of rallye and road feel. I’m not able to see the brand. Who made them?
I’m also intrigued about how it will impact your range.

It’s going to be tough to offer better looking wheels than the six Rivian OEM wheel choices.

Wheels are like pizza, everyone has a favorite, but I think the Rivian OEM wheels are not appealing at all in anyway.

These are custom forged wheels built by Variant in the USA. 6061-T6 then machined to this design. They weight 3.5lbs less each and have an "adventure" look, which is what I was shooting for. If I wanted a vehicle with AERO wheels I would have purchased a Nissan Leaf .

Couldn't disagree more. Let's see Rivian offers Black and Polished.... Hhhmm yep that covers it all there as far as options for good looking wheels.

I think they look great. Exact color I was thinking of to go with LG/FG. I looked at Variants site, they use that design, with some mod, a lot for wheels.
