NEW Black Rhino 20" Forged Wheels on Rivian

[Revin]

I recently worked with Black Rhino wheels to test out and get media content for their new Rivian specific wheels!

Black Rhino Voltaic Forged Monoblock
Size: 20x8.5 +35
Standard Finishes: Gunmetal and Bronze
Scheduled for release in 2023 Q4.
Designed and engineered specifically for the Rivian R1T and R1S with load rating, strength, and wheel weight in mind.

I used my original AT tires and I have no rubbing issues at any height.

I weighed them before I mounted them and they are 6 lbs lighter than my stock 20” wheels.

Here are a few more examples of others that got a demo set with different colored trucks.

Price?

Price?

The wheels are unreleased so there is no official price yet

Look great. Price will be interesting.

Man, that compass yellow looks so damn nice with black wheels.

 

[seanocono]

These look great on your truck. Thanks for sharing.

Nice looking wheels!

Awesome! Good to see another black rhino riv fitment owner.

Range impact? I know, lobbing you a slow pitch there

I haven’t had them on that long but it seems a little better since they are lighter

The weight difference is negligible when it comes to range.

These rims look awesome. Definitely the best looking wheels I have seen yet on a R1.

I think they are not as aerodynamic as the OEM wheels you replaced. I am 82.4% sure there will be a measurable range impact at highway speeds. You probably won't notice a difference below 50 mph, but a 75 or 80, a 5% hit is reasonable.

But they do look amazing.

We'll await your detailed report of temps, headwind, tire pressure, and other variables compared with OEM and new wheels on a controlled course of 50+ miles. Thanks for your dedication to science!

I really like the look of these. Would be interested in a set of bronze on my launch green.

Rolling on 34” ATs. Aero is of little concern. One doesn’t choose steady diet of ice cream to worry about becoming overweight.
