AW10 Forged Wheels for Rivian R1T/R1S

#ALL

The AW10 is our best-selling wheel design for the Rivian R1T and R1S, created to perfectly match the truck’s bold, squared-off design language. Its clean geometry and deep, purposeful profile emphasize the Rivian’s rugged character while keeping a refined, premium look.

The AW10 lineup offers multiple fitment options to suit different driving styles. Our exclusive 20x9 size—half an inch wider than OEM—delivers a noticeably more muscular stance while remaining lighter than stock wheels, making it an excellent choice for all-terrain (AT) tire setups.

For those looking to maintain a factory-like balance between comfort, efficiency, and aesthetics, the new 21x8.5 option provides a perfect middle ground with improved ride quality and optimized proportions. The lineup is completed by a 22x8.5 configuration for drivers who prefer a larger diameter and a more aggressive visual presence.

Every AW10 wheel is engineered for strength, durability, and real-world performance—designed to handle both daily driving and off-road adventures without compromise.

INSIGHTS:

 Meet the AW10, our best-selling forged wheel for the Rivian R1T and R1S. But what does “forged” mean?

Think of forged wheel technology as the art of transforming a single piece of top-grade aluminum alloy—specifically 6061-t6 aluminum—into a wheel that’s both incredibly strong and impressively light. We start with a forged billet—a solid piece of this high-quality metal that has already been forged to enhance its strength and structural integrity. This process changes the metal at its core, making it tougher than traditional cast wheels. Using precise CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining, we sculpt this forged billet into the final wheel design with meticulous detail. This process allows us to achieve the intricate styling and exact specifications that make our wheels a perfect fit for your Rivian.

In plain English, forged wheels are like the superheroes of the wheel world. They’re stronger and lighter, which means they can boost your vehicle’s performance. You’ll feel better acceleration, smoother braking, and sharper handling because the wheels reduce the weight your suspension has to deal with. Plus, they’re built to last, standing up to the bumps and potholes you encounter on the road. So not only do they look great, but they also give you confidence in your ride’s durability and efficiency.

We use Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to ensure the AW10 wheel is as tough as it looks. Think of FEA as a virtual stress test: we simulate real-world scenarios like hitting potholes or carrying heavy loads on the computer. This helps us spot and fix any potential weak spots before the wheel is made. The result? A wheel that’s not just stylish but also built to handle whatever the road throws at you. So you can drive with confidence, knowing your wheels are designed for strength and reliability.

All our Atomic Wheels forged wheels, including the AW10, feature a knurled bead seat. This is a specially textured surface where the tire meets the wheel, designed to prevent tire slippage under hard braking and acceleration. Whether you’re making quick stops or rapid launches, the knurled bead ensures your tires stay firmly in place, providing you with added safety and confidence on every drive.

Besides, we also offer a lightweight hub designed in the shape of a star. This innovative design significantly reduces the weight of the already light wheels while still ensuring a reliable and secure connection of the wheel to the hub surface.

Our AW10 wheels are fully compatible with Rivian’s original lug nuts and TPMS sensors, making installation straightforward. Due to the design of our wheels, the lug nut holes are slightly narrower than those on the OEM wheels. We recommend using a thin-wall socket to install the OEM lug nuts. This ensures a proper fit and helps prevent any scratches to the wheel’s finish. With this simple step, you can easily use your existing hardware and enjoy a perfect fit with your new wheels.

TIRE RECOMMENDATION:

 The standard tire size for 20-inch wheels on a Rivian is 275/65/20. However, for those looking for an alternative, we recommend the 275/60/20 profile. This size matches the diameter of the 21-inch tires (275/55/21), allowing you to switch without needing to reprogram your vehicle. Additionally, the 275/60/20 option can increase range and efficiency when paired with our forged wheels. For an affordable and efficient tire choice, we suggest the General Grabber HTS60 in 275/60/20.

#21x8545

TIRE RECOMMENDATION:

The standard tire size for 21-inch wheels on a Rivian is 275/55/21, which is fully compatible with the 21x8.5 wheel size and preserves the factory overall diameter, speedometer accuracy, and vehicle calibration.

For drivers prioritizing comfort, efficiency, and daily usability, the 275/55/21 profile remains the best-balanced option, offering a smooth ride and optimal sidewall support. When paired with our lightweight forged wheels, this setup can help improve efficiency and driving dynamics compared to heavier OEM wheels.

This size is ideal for street-focused and highway-oriented tires, making it a great choice for daily driving while maintaining the Rivian’s original proportions and performance characteristics.

#22x8545

TIRE RECOMMENDATION:

For a 22-inch wheel, we recommend using the 275/50R22 tire size. This setup maintains proper overall diameter, preserves speedometer accuracy, and ensures correct vehicle calibration on the Rivian.

The 275/50R22 size provides a balanced combination of comfort, stability, and visual presence, making it an excellent match for the 22x8.5 wheel. It offers sufficient sidewall support while enhancing the Rivian’s stance with a more aggressive, upscale look.

This configuration is ideal for street and highway-focused driving, delivering confident handling and a refined ride without compromising everyday usability.

What is the difference between a forged rim and a flow-formed rim? 

The main difference between forged and flow-formed rims lies in their manufacturing processes and materials. Forged rims, made from 6061-T6 aluminum, are formed under extreme pressure and then precisely machined using CNC technology, resulting in ultra-strong, lightweight wheels ideal for high performance. Flow-formed rims, also known as spin-formed, start with a cast mold and are shaped using hydraulic pressure and rotation. This enhances the strength of cast rims while maintaining a more affordable price point, offering a solid balance of performance and cost.

Where do you make the wheels? 

The factory where we manufacture the rims is in China, utilizing state-of-the-art technology and rigorous safety and quality control processes. You can see the detailed production process in our video here.

Do you ship outside of the United States? 

Yes, we ship worldwide. However, purchasing a rim in stock can be expensive due to shipping costs. Therefore, we recommend placing a custom order where items are shipped directly from the factory to reduce costs. In this way you will get the same price worldwide, because the rims will be delivered from the factory. 

What Tire Sizes Do You Recommend for Installing Your Rims?

We recommend sticking with OEM sizes for the best performance and fit. However, there is often some room for alternatives based on your specific needs and preferences. We’re happy to help with any questions and guide you in choosing the best tire size for your setup.

What Are Your Cancellation Policies if I Want a Refund on My Pre-Order?

If you’ve made a pre-order payment, you can cancel your order and request a refund at any time before the shipment is processed.

How Long Does It Take to Receive an Order After Making a Purchase?

We usually ship orders within 1 business day using UPS Ground. Delivery typically takes 2-5 business days after shipment. Please note that tire sets may take up to 10 days to assemble before shipping in some cases.

Can I Pick Up the Rims Directly if I’m Near Your Location?

Yes, you can pick up the rims directly if you’re near our location. Please note that Texas sales tax will be applied to in-state sales.

Are Your Center Caps Compatible with the OEM Ones?

Most of our center caps are 65mm, so they are not compatible with the OEM center caps.
