AWZZ for Lucid Air 20x8.5 Inch +35 Offset Forged Wheels Satin Black

Lucid Air / Tesla Model S / Acura TLX (incl. Type-S) are masterpieces of modern engineering, blending cutting-edge technology with luxurious comfort and performance. But even with all their innovation, it’s easy for one to look just like the next. The factory wheels? Functional, but far from exciting — and not exactly lightweight, which can impact both performance and efficiency. That’s why we developed the AWZZ, one of our best-selling and lightest designs in the Atomic Wheels lineup. It combines exceptional lightness with an elegant, performance-focused design to make your Lucid Air, Model S, or TLX not only look more refined but also feel sharper and more responsive on the road.

Our 20x8.5 size, weighing just 21.3 lbs (9.7 kg), is an excellent choice for owners looking to upgrade from heavier stock wheels. This lightweight construction reduces unsprung mass, enhancing acceleration, braking, and cornering while improving overall ride quality. The fitment is engineered to be plug-and-play on approved platforms — no clearance issues, no compromises.

Insights:

Meet the AWZZ, our best-selling forged wheel for Lucid Air / Tesla Model S / Acura TLX. But what does “forged” mean?

Forging transforms a single piece of aerospace-grade 6061-T6 aluminum into a wheel that’s both lighter and stronger than cast alternatives. We start from a forged billet, then CNC-machine the final design with precision. The result? A wheel that delivers sharper handling and enhanced durability for luxury performance sedans like the Air, Model S, and TLX.

In plain English, forged wheels are the heroes of the wheel world — lighter, stronger, and longer-lasting. Expect crisper acceleration, smoother braking, sharper handling, and reduced suspension stress.

We also subject the AWZZ to Finite Element Analysis (FEA) — a virtual stress test simulating potholes, curb impacts, and heavy cornering loads. That means potential weak points are eliminated before production, ensuring real-world strength and reliability.

Knurled Bead Seat: All Atomic Wheels forged wheels, including AWZZ, feature a knurled bead seat — a textured surface where the tire meets the rim. It prevents tire slip under hard acceleration or braking, improving safety and control.

Lightweight Hub Architecture: AWZZ hubs feature precision-engineered cutouts to reduce weight without compromising strength, further enhancing efficiency and responsiveness.

Hardware & Install: AWZZ wheels are compatible with OEM lug nuts and TPMS sensors across approved applications. Because our lug wells are narrower than OEM wheels, we recommend a thin-wall socket for installation to protect the finish.

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.
