With the LE Dark series wheels having no discount, I am debating just taking the free 22s, and purchasing a nice forged wheel, such as Vossen or Vorsteiner. Anyone have any thoughts? 3,500 for a factory wheel option seems pricey, I think it would be more pallettable if the cost jump was not 3,500, but with the regular 22s being free to LE, it is a big jump. Any feedback would be awesome.

+ $1,700 for the same exact light wheels just in dark color is crazy!

Worse for LE. The base 22s are free, so it is 3,500 extra to get the same wheels in dark.

they are not free lmfao the 22's are $4500!

The bright 22s are free for LE orders, exactly like @Angus said in the post you quoted from 2021. And the dark are still a $3500 upcharge whether you have an LE or not.

Maybe you should have a clue what you are talking about before you come on here and try to correct me with your third post.

They can be powder coated for around $500-600 a set.

Have you had wheels powder coated @thinkink07? How'd they turn out?

Look at custom wheels like these and it should ease a little of the sticker shock. They aren't cheap - Team 1EV 20" Precision Forged R500 Directional Aero Wheel for use with Rivian R1T / R1S

A quick, cheap and even fun way to change your wheel color is with plastidip:

I don't recommend doing this after having it done previously. It was cheap and lasted the 3 years I had the lease, BUT, when it came time to take it off, it got 'brittle' over the 3 years and wouldn't just peel off like it's supposed to. So it took me forever to take it all off. On top of that, the inner part of the wheel doesn't get a good coating if you apply it with the wheel on like this. So you end up with light spray of it inside the wheel where you cannot get it off unless you take the wheel off.
