New rim option for the Air?

I don’t dislike any of Lucid’s wheel designs. But I agree, ALL three Gravity wheels are great looking. Partial to the big Aether 22/23s myself. Though I’d probably compromise and get the 21/22 Orions. They are similar to the 21 Air wheels I don’t love. But they just look better on Gravity to me.

I like the Aeronaut wheels and may get them to replace the 21s on my replacement AGT. I have driven on the 20's and 21's on loaners and will be getting a 2025 AGT with the 21's, as my car was just declared a total loss from a rear end collision a month ago. I loved my 2023 CS/SC AGT with 19s and had planned to keep it for many years. I like the original 19's, although the staggered 20's are to me the most attractive. Yes, the turn in for the 20s and 21s is better, but the 19's perform quite well on public roads and can be fitted with winter compound tires. The 20's may also have winter compound fitment. Performance and range aside, wheels are subjective. The thorny question is what to do with slightly used 21's with tires and pressure sensors?

I know that on this forum we have forgot about the Air already, but has anybody noticed that for the 2026 Airs, a new rim option has been added?

Good catch! Thanks for spotting and bringing to the forum's attention.

Yes. Everybody has their won preferences. I prefer the following:
1.my 21's
2. 20's
3. GTP's
4. 19"s
5. and lastly the Dream Wheels which to me the Zig-Zag design is a misfit with the smooth lines of the Air.

Ouch. I have and like the Dream wheels.
Initially I thought they were okay, but then decided I liked the distinctive design.
Now I love them, and know to insiders they just say "1,111 hp coming at ya..."

I live in NJ and the problem with anything other than the 19s is that I need all season tires. Sure, I could buy winter tires and change them out every season, but that’s a bit ridiculous IMO.

Coming up on 4 years ownership of Air GT and have to agree with the inconvenience of swapping wheels/tires twice / year because of seasonal weather. However, for a car enthusiast, the low-profile, soft, summer rubber is so worth it. I mean, if you know, you know. The 19" A/S are a necessity here: the roads are notoriously bad in the most unexpected ways. I've had my way with all-season performance rubber: meh ...
