Ever since seeing them in the back pages of R&T in the early 90s, I've kinda always had a semi-ironic/mostly-sincere soft spot for the Ronals, which have long since been out of production (and couldn't have been more than at most 16s in their era). It has recently come to my attention that high-quality custom wheels can be fabricated, and in the case of my fabrication contact, with the unofficial guidance of some shall-go-unnamed inside contacts at Lucid to ensure fitment and suitability. Specifically, considerations are being made to the strength of the alloy formulation given the weights and stress of such a performance EV.

Despite how cool 20+ inches would look, I'm thinking 19s to keep ride and efficiency factored in. Beyond that, I think (as seriously as one can say this) the soft and bulbous curves of the wheels kinda suit the car, and maybe the drag generated by the wheels isn't going to be too deleterious given their dish-like flat shape. Besides, what could be more PLUR than this?!

Man, nostalgia makes people do weird things. I, personally, and very excited and will keep y'all posted if/when I have more than a hacky photo to share:)
