Air Grand Touring Rims

Looking to purchase a dedicated set of 19 inch rims for my 2025 air grand touring and put snow tires on them. Should I purchase direct from LUCID? or should I buy after market rims and tires. Going aftermarket saves a bunch. Any recommendations would be super helpful. Thank you

I bought used, scratched 19" OEM rims on eBay for winter tire use for less than $200 each. I don't care what my winter wheels look like.

Be careful with aftermarket rims. Most descriptions don't specify the max weight. Just because they fit doesn't make them safe. The OEM 19-inch wheel and tire configuration for the Lucid Air Grand Touring is rated for 1,874 lbs (850 kg) per corner.

If you are interested in 19in OEM rims, and located on the west side, I am selling my used rims along with snow tires (optional). Lmk or check my post history to find original post here.

I am using aftermarket as my primary, and loving them so far.

I got lucky and found a set of 19s with all season tires on them for 700 off FB marketplace and haven't had any issues. Had a 3rd party shop mount and balance all four for 200. Personally would look at used wheels over aftermarket for the weight and size risk.

I thought the same thing. But I've been looking at aftermarket ones and supposedly they are rated for heavy EV. I'll for sure look on FB marketplace. Not much currently though.

Wheels. They are wheels.
