I'm only selling because I scored a set of 20's. Otherwise I would be keeping the 21's.

Very nice! You mention that you tried some aftermarket wheels/tires, but they rubbed. What size(s) did you try? Do you think 285s would rub on the 21"s? I know you didn't want to go with the 22"s, but since you've played around a bit and, if you don't think 285s would rub on 21"s, do you think they'd rub on the 22"s? Thoughts from anyone else would be appreciated as well.

My local tire shop tried to put some 4play wheels on it with .0 offset and 275 60 20. Going down to a 60 solved the issue of rubbing in turns but still stuck too far and rubbed the inside of the fenders on bumps and they flat out looked bad. All the wheels that had a +.20 offset rubbed the calipers. I haven’t seen any other options for 21” tires.

Man I love the look of the 21s with the covers removed and powdercoated black but I wish there was an AT tire available for the 21s. There's a bunch for the 22s with pics from another thread but the 21s with ATs would be awesome.

Below are the photos i promised, dropped off yesterday at 8am and picked up @ 4pm. Today I am doing the Window tint. If you want your wheels done contact Adimar ‭(714) 759-7795‬ Cell/Text

Looks great! Now i have to decide gloss or satin. What made you go with gloss? I'll definitely be going one of these routes...

I think the biggest reason is after time satin looks dirty and gloss black has a clean look.
Per the powder coating company 90% gloss vs. 10% satin finish.

Never thought of that. Love the look of the Satin but comparing the two is like having a preference of supermodel. Your truck looks amazing. That's the exact combo I'm after... in Satin.

PS having XPEL STEALTH wrap done this week, should be ready by Friday. Yesterday we (road trip) started at 90% we drove from Irvine to North Park San Diego and returned with 118 miles to go.

Awesome. I'll check in prior to getting the work done to see how it's going on the gloss. I think it looks really good, and I was thinking when I saw the satin finish that the gloss might look better. I think it does.

Be curious to hear the range delta you end up seeing w/ the wheel change...you may be the first to swap aeros to AT on a vehicle.

I'm terrible at tracking my range. I was averaging 2.5 miles per kWh in conserve mode on a 200 mile trip over the weekend. I'm sure I will take a hit with these wheels.

A positive side-effect of the 20's is that my speedo is now only 1-2 mph off. Where with the 21's it was off by 5-6 mph. IMO I think the trucks are all calibrated for the 20's which means those with 21's will be off a little more.

Unless the 20s are calibrated differently than the 21s thus having the same offset. I believe the Rivian official from Reddit said it was by design.

I went the poor man's route and added the twraps vinyl to my 21s to make them slightly less floral.

Coupled with the aero removal, have to say they don't look half bad.

Certainly going to get a set of steelies + ATs as soon as they are available, but am content with the upgraded look and retained efficiency for the time being.

Wow. That is a great pic of the limestone. Is that true to color. I have never even seen a rivian in real life. Went with limestone. If it looks anything like your picture I definitely picked the right color.
