Video of 21" wheels with aero covers removed

[Scott]

Still not as nice as the 20’s but much improved. I would love to know if you can add back in the center cap with the Rivian logo and keep the aero covers off.

Would also love to know the range in conserve mode, on the 21s

This dude will be the reason Rivians will be band from any place that cares about preserving their surface.

Looks like flower wheels. No thank you.

Unpopular opinion, but I actually really like the look of these wheels. If it wasn’t for the odd tire size and free LE upgrade I’d have no problem with these.

The wheel design is literally a rip off the Rubicon wheel design, not sure why it is not popular on here.
Wait, it's an odd size...isn't the truck itself odd in so many aspects...the future can't look like present.

Do you not get a Rivian center cap when you buy the R1T or am I missing something?

"ordered back in 2020". ug...

I think you have to take it off to take out the aero inserts on the 21s. I haven’t seen a picture with the center cap without the aero inserts on the 21s yet.

I think it's all one piece, the center cap and the five panels. I bet someone (maybe even Rivian) will make a replacement cap only.

That makes sense. I also meant to say buy the 21's. I have yet to see a center cap with the 21s. Maybe I'd like it better with the cap. Without the cap it looks a little DIY to me.

Looks better than I expected. I still see flower petals first. No thank you

The plastic piece people hate so much is a plus for me. Aside from aerodynamic benefits, it saves my disks. Even with my ICE brakes that get used a lot more than R1 brakes, rust caused by rain bounding off of my driveway on disks is a problem for me. These covers protect the metal perfectly. And covers that attention seeking yellow helping rest of the R1 to be seen.

Empty parking lots exist only for donuts!

Rivian’s head of design last worked at FCA, jeep specifically
