looks like the cad file was too small and it didn't cut the full size of the wheel...

I hate to say this as there are only a few options out there but this design looks unfinished and I really dislike it.
Too busy. Too flat (probably good for aero).

I actually want to see how they’ll look on a Rivian, but 4k is pretty steep.
yep. need to see these on a vehicle in the right color with K02s
as for design, it's the classic 7 spoke pair "mesh" design … famously "perfect" on everything from Le Mans cars to Porsche 911s.
The wide face on the rim is presumably a combination of aero and off-road tough.
I'd suggest having the wide aero cover as a removable/sacrificial face plate in plastic (less weight and the option to run without it so the wheel can look like a full 20.

Didn’t watch this video but they are on famous Kyle’s truck here. Weird he put on the 34in tires on instead of 33in considering his truck came with the 22’s. Maybe he mentions Rivian updated his truck?

Curious to see if those have any impact on range. $1000 a pop per the video

Has anyone mounted TPMS sensors on these? My tire shop is saying there's not enough clearance for the sensor and that the bead can easily crash into it.

Is the valve stem sticking out of the face of the wheel at the bottom of the wheel in the pic above? If so, I don’t think I’d take them on a rocky trail..

With the exposed lug nuts, 14 spokes on a 5 lug wheel always looks weird to me. I notice that the manufacturers with wheels that have number of spokes =/= a multiple of the number of lugs usually show the wheels in the position where it’s symmetrical side-to-side to minimize the appearance of a mismatch.

Look at the bolts relative to the spokes here:

Trying to like them but the valve stem is a major potential failure point to me from my off road experience (in Jeeps).

And thanks to @SoCal Rob this comes out of me now...

I saw these on Saturday. They were on an R1S at the Denver Service Center. Nice looking IMO but, as others have mentioned, that valve stem is a non starter. It’s a shame because I think these would look outstanding on Launch Green.

Pretty sure that was mine you saw. 😅
