For me...Trying to decide on wheels, so quick question: Why get the 21's and take the aero's off vs. just getting 22's?
This question is more for LE folks that get the 22's for the same cost as the the 21's. I assume the mileage gain from the 21's without aeros becomes less, and then you need to fool around with aftermarket caps, etc.
The 22's take a 5-10% range hit. That's roughly 15-30 miles. Considering a max pack adds 80 miles, that's roughly $3,000 to $6,000 worth of range (using post 3/1 pricing). Sure I take the hit without aero covers on the 21's but at least I have an option.
Around town, daily driving I won't need 314 miles. I'm willing to take the range hit for the significantly better looks. But when I know I'm going out of town, a quick snap of the cover and I get my full range. Less than 5 minutes of work and no extra cost.
