That looks really sharp. Well done! Any plan for center caps?I added these to the LA Silver thread but I'll also add them here for additional reference:
LA Silver with 21" satin black powder coated wheels
I think the 21" wheels look great in black and it eliminates the "flower" design/effect that many people don't like. Personally, I liked the 21" wheels as they were, but I do like them better satin black.
Do you still have your aero inserts? Any chance if you do of posting a pic of the wheels with them installed?I did the same thing last week and love the look of the truck now. Tried putting aftermarket wheels and tires on but they rubbed. I figure in a year or 2 the aftermarket guys will start building some wheels to fit the Rivian odd ball offset and lug pattern. I just didn’t love any of the factory options and really didn‘t want to go up to the 22’s. I was able to get some black center caps from the service center
Do you mind sharing what that cost and how long it took?I added these to the LA Silver thread but I'll also add them here for additional reference:

For now I ordered generic black center caps and will add vinyl Rivian logos from a vendor. Once the center caps are added to the gear shop I’ll probably switch to those if they look nicer.
Total was $750. $150 per wheel plus a $25 per wheel mount fee (plus taxes). Took less than a day. Dropped the car off at 8am and it was ready by 3pm.
@twraps how durable are these vinyl wheel covers?
Thanks for posting that! Would definitely like to see that on a truck and with the center cap pictured.Here’s the tire with the aero inserts, unfortunately not on the vehicle…
Nobody knows, as I haven't been selling them long enough...I've been selling the 20" All Terrain wheel wraps for a couple of months and so far no issues. I use 3M auto vinyl so generally this is the go-to standard in wraps and it should hold, but as I said - I have no statistical reference yet, as it hasn't been long enough.
That's pretty tempting since my wheels would still be two-tone, just black and dark gray vs the silver. Plus if I hate it I'm only out a hundred bucks. Any chance you have photos of the black color installed on a wheel? Your video doesn't show a wide shot of the finished wheel at the end.
Unfortunately not yet...I am hoping some customer would post some photos with a review. Next time I get the R1T (soon) I will make some if nobody made them first.
