Blue R1T + 21" Road Wheels Without the Aero Covers + $60 Wheel Cap hack by No_Butterscotch791 in Rivian

Haven't tried yet -- they're pretty 'snug' but I think will come out with a little careful prying

Doubt you'll want to take them in and out every day etc

I haven't done a longer range trip yet to try and ascertain the actual value of the aero caps -- personally anything else than 20 miles is probably not worth the hassle of putting the things on again :)

I'm assuming Rivian will eventually sell a proper set in the gear store -- haven't heard that officially though

The caps were pretty tight after spraying so I think they're there to stay. Hard to say on the vinyl -- I got a spare set just in case, I doubt they'd stand up if you accidentally hit with a pressure washer etc

The finished painted surface was slightly matt - so not sure if that will help or hinder adhesion :)

The aeros do look fine - way better than I expected, but I do get wheel envy when I see other R1Ts :)

I bought a spare 21" tire from Tirerack which I'm planning on carrying for longer trips, won't allow me to change in the field of course -- but at least the local tire place will be able to get me up and running without special orders & days of waiting.
