I am considering getting my wheels powder coated black, but I didn't realize until i pulled the inserts today that underneath it is a gunmetal color that matches the el cap pretty well, and I was curious if anyone had painted the machined faces black but left the gray? Or simply used the twraps satin black for the wheels and removed the inserts. I would love to see pictures if anyone has any.

With the twraps vinyl covering
Perfect, exactly what I was looking for, do you have any other pictures farther out showing the full vehicle?

I like the S of the Chrome strip hidden away...it always seems to kind of stick out too much otherwise.

Here's a few pictures of the Twrap's gun metal vinyl, covering the spokes on my R1S. I also did the chrome strip alone the roof line in gloss black. (a little hard to see from the glare in those pics.)

That looks awesome, I like this more than the black/gray combo, but I think all black is going to be the best look for me with the el cap.

Thanks!

Agreed, black with the ElCap should match really well.

I waited too long to order the Rivian OEM center caps and now they are out of stock. Found a temporary set of black centers on Amazon for ~$18. Looks "OK".

I think I might put the aero covers back on this weekend just to see what it looks like. Will try to take some pics.
