I noticed after a Discount Tire rotation that 2 of my aerodynamic cover center caps were missing. The Gear Store only lists caps without covers. Anyone know where or how to get the cosmetic caps?

Discount T not owning the prob.
3 calls back and forth with Riv service call center, no solution yet, not sure they know what an aero cover is.

I'll probably just pull off the covers if there is no easy solution. Don't give me guff for the dirty wheels, it just snowed!

Its likely not their fault, a failure of the product itself. When you remove the aero caps it flexes the cap and the pins holding the center cap come loose, when you drove away they likely flung off. The range impact is minimal, pop those babies off.

Why not just buy the whole aero cover. A lot of us (myself included) just have them collecting dust in the garage.

Yes, that is what Rivian suggested on my latest contact.
Just replace the whole aero cover, $85 each. No thanks. Will go aero naked.

If you go naked, you'll have to pay $25/tire if you want the new center caps for the wheel. They do not come with the 21's. Plus, your rims are probably already all scratched up as others have reported who left the aero covers on.

Mine are just collecting dust and I have zero intention of ever putting them back on the truck.

DM me and I’ll send them to you for the cost of shipping.

It's just funny that in today's online world you have to state "Don't give me guff for the dirty wheels, it just snowed!" 🙄
