Bought my truck with the 20" ATs for light-off roading and forest service roads in the spring through fall. I live in a wintery place, and am thinking I will get a dedicated set of winter wheels and tires (like I have for every other vehicle I've owned). On my Model 3, I have non-aero wheels for summer, and I put the OEM aero wheels on for winter to keep my range hit less. I'd like to do the same thing on my R1T; however, the 21"s of course don't have any choices for winter tires, so I'm looking at a second set of 20" wheels for winter.

I've heard of the Dodge 2363 wheels, and am also keeping a loose eye out for 20" OEM Brights...

Wondering if any after-market company is making (or planning to make) an aero 20" wheel?

Or perhaps there is enough demand to see if Rivian would make (commission) one?

EV Sportline makes aero inserts for the 20" standard ATs. They also have custom aero wheels but they are quite expensive

From what I've seen they don't appear to help. Having said that, no one appears to have done controlled tests either...

I’m shopping as well. The EV sport line load rating is a little lower than I would like since I do haul loads from time to time. Martian wheels has an aero set but it’s at $750/wheel right now…
