Rivian 21" road wheel center cap installation guide

They fit great.

If you want to get fancy you can buy some Rivian logo stickers from Twraps.com. I didn't want to pay more money to put more logos on my truck.

Seems like a “removal guide” would be handy too. How not to break your $35 plastic piece when rotating your 5 tires.

No kidding. Hopefully they revise that pricing when they're officially released in the gear shop.

I would imagine it would be something like:
1. Remove the wheel from the truck.
2. Push out the cap from the back side of the rim with a nonmarring driving device and a mallet.

So as I posted elsewhere, these Amazon caps don't fit 20s. They are infact different sizes. Anyone heard anything on 20s replacements?

You can buy them from Rivian. They have matte grey and glossy black available for sale. Contact Rivian Service to purchase.

I added the stickers, for me I didn't didn't want to paint them Gun metal grey to match the wheels and with the stickers you really don't notice that the caps are black. I went ahead and ordered the Rivian Caps, they dropped the price to 20 bucks so 80 bucks didn't sting quite as much as 140.00

OK, so not knowing that Rivian was going to offer the 21" wheel caps, I ordered a set from Amazon and installed them on my R1T. So tomorrow my "real" Rivian caps I ordered from the Gear Shop will arrive. Any clever ideas for removing the Amazon caps without taking the wheels off? I am not concerned about breaking the cheap Amazon wheel caps, but certainly do not want to damage the rims.

Drill a hole in the center, then use a pick/hook or even a small L-shaped Allen key.

Thank you. Just wanted to confirm that the drilling method would work.

No need to drill. I used a plastic pry tool (for interior trim removal), Amazon center caps popped out easily and I put the "real" caps in. Not a big thing but they make a huge difference.

Glad that worked for you but it didn't for me. I safely drilled them and used an allen wrench to pry them out. They still did not come out all that easily.

However, the new Rivian wheel caps are awesome!

To confirm, there’s no safe way to pull these official caps out from the front once installed, right? Seems like prying or suctioning would risk breaking the retention clips.

I am curious if people have used any glue to keep these center caps in place? Based on the installation instructions I feel like these might come off over time. Any thoughts? https://rivian.com/gear-shop/p/21-in-road-wheel-center-cap https://assets.rivian.com/2md5qhoea...d-wheel-center-cap-install-en-us-20220810.pdf

All center caps are like that. They need to come out for tire mounting equipment, FYI.
