The OpenSourceEV Parts Center Cap Mount for the Gen 1 Rivian R1T and Rivian R1S is a 3D printed snap connector that allows for installation of the center cap from the Rivian 21" rim aero cover directly onto the 21" rim itself. To use this part, unsnap the center cap (shown in picture four, on the right) from the aero covers you already own, snap them into this product, and insert into the open bit in the middle of the rim itself. Once installed, these are removable from the rim and reinstallable into the aero cover.
The caps detach from the aero cover by pressing the friction clip inward. (see picture 5) Make note of the two round alignment pins are on the yellow portion. (picture four)
Please note: Repeated install and removal weakens the material as it's designed to deflect like the OEM product. This may result in eventually losing a center cap. Additionally, when installed into the rim, they are in there quite tight and make take effort or planning to get out.
This product is use at your own risk. OEM center cap, rim, and Rivian pictured are not included.
These center cap mounts allow customers to reuse logo tabs from aero inserts on 21" wheels. Customers said they're "a great solution" and "highly effective," with easy installation taking about 30 seconds per wheel. Note that logo tabs are not included. One customer experienced missing pieces, and fit may not be as tight as OEM caps.
The OEM center caps are overpriced. I really didn't want to "invest" more in the 21" wheels so these were a great solution. Takes about 30 seconds per wheel to install. Thank you!
Center caps fit perfectly. Rims look much better without the covers, however there is an average 5% additional drop in charge in a 100 mile trip due to turbulence. A well made product and a good value!
I appreciate the perfectly specific design for this niche Rivian application.
They work great!!
This is a highly effective product, just note that it's inexpensive because it allows you to use your own logo tabs that are found in the middle of your aero inserts. Those inserts with the logo do not come with this purchase. (I was stupid and didn't realize that at first.)
Love these things. Very easy to remove the center caps from the aero covers and attach to these mounts. The mounts pop in - no problem.
Note: Don't try and remove the metal ring from the aero cover and insert into the mount. I ended up busting off one of the mount posts trying to add the metal ring. The seller didn't recommend I do this...I did it ony own.
The order was incomplete, the cap to fasten was include but the medallion is missing.
Hi Paul - Thanks for the review. As noted in the description of the product, these are to be used as mounts for the OEM center cap from the 21' wheel aero cover. The center caps snap out of the aero cap and snap into these.

These look so much better than the generic caps I bought on Amazon for $25. It does take some care to remove the logo from your aero shields, but look at the new cap to see how to remove them. A micro screwdriver works well. Also, make sure the plastic is at least room temperature to avoid breaking a tab if too cold. Well worth the money.
The 3D printed caps fit snuggly but not as tight as aftermarket ring-reinforced caps. However, aftermarket caps aren’t designed to hold the Rivian logo that can be popped out of the aerocovers. I’m hoping they stay attached over the many miles ahead. They look great!
