Is the bolt.pattem fairly standrd for the Rivian? Or did they decide to use some odd ball bolt pattern (like the TBSS lol)?
I wouldn't buy wheels unless I was certain that they had a use on the next vehicle if it's a lease. Moreover, keep in mind that EVs are largely leased right now, and it's highly probable the second hand market for expensive wheels that fit only a Rivian could be small.
Here's my litmus test. Can you, right now, find a set of used fancy Rivian wheels at market price and them sell before you can act on them? If not, well, you're probably going to be dealing with a set of wheels for a truck you no longer own in circa 2 years.
Leasing probably has helped too because you feel more "locked in" and have an end date. If you had bought, all these issues would be weighing on you more about how many issues it'd have later on, after all it's under a year old now and has this many issues, who wants to deal with that outside of warranty? But in a lease you're like "well, if I want rid of it, that costs me money, and I won't have to care about it after warranty". Kind of a nice feeling honestly.
