uke:
you can do better than that! they are OK, but just really do nothing for a statement or excitement area, MHO of course. get some 2.0l at least if you are going to stick with 4-lug.

I think that rivieras were just an aftermarket wheel that lots of people put on 914's.

I thought it was a rare option for the early 914's. I have a set of riviera's for sale that need to be re-finished. $80 plus shipping...

i would stick with what you have and save the money for what you really want to spend it on. but for the $80 bg wants, get 'em, put some elbow grease into it and paint them yourself (all black).

I did a set of the original Rivieras for my son's car, painted them with hammer paint all but the lip, looks like powdercoat.

I just measured them and they are only 4.5" wide. I thought they were all 5.5" wide. You measure the distance between the inside of the rim lips. Bead to bead right.
