i have em too, but there are a couple reasons why they are not liked
bug offset limits you to 195 tires, i had to roll my fender edges to clear 195's they are heavy, about 4 lbs per wheel more they are not as strong as typical porsche 914 rims, ie dont ax them they could break and the damn vw thing, i think most people see as a vw wheel so it brings up narp thoughts but i got mine cheap ( 125 for 5 rims ) and to me they look better than rusted steel rims, that came on my car |

It is purely a matter of personal opinion. Maybe some of the Riviera bashers are suffering from Fuchs envy? The 1st teener I owned came with Riviera's. It was a black car and I thought they looked great. I will admit they do not look as good on some other colors.
If you like 'em, that's all that matters. P.S. Welcome to the club. Post a photo of your car. |
