Haven't seen this finish on these wheels recently,which I prefer to the black paint treatment,for the 5-spoke look.
Has anyone done these in the latest finishes available today?
Seems the prices are low,understood they are cast.

I've seen these polished before. I think it makes the spokes look lumpy.

Sorry I have to agree with Mike. Those do match your silver scheme though.
I went the opposite direction and completely powder coated a set semi-gloss black.
BTW Im pretty sure Rivs have a raised petal, those appear to be some VW variant.

Not mine,like the look the unpainted wheel has,improves the Riviera style wheel.Too much old contrast when painted.
Needs a cover of some kind for the center hole,a faux splinemount?
I'm sure you're right about the raised spoke panel.

I had some Rivs with satin black centers/spokes and silver rims. They looked surprisingly good.
