riviera convertibles

I used to own a 1978 Buick regal turbo sport coupe that had the buick rallye rims.
My question is were those rims in any way optional for the 80's riviera convertible.
I like those better than the wire wheels I have seen on the ragtops but do not know
if they would be legit or not.

Re: riviera convertibles

Re: riviera convertibles

Thanks Jason
That basically answered my question. The Rallye rim is not a correct option for the Riviera. so if i put a set on it will not be 100% correct. My choice, I'll have to make if and/or when the time ever comes.
thanks again.

Re: riviera convertibles

As 79 started with front wheel drive, I doubt if they (78/earlier) would fit properly anyhow--offset, etc??

Re: riviera convertibles

Yes, the fwd wheels have a definite "offset" to them, which is highly different from what rwd vehicles of that time used.
