Got 4 1993 Riviera alloy wheels for $100, they look just like the 1991 wheel covers, how do you think they'll look on my 90 ragtop? The center caps need painted, I thought I might cover the center caps with thin sheet aluminum and polish it to match the wheels, glue a Reatta emblem in the middle. Heck, for that matter, the emblem may cover the R good enough.

Oh yeah, I've always been on the lookout for a set of these, I was thinking about some Mustang wheels to change the look, but a set of these are my favorite "custom" wheels for a 88-90 Reatta, those in the know will wonder if it's really a 91. My conv is Silver, I also always wondered what a set of these painted red would look like on a red Reatta, or color matching car/wheels for others, like Driftwood or Maui Blue.
