  1. Stay far away from the repops from opgi.  Complete garbage.  I can't believe they even had the balls to offer those.  I had one customer buy one set, and after seeing them, I refused to put them on.  Would require substantial reconstruction to work, if at all.

  2. E, PM me, will help guide you through the lowering.  I have slammed about 5-6 Riv's with different heights/springs/wheel-tire combo's and can give you a lot of insight.  FYI, dont bother w/ 18in wheels.  Go 15's or 20's.  Anything else really does not look right.

  3. It should be possible, epoxy will be your friend when you put it back together, or start searching for simiar rivets to reassemble correctly. It's potmetal, though.  Only a handful of guys can restore that and rechrome it and have it come out ok.  The machined serrations in the center will be the impossible part.  If you do buy one, make sure the serrations are not pitted. In the end, I guarantee you will have $400-500 in chrome money invested.  

  4. Selling one of the nicest factory 63-66 Buick Riviera Wildcat Skylark Wood Steering Wheels you will ever find.  I have had this for years, saving for a project, but decided to go a different direction.  It's complete and nice except the horn bar will need repair(broken, as most are) or just buy one of the new repro horn bars coming out.  It's a pretty exceptional wheel, nice bright brushed spokes, wood is amazing and still nice and tight.  Hub is complete with all original internals. ,The button is really, really nice.  Pics show it pretty good.  $SOLD

  5. Thar is a nice looking wheel!  Just a note, finding a mint plastic black 65 steering wheel is harder than finding a mint wood wheel.  I have only seen a few for sale years ago. Another option is having yours wrapped in leather by good shop.  I have seen it done on Caddy wheels and it's nice.  Just a thought.
