    The automobile looks fine to me.

    whatever you like, enjoy, and have fun in is what it is all about. The stance is strong, real strong.

    Thx Red. Was able to get some feedback from some other posters as well. Seems like a hassle, going to leave it the same.

    Just wanted to pass this along. If any of you are in the market for new Riviera wheels and are finding it difficult to find a good set of original rallye wheels, i came across these last week from US MAG wheels. These are new for 2018, they are OE replica rallye wheels. They look really clean and can be made anywhere from 14 inches all they way up into the 20s. And unlike alot of other aftermarket Buick wheels, these can be made in 5x5 bolt pattern that we need to fit on the Riv's, not 5x4.75. 

     

    Now a word of caution, these bad boys are pricey. I called into Discount Tire to get an estimate as you have to go through a US MAG preferred dealer. The guy on the phone let me know these will run $775............per wheel!! So out the door, it was going to be $3,400 just for the wheels including the lug nuts, not including rubber which will easily put you over $4,000. 

     

    Discount did tell me that these are CNC'd and custom made to which ever specs you want them. I know the original color in the middle section is black, but he said you can also get it color matched to whatever color you want, just have to provide the paint code. So you can get it matched to the color of your car. These were out of my price range, but wanted to pass along to my fellow Riv owners if any of you were interested. 

     

    Here are some pics and a link to their webiste for additional details: http://us-mags.com/wildcat-u444-w-11243.htm

  3. Here is a pic of my 65. Had it for over 10 years now. Very fun car to drive around town. Looking to put some "reverse" style Supremes on there next, if any of you have experience with reverse style wheels, any advice would be appreciated. Mainly want to know if there is anything on the car that would need to be modified. Thx.
