Tom The lug nuts that were improperly tightened were on a rim I no longer have - that is the one that sustained damage to the lug nut holes. The rim in my photo is a replacement rim procured by the garage (from a seller in Denver) and is currently in place on my car. Now I am worried this rim may be the wrong type/style/size/offset (a disaster waiting to happen). I have noticed several threads mentioning 3 or more styles / types of rims each what I assume is differing off-sets. I never really understood the difference between them. 1) Which style / type of rim (the three digit number) ought I have on my 65 Riviera Gran Sport (I assume the one I photo'ed is a 895?) ? Where is this number found? 2) What is the proper offset I ought to have? (this may sound similar to question 1 above but inquiring minds want to know)

None what so ever. I have no idea if the dimensions of a 64 and 65 wheel wells are the same. I agree - Verde Green is a nice color

Now -- how the h3ll can you tell that!! - 🤔 -- calibrated eyeballs??!!?? BTW - that rim needed to be replaced when a garage neglected to torque the 5x lug nuts. The old (original?) rim was held on with 2 lug nuts and the holes were well and truly auger-ed out. I was lucky to find it and didn't know it was "off" by 6 years

These photos are from my 65 Riviera Gran Sport (made in December 64) -- may help. Sorry for the dirty tires/rims - I live on a dirt road.

How about a set of instructions covering how to fold the pieces and where (precisely) they fit. I bought a set of the carboard pieces last year (don't recall from whom) but haven't installed it yet

If I am counting correctly, that leaves 2 on your shelf. I'll take one - PM sent And then there was one . . .

Please see PM

I had SsnakeOyl do the belts for my 65 Riviera Gran Sport. Better than new but a$ other$ have noted, at a price. Got new retractor covers, the fancy carriage emblems, labels and new webbing First 3 photos are "BEFOREs" Next couple are as received from Ssanke Oul

I'll admit to reading/scanning the responses here but haven't seen mention of the mileage on this car. The Mecum ad states it has/had 810 original miles -- a VERY rare (and expensive) "option".

That works (I am not the seller) As of 1630 on 02JAN24 (in Colorado) it is still available https://www.ebay.com/itm/176080318630?hash=item28ff3470a6:g:4jQAAOSwJ5JlbzfS&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA4ECEIZeb5fDJhd67xQKbb%2FEHmZP2d7G7jv9Q85e2JOwiBB66wO7kmoHqM9SD3fgmqJf794LhwPi90%2BveyJzxB52z7Q6EmVSgL4hcxnxrShqZ%2BQdHyFmhSNX5LRaMa76TeHSqapv%2BY8g53ZFS7N92kFL2wg87Ndw6bifiseesTfyLG8oDtIZHOcYs%2FhRHa89hF%2Bx%2B1mwBeJVMIfWu4JSYw6bxBCnPezTdZKsTrR5thXV3Y35seihio00kXw0E17NqhQg9RWxmE9oUpT0np3%2FBtmlhZgrylxGGJQ3WLENpO1xC|tkp%3ABk9SR_7xssiZYw He is asking $325; Located in Manahawkin, New Jersey, United States
