riviera convertibles

[Guest AlK]

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.

Which one of these wheels are you referring to?

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.

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

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