914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Riviera center caps

Posted by: r_towle May 12 2004, 07:49 PM

I have old style original rivieras without the ridge.

I need center caps and cannot find the right ones anywhere...

Dave D...I already bought some a year ago from you guys, but they are for the smaller new riviera wheels..

Anyone have a set???

Dave, HPH???

I also have a set of rivieras that need caps, I don't know if they are new or old style...Hell i didn't even know there was an old & new..

I have been going to measure the center hole to get the size, but thats on another to do list..

I just got a set and the stick on P-crests a month or so ago from...uh...AA.

They fit, with a little convincing

Had to really bend the little tabs to get em on.
My Riv's are a used set that are not matched.
Some caps went right on, others needed more.

Actually broke a tab or two but they stay on.

I also have not heard or old or new style Riv's.

I had the same experience with the last set as well as Empi 8 spoke's.

Ugh - Performance Products ( www.performanceproducts.com ) used to list them in their catalog and they sell the wheels too!

Guys - i went through this same drill not long ago....You need to measure the diameter of the center of wheel. The original (older) Riviera has a 3 and 1/4 center cap needed. The reproduction (new) Riviera uses the same cap as eight spoke EMPI. I found mine on e-bay, search Auto/Porsche/Parts. If you can't locate, e-mail me and I can dig-up the reciept.

Wheelo, I would appreciate it alot if you could locate some info on where you bought them...

Sure -
There are some still listed on e-bay, looks like same type/person I bought from. Check for item # 2477913386 , seller = (theandante).
good luck !
