the owners of 914s equipped with riv's take an occasional jab on this board. even one of this month's very nice-looking "featured cars" has a token disclaimer!
i've got my own reasons for disliking them (and am finally getting rid of them on my own car), but i'd like to hear what other people have to say. afterall, if you've owned more than one 914, you've probably owned a set of riv's.... |

Some look different than others to me for some reason. I've had 2 different sets of riv's. I didn't like ones that came on my car but I swapped another set which I got for basicly nothing that I think look decent on this particular car. I'm still looking for a bargain on fuchs or a 911 front end for a 5 lug conversion but since I'm not racing, I don't mind the riv's until I get the cash.
