Not speaking from experience , from what I've read on the forum about wheels , the later repops some times take a lot of weights. You might contact Chris Foley - Tangerine Racing , he makes a set of centering rings for 914 hubs which center the wheels a lot better than the lugs do , some guys have used these with good success , YMMV...Good luck...

If they say DOT anywhere on them, they are not 'real' Rivieras..... ask me how I know.
