I love them, personally, always have.
Is it just the funky backspacing or something deeper (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) Attached image(s)

well i dont know if they are the bug ones.but as far as i can tell they made several diffrent types of rivies over the years. the ones in trekkors photo are the later style they have cut edges and are clear coated,american raceing i belive.the ones in thomas photos are one of te early styles they didnt have a flat spot on the spoke.over the years ive seen just about every one they made (musta made a buttload of these rims) the two that made me laugh when i seen them was the one that was a steele rim with with the mag or alum face of a riviera on it.cheap ....cheap looking.the other made me really laugh was a riviera hub cap (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) so in its time it musta been a really popular wheel to get imatations like that made of it.i never really had a problem with the looks,they can be pretty good looking,depending on paint and polish.ive just found more appealing wheels to me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
