Does anybody know how I can tell if these are real Riviera Wheels or cheap knock offs?
Thanks. George |

Those are called “Formula Vee” are were made before the Rivieras. The Rivieras were a knock-off of the Formula Vee design, but changed slightly to avoid design infringement issues. I believe the Formula Vee wheels are lighter than the Riviera wheels. I have a set of the Formula Vee wheels on my 1970 1.7L car. The wheels are 5 1/2J x 15.”
