Hello,
The PO installed 3 very good tires Centennial MKII and 1 very good Toyo 300 on my car. I would like to match the tires and have found out that these tires are no longer produced. I have checked around but no one has any old stock, I also called Toyo and Dunlop/Goodyear. I am assuming that the Riviera's are 4.5 in wide since the 165 fits well on the rim, is this true, if not what is the widest tire I can fit on the rim? Also were can I get tires for this diameter/width rim no one seems to carry 165R15's? I am working on other things on the car and eventually will go with a set of 5.5's (or larger) but just can't swing it now. Thanks, Dan |

Hi,
What do the spokes look like on your Rivs? Are they smooth and tuck a little "in" where they meet the rim? Are they smooth on the sides but with a flat panel on the outer face that is polished a bit? Are they rough cast all over, without a panel, but with a brushed look to the aluminum rim? Different wheels were manufactured for different cars at different times (although there is some cross over). TC |
