Riviera wheels in fair to good condition. These wheels are 15 inch by 5.5 with the Porsche 914 offset. They are 1 inch wider than the Riviera offered for bugs. Bolt pattern is 4 x 130mm typical to 4 lug VW bug, Beatle, karmann ghia, square back, notch back, type 3, type 4, Porsche 914 and Porsche 924. A little elbow grease and you will have nice alloy wheels for dirt cheap. they were on a forest green car and are painted to match that car. make me an offer I cant re-use. c'mon, insult me. I dare ya.

Sean - those look like the "brushed aluminum" finish which are on the ones which I have on the set on my 73 914-2.0 since 75 or earlier.

To check, it will have tiny parallel ridges on the unpainted aluminum areas.

If it is the brushed finish - for those potential buyers out there:

A. - These are the true original Rivieras made for the 914, based on the smooth angled outer lip of the wheels at the tires (later "fake"/repro Rivieras have an up-turn "L" at the rim edge). Although he doesn't show the original plasti-chrome center caps with the "R" logo, there's a pic of mine below for reference.

B. - The brushed finish were far more rare than the polished version, if you like the "satin look" finish. However, they were all aftermarket wheels - not a Porsche/VW factory option (although some dealers sold them back in the day).

C. - The finishing process is different than for the polished version, wherein you'll need to clean it up with 000 steel wool, a fine wire brush or wheel to get the oxidation off, then polish to satin finish with Simichrome or similar chrome polish, etc. However, you need to be very careful to neither brush/polish off those tiny brushed ridges, nor to deepen them with the wire brush/wheel.

Pix of my polished aluminum Riviera alloy wheel with center cap:

The original background areas' color on these was a satin black as shown on these, but mine are a bit rough & haven't been cleaned - let alone redone, & have sat in my garage with my 914 on blocks for 24 years, after 13 as a DD for me & orig. owner before me.

The pix above give you an idea of how & where to repaint the background at the rim & spokes, as well as the center cap design (repro replacements are available from vendors at TheSamba.com classifieds).

Hope this is helpful to all interested.

Good Luck Sean! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

PS - if they are indeed brushed aluminum finish, then they're probably in much better condition than Sean thinks guys & gals - and should clean-up very nicely for a reasonable effort!

Your mother dresses you funny. There is your insult. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif)

Those wheels appear to have the correct offset for a 914 which allows the use of wider tires than most of the VW offset Riviera wheels will allow.

Free bump.

Sean - you can already tell that those are the original Riv's by comparing the rim edges to mine. What you need to do is get a close-up of or just look at & determine if yours are brushed alum or polished (smooth) finish.

BTW - IIRC "OG" = "Original/Old German" but Riv's were American mae IIRC (not German in any case).
