5 Riviera 15" x 5.5" alloy wheels (aka "Formula Vee" or "G.T. Mag Type")
These came off of a 1972 Car.
Wheels are straight and true.

This type of wheel were originally a VW Dealer installed option package from the Formula Vee accessory range. They were manufactured by Portland's Whitney Industries, Inc. and designed by co-owner Michael Gibbons. The actual casting was done by Pacific Light Metals Foundry from A356-T6 tempered alloy, a special aluminum-magnesium-beryllium-titanium alloy. "Lightweight and very strong."

They were originally made for the Riviera Motors owned Volkswagen Dealerships, a Beaverton, Oregon based regional distributor. Orig. part #X601 011

4 x 130 mm bolt pattern fits 1968-79 Bug, 1971-79 Super Beetle, 1968-74 Ghia, 1966-73 Type 3, may also fit other years and models with the use of wheel adapters.

Those are cool! I didn't know about the connection to the Riviera Motors dealers in Portland, OR.

Wow! Those take me back!! I had a set dealer installed on my 1st new car...a 71 Karmann Ghia Coupe...Adriatic Blue/Black Interior

Drove the Ghia 7 months and a lady backed into the nose So I traded it for my 2nd new car...a 72 914...only options Silver Met. paint, tinted glass and AM/FM radio....and I've been hooked on 914's ever since

Wish I could find that one!!

Thinking but most VW wheels have the wrong backset for 914s. Do U know the backset? Have U seen these on a 914? Thanks.

Forgot to ask. Will these clear the front centering ring?

I had a parts car trhat came with them, They are fine. I still have them sitting in the garage.

I ran them on my car for years. I had 195/60 on front and 205/60 on rear with no backspacing issues. There is plenty of clearance for the centering ring on front.

Working until Sunday. If still available ill come by then to look them over. I'll pm my number. Bill

Looked at these today and they're nice wheels. They're not what I'm looking for so there still open to buy.

Bump

You might think about listing them on Samba too.

Nice wheels

would you ship to Oregon 97702? can you quote that for me? Thanks

Unreal great price for very good VW wheels, but you could really do much better on a VW site as was mentioned earlier.
