I'd like to buy a ver early set of rivieras. The non black paddles with the correct offsets (not bug)

The more local the better but let's see what you have

Tia!

I think I have ONE of the real early ones. I'll check the offset.

Hey Brant,

IIRC the very early Rivs were only in black backgrounds with the polished (or brushed) trapezoid section at each spoke, but many stripped the paint or repainted the early ones.

Later on they had the unpainted & then gold painted initially, but the gold may have been VW offsets for the Super Bug crowd.

The way to tell the originals is they have a smooth rim with no lip, requiring the use of adhesive tire balancing weights. They came in both polished (most common) or brushed aluminum finish (like on mine in the avatar if you click it larger).

good Luck!
Tom

The early rivis are called formula vees and theres a set on the samba right now for under 200 bucks

I have a set. PM me your email, and I'll send you pictures.

Mark,

if I find a set I might be interested in a 5th for a spare.
thanks for your time

and thanks for all of the leads guys!

It ain't real pretty, but it should clean up and be good enough for a spare.

Should I bring it to the RT-66 (if someone can drop it off with you on their way home)?
