I got a second set of wheels with my 74. Seller said they were magnesium Rivieras. The gold color is interesting. Anyone know anything about them? Here is a front shot:

Here is the back. Different construction on the spokes than the other Rivieras I have:

Yup...Rivs....

NOT!

Bug wheels. Riv's have a Raised polished "petal"
Those are 15 x 4.5? I have both in my shed and they are QUITE different.

Late Riv's

Rivs have at least four different models....
Pelican Rivs

The site above shows the early Riv....

Those are early rivieras. Somewhat more valuable than regular rivieras to the bug crowd. Definitely not magnesium. Sell them on thesamba and buy yourself some real wheels
