What rims are those? Damn that looks good! Will those really fit a riv or did you photoshop them on there? ...good job by the way. I'd give you an "A".

the rims are moda MD2 18x8's that fit directly to our rivs. I found them on TireRack.com for $215.

I´m new on the site, and I´ve noticed that most, if not all people have left on the original rims. Is this some kind of unspoken Riv rule? If not what rims have you guys seen on a Riv that look the best to you!?

Rims are cool, I would just rather spend that grand or so on go fast modifications, personally.

if you get those, however, I will worship you a little bit.
they are moda MD2's 18x8 - can be found on tirerack.com
The best i've seen so far, IMO but rims are really pretty diverse so I wouldn't be surprised if there were others that even I like better.

I wouldn't mind putting some nice aftermarket rims on the Riv, but I have 2 cars and 2 kids to spend money on too, so money for the Riv goes toward performance/handling upgrades. I think 17's is the biggest I would go for rims.

There are lots of good reasons for sticking with stock rims, not the least of which is avoiding the "ghetto trash" look. I don't see a lot of high end cars rolling on big rims (granted, where I'm living at, I don't see a lot of high end cars frown

) It's always a "big playa" in a $200 Caprice.

If it doesn't look like it could be factory, I wouldn't want it on my Riv. It is very very hard to find a rim that matches the Riv's style that well.

AA - sorry, but - ewww. Especially for the "Kazera" printed into the spoke.
