| After a year of fruitless searching for the real deal, I finally bit
the bullet and bought a set of those aftermarket centercaps that have
no stylised R logo.
I went for the ones that have an "R" sticker on them. Apparently they feature improved mounting tabs.
I'd rather pay 49.99 for 4 repros than $159 cdn PER centercap at the stealership.
I'll let put up some pics when I get them on (probably early May) | |

| I received the centercaps today. I'll be installing them in May and pics will follow. I can't imagine someone other than a riviera owner knowing they aren't knock offs. The stylised R logo is just a sticker, not embossed. I can live with the $478.77 US dollars difference in my pocket though.
The pins in the back seem to be more sturdy than the flimsy plastic parts on the stockers. | |
