| Looks good dude. Gonna be easier to keep it clean. I just degreased the heck outta my engine bay and wire wheeled some rust under the air box. After that I painted it with some flat black rust preventer. I wanna crawl under the car one day and paint under the car with por15 | |

| Do you guys know if my wheels are stock Riviera wheels? I want to buy some center caps for them but I want to make sure I get the right ones. | |

| eBay would be your best bet, but expect to spend at least $100 for all four. It might be more worthwhile to just save up and get a nice set of rims on there. | |

| I love seeing a set of the factory chromes all still with their centers. Rare to see judging from the rivs I see driving around. DO be that guy | |

| These are the ones. I wonder how broken they are.

These will fit fine, but they aren't correct. They are great quality though. I have a set as back up.

| Larry, the centers in your post above, the first link, of the seven pictured one has one tab, five have two tabs, and one has three tabs. None of them have the metal ring on them, definitely not worth the asking price, actually not worth anything!
I have been watching that auction just to see if anyone was crazy enough to place a bid. | |

| That looks a million times better than before. I bet a few hours spent with a buffer and all the various cleaners and waxes would make it SHINE. | |
