Killer rims on closeout at Tirerack.com 20st3silver_cropped

Hot 20's for 139 ea, you can't beat that. Get them while they last - 18's are already gone. 17's are still available for $116 ea.

These (20s) should be about 6 lb heavier than stock with the tires mounted. If you've done the F-body break mod you'll only be 3 lbs heavier than stock in the front - not bad!

I'd get these but I'm feeling the chrome a little more - no rush on those.

(AA I gave this it's own thread so the maximum number of members would see it. Maybe you can wait a few days before merging it into the main rim thread?)

These are easily one of my very top rim picks for the Riv. If they had the chrome rims on sale at closeout price I'd be moving heaven and earth to get them.

I agree that they look like they could be factory for the Riv, and yet they're also reminiscent of an AMG Mercedes rim. Just a great, great fit for the Riv at an excellent price.

I like those Jack, but I didn't think you were much a fan of 5-spokes. Change of heart?

If those 18"s were still in stock, I'd snatch them up!

AA - They've got "less than 3" 18's in stock, but they're for only $89! If I were you I'd get however many they've got left and order a 3rd or 4th one elsewhere. 1010tires.com has them for 160.99 - you might be able to beat that price if you search long enough.

Go for it!

Yeah I'm usually not a fan of five stars on the Riv, but every now and then one comes along that works. Deekster's work, and so do these.

I was just looking at the chrome versions and now I think the silver paint looks, well, not as good. Waiting until the chromes go on sale.

I see what you're saying, but Deekster's are silver and they look good.

They are also Borbet rims, have you seen the price of new Borbets?? Yikes! These I found used and if you look close the surface has minor pitting. I wanted chrome rims too, but I really like these.

The ones you posted are pretty similar looking!! (hmmmm)

Hard to find a place that sells Borbet rims.

This Borbet Type B might look good on a Riv -

I REALLY don't like the 5 spoke look on a Riv, you gotta go 7+.

Those are exactly what I have, except mine are 17x8"
I can post some pics if anyones interested in getting those.

Looking good codith! i think 18s would look slightly better but those still give the car a good sportier look.

Tony, 18's would have been my preference but I got these for a price I couldn't refuse. The primary reason I got wheels was for the sake of the tires and 17x8 delivers.

Jack, the holes are there to make sure they don't look like Deekster's Borbet wheels - actually I have no idea

Travis, every single absurdly hot, young, single, white girl in IL knows they are ballin benz wheels and therefore a ballin benz vehicle that they are unexplainably drawn into.

Perhaps the Borbets are themselves AMG Mercedes clones?
