| Mooneyes, smoothies. They're just wheelcovers that you can either screw in to the wheel, or clip on like a hubcap. You'd be better off with the screw in kind. | |

| http://www.hubcapmike.com/vintage_hubcaps.html It would look better than the rather ugly silver painted wheels. I think the aluminum mooneyes would look good to go with the rounded look of the riv...very unique. | |

| I can get these 18's for 1100 after tax. Tires included with roadside hazard assistance. Normally priced at 1600. They have sort of a Z06 look to them. Good deal or should I keep looking? | |

| They sorta look like something you'd find on a truck. It's hard to say how they'd look on your car. What kind of tires are they? | |

| I think 18's would look good. The 20's on the CarDomain page that Jim found are TOO big! Have them put your Riv on a lift and try a wheel before you mount them to see if you like it. | |

Now I think that looks SHARP! But I have a preference to five spoke wheels, I have them on both my Harleys'. | |

| 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. http://www.tirerack.com/upgrade_garage/WheelSearch.jsp?autoMake=Buick&autoModel=Riviera&autoYear=1998&autoModClar= | |

| 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. | |
