| Save the first ones for your 80's Caprice lowrider. the 2nd ones are better. They might even look good, but it's hard to tell without a pchop. | |

| personaly i dont like either option. an 8 or 12 spoke design in chrome would look good IMO, but i like the look of my calipers and rotors, it's the details that set a car off. like a little bit of red behind the chrome and some performance parts in the background maybe its just me but when i look for rims for my riv i look at cars with similar design (like jag XK and aston martin DB's) and see what rims they have. i look for something that looks as if it could have been factory, nothing too flashy or distracting from the rest of the car. _________________ 1996 with 254k miles, L32 4" FWI -> ported N* -> Ported Gen V w/3.0" Pulley, Stage 3 Phenolic I/C, ZZP FMHE, 1.84 RR, Headers and 3" pipe to mufflers, F-body brakes, and lowered on Eibachs. -RIP AMG C400 White on black.

[url] I don't think those will fit too well with the Riv. But someone always has to be the first to try things and prove people wrong. | |

Open rims are cool just make sure you've got nice brake hardware to show off. - Mr.Riviera wrote:

I think most rims are junk for just that reason. There are too many crazy overworked designs out there which are all bling and no class. | |

| a bit too garrish for the clean line of the car, but that is just one biased opinion. | |

| I went with these from Tire Rack last year when I couldn't hold air in 3 of 4 of factory rims even with GM recommended procedure to seal them. $87.00 each and no problems since. Stayed with 16". I wanted to stay car wash friendly with a taller 16" tire too.

| I like those. A nice sporting look, and it fixes the problem without breaking the bank... and you keep your old tires.

| I have KMC Gnome rims on my Riv, not sure if you can still get them or not since they were put on the car back in '99. I don't think you can go wrong with a nice 5 spoke on Rivieras. My Riv looks a million times better with these rims than it does with the factory rims. | |

| For me, since my car is black, defiantly have to go with something black that resembles BBS rims. and hopefully light for a 19"-20" rim. | |

| I'll get the windows tinted some day. I've been putting it off because I dunno if it'll look too good. Sometimes tint takes away from a good looking car.
