| I've tried that route. Unless you have $1600 laying around for new ones, you won't find them. They're made by Alcoa (makes all the GXP wheels) and discontinued. | |

| Subject: Stock S/C wheels are growing on me.... Tue Jun 25, 2013 7:14 pm | |
| Not looking for any validation, but just sharing ...anyway, as some of you may recall, I've been looking at replacing the stock 16" S/C wheels with some 2006-10 Lucerne 17" wheels, which I like quite a bit. And I've had one of the Lucerne wheels fitted to the rear for a couple weeks now to see how I like it. I think the Lucerne wheel looks right at home and it does look more "sporty", but as I've taken the time to actively take in the look of the Lucerne wheel, I now find that the stock wheel is growing on me too. Yes, the stock wheel looks a bit chunky and reflects its vintage, but the Lucerne wheel with its radial "spokes" also has become a very common style of wheel in the last few years. Before looking at this style wheel for the Riviera, I hadn't really noticed how many other OEM wheels have adopted this look.... but they are everywhere However, the "chunky" Riviera wheel is a real standout (as is the Aurora wheel) and looks like nothing else on the road. And of course is properly branded wth the R logo And I can get a refurbished Riviera wheel for $120, free shipping, and is 5-6lbs lighter than the Lucerne wheel. *sigh* Choices choices... Guess I'll keep that Lucerne wheel on for a while longer. I may buy one of the refurb Riviera wheels and see how nice one looks "new". Al | |

| I think they would look great! Any thin 5 spoke looks great on a Riv, or just about anything IMO. I dont know if the fact that its a staggered set would be odd or not. I wouldnt be sure where to put the bigger wheels lol | |

I really think that the styling of the Riv could pass as RWD if someone didnt know | |
