914 wheel question: rivieras...

What companies made the Riviera mag whees? Is there anything specifically to look for when searching for wheels for my stock '75 2.0? Where these a german rim that was also produced later on by a US manufacturer?

Thanks!

I don't know what company, but I don't think they are german.
they are made for VW's, and so most 914 owners po-po them.
I like them as another alternative wheel. there offset is usually for VW's so you can't get a very wide tire on them.

They are aftermarket VW wheels. Not correct offset for the 914. Most people think they are junk.....

I like rivs, a little more flashy than steelies and less $$ than fuchs.

with the 914 crowd, owning Riv's is just fine.

the problem is admitting it or posting pics of them...
