    I understand some not liking the "poverty cap" look on a luxo car like the Riviera but I guess that maybe some have missed the satin or matte finish of the black paint on the car.I believe that it is a good look and would consider that car a very mild custom as it sits on those two pictures,not a resto job.Just my opinion,here's what I did a while back:

    I'm planning to use those wheels and caps on my '95 once I lower the rear a bit.Yeah,I'm biased:bglasses: .

    definitely looks best with the dog dishes.
    I think spider caps would be perfect though

    I like the shot with no wheel covers at all.
    Maybe because prior to painting my first 67 in plum, I drove it around in black primer and black plain wheels. Then for a short period I painted the wheels silver. :eek2: Needless to say everyone knew it was me. At that time I was 17 and was going for the redneck moonshine-runner look. :puzzled:

    TODD'S 67 Time for another Buick!

    Now I can't decide! Thanks! :grin: Probably either dog dish caps or nothing at all. That car looks pretty clean though, any rust issues?
