    I'm trying to get some ideas for some new wheels for my 65 Riv GS. Lets see your pics of your wheels.

    I know this aint a Riv, but here's what I currently have on my 70 GS.

    These are relatively inexpensive, add some chrome, but without being too flashy. I'm actually thinking of taking the center "moon" caps off and adding a simple chrome centercap and seeing how it looks.

    I'm looking into some Boyd Smoothie 2's. They have a good classic look.

    are you going traditional, custom or what? i think Keystones look awesome on a Riv. but for the new custom look, i like these :cool: or for the lowrider look the AR's with white-stripes are pretty sweet

    Hey Eric,

    Looking good! but be aware, theres a big deal going on about these wheels cracking between the spokes. all of the turbo guys that have the wheel have posted their experiences, and it seems like it a legit concern. Just be aware and keep an eye on them. BTW, I found this out AFTER I had bought them for the GN.

    Solids

    Polished solids are nice because you don't have issues with brake dust... Here's my example...

    I posted this earlier. I think it works on a Riv.

    If you aren't looking to go 20" rediculous, these 15's sure changed the whole tone of my ride.

    And only $100 each at Summit.
