This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

68 Riv Road Wheel Center Caps

    Hi,

    I was just wondering what the center caps for the 68 Riviera wheels should look like. (I called them Road Wheels, not sure if that's the proper term, I'm talking about the chrome steel wheels) The caps on the wheels on my 68 are sort of silver with a Riviera emblem behind a clear plastic cover. Were the chromed steel wheels an option on the 68 Rivs? Thanks for any input!

    Questions...

    Hey there,


    I have a few q's.:confused:

    1) how do you read tire measurements?

    2) what affect does the size of the tire have on gas mileage?
    (have an idea, just not refined) :Do No:

    Thanks, :TU:
