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

    Hey guys im the proud owner of a 1970 buick lesabre and i just got hold of a set of rally rims from a 1971 Riviera hopefully they'll fit let me kno if they won't felllas! Unfortunately the rims don't have the center caps and i was wondering what center caps are interchangeable with which rims and where i can find some for mine. I payed about 375 including shipping for the rims i got which are in pretty good shape feel free to let me kno if i got ripped off it'll hurt but i'd rather kno then not. Thanks for any input fellas

    71's (and up) won't fit properly on a 70 (66-70). Also the sizes for the caps differ 66-70: 2 1/8"vs 71-up: 2")

    The caps for your 70 LeSabre should look like these (here with Riviera emblem; should be tri-shield), but won't fit your wheels: [​IMG]

    Center caps on 71 and up look like these:

    They come all assembled. If you need a set of 71 up ones I have an NOS set for sale.
