hey i have a set of riviera's and i wanted to know how to detail them. maybe paint them, leave them raw except for the lip was a thought, but i could use some pics to make up my mind.

thanks

btw, the ones i have don't have the raised square part on the spokes.

Are they originals or repops?

On the right car with the right treatment, I found it quite nice.

I've always liked them blacked out except for the outer lip.  I'm lazy so I went with the rattle can/scotchbrite method, but if you are into that kind of stuff they look good with real paint and polished all the way from the lip up to the spoke.

if i had the ones like shubee has i would paint the outer parts of the spokes in the bodycolour,but they are the flat ones  like the others have shown. i really like them, but kinda hate to have them polished fully... they have been sanded except the lips and the centers. maybe i can polish up the lips and centers and leave the spokes raw. but i  am not really sure how that would look.
