3 of those are riviera with the squares machined and polished off. the 4th wheel is a formula v wheel (the far right) |

may I ask how you know this ? they look exactly like the set I polished and painted back in...the 90's
it's possible I sanded off the raised squares as I didn't ever like them and had a hard time finding them for some reason. this pic as I mentioned was posted here from a seller in Oregon. I sold the ghia I had them on to someone at Bug Haus up here in Seattle so it's very possible they were sold at a bug in and went to Oregon. they were on a 71 yellow vert ghia.
heh, I guess I don't really dispute exactly what they were or even if the one unpainted wheel was part of my set. :lol: |

| "thin lip" vs "fat lip" on the mags....I'm curious. What years? Why the two official versions? |

the fat lip ones are a steel wheel with a mag/aluminum front half.
i have always seen them on 68-69 cars and the later all aluminum ones on 70-72 cars |
