Ghia came with these wheels - anyone know where I can get proper end caps for the wheel centers?

That's an original Riviera (2nd "generation") wheel- circa early 70s.
The inner hub diameter may be different than the current Empi (CIP-1) version. I have fat lip rivieras on my '71 and the ONLY source on this green earth was ISP West (pimppride here on TheSamba). The reproduction caps I bought from Alex are fantastic and fit the early rims perfectly. |

Thanks guys! This helps. I'm curious, where the Riviera wheels probably purchased with the car (at a dealership) or always added later?
I read something that suggested they sometimes came as an upgrade rom the dealership but I maybe misunderstood. |

The Riviera Mag Wheels were a Volkswagen Accessory and were first available in the 1970 VW Accessories Catalog. Could have been dealer installed or purchased at a later date. |

| Hey guys I dug up this old thread because I recently purchased incorrect center caps for Riviera wheels. Is there a current center cap offering for the OG riviera's? Thanks for any help |
