I like that they were made in a small shop in Portland, OR. Cool. I'll have to drive down there when I get them all stripped and shiny. Or may before I fix them up, too.

good and bad thing about Rivieras are that they have a low offset. 17-18mm offset. So they are pretty flush. Me likey flush, all german cars like flush, so when I see people with 2" to 4" narrowed beams and running 135-145 wide tires makes me want to vomit. Its my opinion, do what you want with your car, but in performance the wider the track the better.
