Top Down Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 This is being advertised as a 1991 Reatta wheel. It is missing the outside ring pattern on the 1991 Reatta wheels which I have seen. Is it a replacement or ??? 1991 BUICK REATTA 16"X 7" ALLOY WHEEL 3524941 OEM /RF2/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ship Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 (edited) Looks like an after-market wheel....no black dots along the outside rim. Update: Possibly last generation Riviera optional wheels. Edited December 18, 2022 by ship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padgett Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 Identification marks are on the back side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Down Posted December 17, 2022 Topic Author Share Posted December 17, 2022 Here is the backside of the wheel. Says Canada ???? Is there a clue here as to what car model this wheel belongs to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alchemist Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 Looks like it was shot blasted to clean it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padgett Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 (edited) No I meant the BACK of the wheel, usually has the manufacturer. BTW I read that as a 16x7 with a 51mm offset. Edited December 18, 2022 by Padgett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Down Posted December 18, 2022 Topic Author Share Posted December 18, 2022 Here is the back side of the wheel. Don't see anything..............? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Didn't some newer Rivieras have a wheel like that without the fake rivets the Reatta wheel had? I thought they were chrome. Those on eBay look like they may have been sandblasted. Maybe they were originally chrome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both my previously owned '96 and '97 Rivieras had the optional chrome wheels that look similar to the one pictured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padgett Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Interesting, that does look like a GM part number 3524941 but have not found any reference other than the eBay listing.. Also says "made in Canada" but not a manufacturer & is on front, not back. Strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ship Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Looks like the last generation Riviera had this wheel as an extra cost option. Found a pic on the following website: OEM 1999 Buick Riviera Rims - Used Factory Wheels from OriginalWheels.com 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Down Posted December 18, 2022 Topic Author Share Posted December 18, 2022 I don't believe that this is a sandblasted chrome Riviera wheel as the center of the wheel has different casting info such as the word Canada and part number 3524941. I also checked other Buick models from the 90's and found nothing on this wheel. Does the reference to Canada imply something such as a re-purposed mold for manufacture in Canada by another company, not GM related..............?
