Perhaps they are after market riverias? I dont know, but they certainly
looks like riverias in the picture. I have never seen a rim that looks like
a riveria but isnt. The only thing I can think of is that they are
knock-off.

Is there BAD surface rust all over the internal workings of the brakes? I
would sand everything down if there is, or bead blast it if you can. If not
just squirt everything down with someWD-40 or other substance.  Is there
surface rust on the inside of the drums? If its bad enough you might want to
have the drums turned.

Did you rebuild all of the cylinders? front and rear? Calipers dont really
return, much. Disc brakes dont have springs like shoes that pull them away
from the rotor.

I have had a car that has had a drum like this as well....I personally never
had a problem with it.
