Check my notch site at 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. > But now I can't seem to consistently get the brakes to release...i works on > the the rear brakes for an hour or so, and the first few pumps on one side > it seems to release fine, but the drivers side will not even spin under 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. > The divers side releases if I get under the car and release the pressure > with the bleeder valve. The front calipers also seen to be sticking some, 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. > casing...it sort of makes a "u" shape before it curve back to the insde...am I have had a car that has had a drum like this as well....I personally never had a problem with it.
