It appears that Lucas used this same part number for quite a long time.
We had some NOS rims in sealed boxes with this part number and although they
were the correct shape, they had no rivet. I did hear that very late BJ8's
did not have the rivet, but have not been able to confirm that, one way or
the other. We sold a pair to an owner on the west coast who was restoring a
BJ8 and his old rims had no rivet. No one could be sure that these were
original to the car or replacements though.
Cheers.......Bob
