Those Grand Cru ones are good-looking. My pick would be a black Nitto S83 for that Roadeo...but only 20mm setback according to Riv's site...don't know if longer setbacks are available, unfortunately. To my eyes they just rule...but if the setback doesn't work for you then it's a moot point...although Retrogression mentions 23mm....and 125.00 with free US shipping...only Silver, though :(
