Default ACS Rivets

Does anyone have some ACS rivets they would be willing to sell ? I need 8 ACS rivets, the size is 3/16 diameter and .85 inch long.
Thanks,
DFA

I thought the ones from ACS might be special in some way. I know they are aluminum.

I used them on my ACS wickers. They’re just black anodized aluminum. They sell them on their site, but of course they charge Covette tax to the max:

I see that according ACS they are GM OEM rivets used for GM accessories so I'll also check the local Chevy dealer along with everybody's suggestions. ACS sells them in a package of 28 for $79.00, talk about the Corvette tax.....................
Thanks everyone for the suggestions,
DFA

You can buy these rivets at any GM dealership. Just bought some today at $14 each, yes they are expensive. These are specially for plastic etc. When they expand they are larger than your normal rivets.

You can buy aluminum rivets at most auto parts stores (NAPA, etc).
