I love the A-Molds on a ZR-1, I have both also and just change them out when I want a different look.
Have a-molds in both Silver and Black + the saw blades LOL

I think I might just throw them both up for sale and which ever one sells first I'll keep the other on it

Yup. Keep them all! I have two sets of a-molds (one NOS), set of sub 10 mile sawblades, set of salad shooters, and a recently acquired set of prototype 89 rears.

Sawblades if you have stock brakes. A-molds if you have some painted calipers/fancy rotors. I also have both for a 91. I think bigger wheels (c6 or later) need bigger brakes. My opinion. Trying to sell both and seeing what sells first is a good idea, but I would figure a-molds would have more interest.

The 91-92 wheel is the best wheel on a Corvette,my favorite. It took me about 6 years to put an NOS set together but the A-molds are a close second. As stated use both,when the stock wheel starts to get old throw the A-molds on there. I’ve got HREs on my car but have been thinking about throwing the stock wheels back on the car for a change.

I am a fan of the A-Molds. I think that design is timeless and it shows off more of the brakes and rotors. I think it has more of a competitive look. I have the original sawblades for my '91 sitting nicely in the corner of my garage, just in case I need a spare.

I have a molds. I like them. But it’s kinda like tattoos. They don’t stand out because everyone seems to have them. I suggest an aftermarket rim or sawblades. It’ll look good whatever you do. I would like some 1990 polished sawblades myself.

That's why you keep both sets, best of both worlds.

Ya I think I'm going to actually throw the amolds up for sale to help me fund "justify" a pair of fm-5s 😁😁

So if anyone is looking for a set let me know. $1500 sounds fair

The only stock wheels I like are A molds, but with room and budget a variety to swap by mood is nice.
I want a set of these Welds for my car but now I’m overseas and shipping is crazy expensive.

Hey Chris, If you did consider something like this, would you go polished or with some black on your Polo Green?

Probably polished. I've had blk wheels on a few vettes but they're kinda played out imho

I hear you on that. I was curious of your thought and agree with polished and your color.

Ya the blk doesn't set well on green. They might look good on red or even black car but not green

I see we have similar taste. My Dymag Gen IIs in black with red pinstripe looked good on my red 90Z with the black belt line trim. Not so much on my Black 95Z. I’m stuck with them as the shipping is a bit much to sell them unless I can get someone to send me some new Welds for trade....?

I have saw blades on my 91 also....Picked up a nice set of chrome A-molds ZR-1 specific months ago....I like the look of chrome against black.....
Sawblades to me are not really ZR-1 specific like the A-molds but,they have grown on me......In my opinion, the sawblades give the stock wheel size an appearance of being a bit larger than the look of the A-molds.....None the less when I do feel like changing to the chrome A- molds, I will be happy with the look..Also I hear the A-molds are a little lighter than the saw blades..
Confused? Get a second set of tires and swapped them back and forth.....Problem solved...
