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.

Blades for me but if you still can't decide. I'll say to you the same thing I say to my girlfriend "either way you still look pretty." Lol

A-molds on one side, Sawblades on the other.

Settled.

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.
