Default c4 saw blade wheels

bought a clean 95 coupe all original including wheels
Am i inthe minority, everyone dumps on the original
sawblade wheels, but i think they look great. Also they
cover up the business end of the brakes.

anyone agree with me?

I paid good money to buy Chrome Sawblades to replace my OEM 89 wheels. (Of course, I also converted to the later style bumpers as well). That means I like the LTx cars better in general. Wish I had their dash too! LOL

I just bought a car with aftermarket rims and I am trying to find the stock sawblades for my 95!! The stock rims seem to cost more than the stupid aftermarket ones I have on it now!!

I love the chrome saw blades...Here is my car new in 96 with the sawblades



Currently run the chrome 5 spoke only because I could not find sawblades in 11" with the proper off set and want to run 315s on the rear.



I still have the sawblades with a new set ( less than 1,000 miles ) original Goodyear's in storage. I keep thinking about putting them on but the tires are 9 years old.

Yeah I love the sawblades. They are just a part of the car. No other Corvette wheels really stick out and say Corvette like the sawblades.

I like the sawblades. I particularly like the color-keyed center caps on the Ruby, so I got some black ones for mine a couple years ago:

Dont have to run the sawblades, just please please dont change over to typical zr1 wheels. Go c6 z06 replicas or c5 deep dish, keep it on the original side.

I like blades (chrome especially), but I like brakes more

I like the stock look. Plus, the C4's OEM brakes are ugly. No reason to spend $2-3k (new wheels plus a brake upgrade) to fix something that isn't busted.

I like the big, drilled rotors, flat black hats, and red calipers on my Boxster, but the only way to get them properly clean is to remove the wheels... wheel cleaner eats the lettering on the calipers, the clear coat on the wheels, and the transfer layer on the rotors. What a pain.
