Hey guys, i just picked up a set of 17x9.5 C4 sawblades for $100.00. Yes I have searched but really couldn't find any good pics. Who hear has run them???

 

Bet they look sharp on a 3rd gen i havent seen em on one. Looking forward to puttin some new black crosslace rims on mine.

 

I'd like to get a set myself.

 

Heres you one

 

Anybody else?

 

Got a set sitting in the garage waiting for tire and spacers

 

There are a few differetn versions of those, yes? Im not sure which are the definitive "sawblades" version, but 1meanZ has probably run them at some point.



I'd really like a set for autocross and race rubber.

 

THere's two different Sawblades, those you posted are off the early C4 ZR1 apparently or they might be anniverary wheels, and the others are just base Corvettes. If you ask the VW crowd they might know more than the Vette guys do, seems like every VW here has Sawblades.

 

I haven't seen those on a 3rd Gen before. They look good. Now I'm going to have to consider them when I start looking for wheels in the future for mine.

 

I dont know why or how they VW guys became obsessed with them... but I gotta admit they do look really nice on them.

DBLTKE has a set he put on his VW and I think he has a picture of them on his z28 with the vw sized tires... LOL.




I still think they look surprisingly nice on there. I hate the sawblade wheels... but they do make for a unique and very clean look and I gotta say they look nice on these cars.

But that makes 3 different variations that i know of when it comes to the saw blades.

The two that I've posted, plus the other picture in the thread.

 

^those are turbines. For some reason VW guys call them salad shooters. I think they're 16". The wheels in the first pic are "the definitive sawblades"
