sawblade ?
Hey, I'm getting a set of 95 sawblades powder coated. The right hand 9.5 is in bad shape..I'm looking to replace that wheel. Are the 92s the same, just different finishes? Would it be the same once it is coated?
I would appreciate any info!

The 92 and 95 are sawblades but, they have a different finish.
The 92's sawblades are smooth, the 95's have a flat surface.

Thanks, but does will that come into play if I'm having them powder coated white...does it matter the finish? (I'm finding the earlier ones much cheaper) Or should I play it safe and get the same machined finish later sawblades?

Look at the pictures PRLX posted real close.
The '92 wheel has a rounded "smooth" edge on the sawblade part.
The '95 wheel (which he shows a much better picture of) has the sawblade fin with a flat surface on it.
It's all in the looks really, and if you want one wheel to be different.

There was a Southern California thread about a company that would turn your own rims to eliminate road rash and other things. I do not know if this would help, but if it might, maybe someone local to you can do it. Or you can ship it to them

Thanks! I was able to take it to another place that repaired it. I just got them back from being powder coated. I'm sure they will be a pain to clean...not everyones taste, but I really think they came out sharp.
They are all white with the black center caps.
