Default silver painted sawblade

i ran across this pic of, what appears to be, a silver painted sawblade. IMO, doesn't look too bad. a definite alternative to a stock refinish...

Looks like a stock 91-93 rear ZR-1 wheel. They were painted silver, except for the lip, from the factory as opposed to the 93-96 wheels that had a machined front.

MY '91 & '92 only! '93 is a machined finish and a 1 year only for the ZR-1

The light in the snapshot I believe makes the wheel more silver in appearance than maybe the argent that it actually is or it's been refinished in different silver.

Yup! Thinking 91-92 and wrote 91-93. Looks like the correct silver.

My 91 wheels came like that from the factory. They've gotten a bit weathered though.
