The link below shows the wheels for each year.
The "sawblades" came in two types. One is a painted finish ('91-'92) and the other has a machined finish face that is clear coated ('93-'96). The machine finish is somewhat "bright" and some people call them polished, but they are not.

My 95 has chromed sawblades that I'm pretty sure are factory. The car had 19k miles and the original Good Years when I bought it 4 months ago. When I changed the tires everything looked factory inside because it had the LTPW sensors on the original bands. I have seen a few others that are chromed too.
Not really a lover of chrome wheels but I will adapt.

White you may indeed have factory sawblades that were chrome plated by a previous owner however, they did not come from the factory that way. Chrome sawblades were not an option for a 95.

Chrome sawblades have been available on the aftermarket forever. But they most definitely have not come from the factory either stock or as an option. Just sayin' "just sayin" doesn't make it so.

Your first post stated that you thought they were factory. Your second alludes to a NCRS member having them with the implication that he would only have them if they are factory. They aren't factory. Simple as that. And not worth getting upset about either.

I don't know for sure but I sure see a lot of em around here in SoCal. For example and this guy says he's a NCRS member http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac...063427793.html

Boy I sure missed that one. You have a talent for spotting the invisible implication.The guy in the ad said he was a NCRS member. That was his ad. I don't know anything about him or the car. I assumed he was a "Corvette guy" and might even have bought the car new I just don't know. I guess I could stretch this out and call him then have him join so he could post his lifetime chrome sawblade experience on this thread or I could just let it go. So.
Buh bye
