I noticed two recent ads for 1991-2 sawblade wheels. How are they different than 1993?

Do original GM 5 spoke wheels have the part number stamped in them?

Thanks

yes there is a difference the 91 sawblades are painted, the 93's are polished a bit.
and yes the a molds have a part # stamped

The '93 sawblades have a machine finish (not polished) with a clearcoat. Machine finish as in you can still see the machine marks left by the tool as the wheel was being machined, looks like fine circular marks if you look close enough.

I believe the 91/92 are cast, and the 93-96 are machined.

there is no such thing as a 94 or 95 zr-1 sawblade

'90s got "Salad Shooters"
'91 & '92 got cast SawBlades
'93 got Machined Sawblades
'94 & '95 got "A Molds"

Love my Salad Shooters.

Thanks for all the information.

Would the front sawblades from a 93 ZR-1 9.5's and the rear sawblades 9.5's from a C4 93-96 be the same?

All '93 and later 9.5 "sawblades" would be the same BUT remember when looking at/or buying loose wheels they ARE directional. I've seen people pay "no attention" to the directional aspect and only the condition of the wheel.

On a little different note, does anybody know the person who has a tourquise 91Z in the LA area with 89 wheels? I've seen it at Pomona, and never had the chance to say HI to him.
