Default Anyone maybe willing to trade wheels?

Figure I would put this out there..

Have a 91 ZR1 with factory saw blades with factory warning stickers still on......Always cleaned and regularly buffed with metal Polish where the aluminum can be polished...I'm a stickler when it comes to wheels, so I try my best to keep them nice.

Excellent condition.....I like the look of the chrome A-molds...Just thinking if anyone in the northeast would maybe want to swap or something...

Just figure I would put this out there...

Can forward photos of wheels....

There's a set for sale somewhere around here but don't think anybody would be willing to trade for what you have just to let you know. And the stock 91 wheels are cleared coated so averytime you buff on the surface your removing the clear. Good luck on your search.

My point being the part your buffing is also clear coated.

The Chrome A-Molds are typically aftermarket. The original A-Molds were painted. A Few folks have those polished and then cleared and they look pretty good and almost like chrome. Lots of knockoffs out there in the market. FYSA

Yes that's true....I do like the look of the factory A-molds...There are a lot of knock offs out there.....A lot do not have that deep lug look in the rear which looks so good on the ZR1.....

Keep the saw blades. you'll regret trading the oem wheels with original stickers. buy a set of repro A-molds.

The wheels on my Ruby still have the original stickers on them to. I have FM5's, but only 3. If anyone is willing to sell me one in 17x9.5 I'm all ears. OP, I agree with the others, buy a repro set of ZR1's.
