Re: 17x11 Sawblade Style Wheels

If those are NOS that is a good deal IMO. The one thing about the sawblade is it was never reproduced, and the 11" was only on ZR1's making them difficult to find. Some people like them, others don't.

Although not my favorite I do like them on a ty, not as much on a sy but still good.

Whatever!!! :rant: ;)

I also want to add that they never made a 50mm offset in the sawblades 11"rear. All the rears are 36mm which still fits pretty good imo, just sticks out a little more. The 50mm was a grandsport offset.

The pics they show of 11" wide rims are not 11" wide.

But if you do math. $1175 for 4 reconditioned rims or the ad posted was $1200 for new rims.

I paid $1k for rims with worn out tires 6 yrs ago.

Looking for two rear 17x11 sawblade style wheels in the 50mm offset

As already mention HM never made Saw Blades 17x11 with a 50mm offset, your looking for a 91-93 ZR-1 rim. If you mixing and matching rims, 93 (and later) had a machined finish on them vs the 91 & 92 and would look out of palce

Yes, you're right GM never made them. I've looked all over and have had No Luck. I was hoping somoene would have some replicas of them in the 50mm. And yes I have 4 wheels of the 91-92 9.5s so mixing and matching with the 93-96 machined would look out place.

And thank you everyone!!!!!

Really? I thought the saw blade ZR-1's were 90 and 91 only.

Does your tires rub on your cladding? Also is your Sy lowered? And if it's lowered, How many inches?

Yes until 93.

90 Rims were different from 91 as well. Their are some rare 89 ZR-1 style rims floating around. GM put them on 89 prototype's and they made it into the part catalog, so some are floating around.

There is no rubbing on the cladding at all, but on full lock, the rims hit the control arms up front. The truck is lowered 1" out back, and probably around 2" up front.

So does anyone have a pair of 11" in the 91-92 painted face with the 36mm offset for sale?
