Good luck, it's a shame they're not reproduced. I searched through a lot of Craigslist sites, even found a site that does the work for you, but only came up with one NOS set in Ca for $1200+ and another in Pa that sold immediately.

Yep, I waited about seven years to get a set myself:
"ZR1 saw blades 17 X 9.5 front & 17 X 11 rear. Soon to be polished..."
I bought them last year from member alwayswantedone enroute to the Homecoming meet in MI
. I started to sand one of them smooth over the winter and will probably have them on my truck in another year or two.

I got lucky and found a set on Ebay, though they're just 8.5 up front and 9.5 in the back, I think. Still, 255/45/17 and 275/40/17 filled the wheel wells better than I'd anticipated. Huge improvement over previous wheels. Got all four with almost brand new tires for about what I've seen people asking for just the pair of 17x11 rears bare.

the 17 x 11 was only ZR1. The 9.5" was normal corvette which is obviously more plentify.
I don't know the #'s but I think it was less than 2k zr1's with those rims, so not that many out there.
I got my set from Brian Green almost 7 years ago or so. Not sure where he got them from. I think I paid right at $1k back then.

I found my set on www.corvetteforum.com around 2 years ago and paid $375 for the set. That was a pretty good deal I thought. They are out there, you just gotta be at the right place at the right time.

Not only that, but the first couple of years were machine finished, weren't they? IIRC, out of the three or four years they were available, there were two finishes. Makes finding the correct set really difficult, that's for sure.

They were approx. 2044 and 502 91 & 92 ZR-1 respectively going off the top of my head. If you count the 448 93 machined faced saw blades, the saw blade production similair to that of Syclone. The good new is that the Saw Blade ZR-1's are probably the least desirable of all the factory 17x11 ZR-1 rims, from a Corvette owners stand point.
