Frame: Dark
Lens: Black Iridium

For me this design is possibly the pinnacle of Oakley understated style design, proving they can do elegance and class as well as cutting edge out there style frames. The fit is smaller yes, but that makes it perfect for my tiny face ^.^

I had 2 pairs of A Wire 2.0 Spring Hinge (SH) before this, and both times their ear stems had broken! The hinge design on these are perfectly sturdy, not placing pulling forces on a tiny piece of metal inside the stem attachment every time you open and close the stems like on the SH's.
This less complex mechanism allows more attention to detail in the design, particularly the icons and cutout sculpting on the orbitals rather than a big blob covering the temples.

To top it off the A 2.0's have the classic Oakley etching across the nose bridge, something sorely missed from their new slim/wire range. Light, sophisticated and classy!

Frame: Dark Thick
Lens: Clear RX lenses/Black Iridium

I bought these as regular sunglasses to use with contact lenses, but as I had a good number of sunglasses at my disposal, I went to my local Authorized Oakley Optician and had clear RX lenses put in them. When the Black Iridium lenses were in the frames, they didn't really stand out in the Dark Thick finish (probably would've looked better in the Brushed or Chrome versions), after I have the clear RX lenses set in, the frames immediately stood out of the crowd and looks very bold and unique; I would get compliments everywhere I went! Sometimes I would swap the clear RX lenses with the original Black Iridium, but usually I wear them as eyeglasses. Also, I've never had any of the lenses pop out on me. One think I don't like about them is that they do fit tight, as the other reviews mentioned. Too bad the Thick versions don't come with spring hinges. Anyway, they look awesome as eyeglasses and are my favourite pair.

Can I add a sixth star?

Frame/Lens: Black Chrome Thick/Emerald Iridium Polarized; Black Chrome Thick/Black Iridium; Brushed Thick/Emerald Iridium

Superb glasses, I find that they fit very closely and cover my eye sockets so even though the orbitals aren't huge, the coverage is very good for me. They are very snug - medium/large head and the earstems are in firm contact with the temples - but comfortable and fit very securely. The only downsides, aside from Oakley having no parts to repair them any more, have to do with the frame being quite soft and fairly bendable - I managed to bend my BI pair one day and although they bent back with care, there is still a tiny 'ripple' in the metal next to the nosebridge. Later Wire designs are much more rigid. The Emerald Pol pair tend to only come out a couple of times a year because they're essentially irreplaceable. A very lightweight, sleek, elegant design and without the weak point which seems to come with the spring hinges. I'd love another pair with the polarized Ice lenses but they don't come along very often!

I was just told that Oakley no longer carries any parts for this glasses, lenses included. The best they offered me was a 25% discount on a new pair. Truth is that I don't want a new pair but to repair my old ones. I going to think long and hard about their offer but I am so disappointed that I will probably go with the competition. I loved my A-wires.

Frame: Black
Lens: Black Iridium
Used these for a while and then traded them. They were a bit too big for my face. They look very classy and professional. The icon is a bit hidden, by the temple, but that is okay. The unobtanium allowed for a secure fit.

Frame: Platinum
Lens: Gold Iridium

Great for outdoors especially in the beach. One of the best oakleys that I ever have

Frame: Platinum
Lens: Gold Iridium

Very solid frame that is hard to bend, these are very strong for a small sunglass! The style I think is very cool looking for a wire frame. Which is rare as wire frames are usually more conservative than O-Matter. Wow these wires look very cool and sophisticated all combined! Just perfect! So great to wear a cool and sophisticated looking pair of wires! I have a medium to large face and they look great on me. I was worried when I first got them that they would look silly, but in no way do they, and actually they suit me great! The Platinum frame shines and stands out in the sun and the Gold Iridium mirror looks superb! The Gold Iridium is a great lens for Golfing as it has good contrast. Just a great pair of wires my best yet! I'll keep them as long as I can. Get one today you won't be disappointed!

Frame: Dark
Lens: Black Iridium

I used these for a few years. Didn't really fit my small head too well. The frames weren't as durable as I would have liked but the glasses were still pretty cool. Since they were kinda big, these didn't stay on too well

Frame: Gunmetal
Lens: Grey Polarized

This is my second pair of Oakley wires and my first pair of polarized lenses. These glasses are unmistakably classic Oakley. I like the shaping of the bridge with the Oakley stretch logo across it.
I've dropped these quite a few times and had the lenses pop out. I just forced them back in. I've also had these bent out of shape by children and by accidentally stuffing a lot of stuff in my backpack with them in there. They are really strong and help up well. I just flexed them back, and they look and feel normal now.
I have some kind of small deposits or etching that won't come off the lenses near the frame - possibly from saltwater.
My only complaint with these is that they let a lot of sunlight in on the sides of my eyes IF the sun is at the right angle, which makes me squint and makes my eyes tired, especially while driving.

Frame: Black Chrome Thick
Lens: Emerald Iridium Polarized

Just Simply beautiful and very cool shades! The Vinatge and modern appeal combined make these so great! You really can see the superiority of these over any cheap roadhouse or chemist shades! The Emerald green polarized is probably the rarest Oakley lens out there! It looks both cool and very expensive! It is great for overcast skies or full sun! I love the colour green and unfortunately there is not too many green mirror shades out there, so this is a rare gem! The A-wire shape actually very much suits me. (For starters I thought it wouldn't). Some may class A-Wire as going to a Feminine style but I would say it's definiately more of a Mens style! Examples of Womens style oval wires are : C wire and Teaspoon with the more pointed ends. A-wire looks more Juliet shaped which is a Mens style. Although Ladies can get away with A wire or Juliet!

You REALLY have to look hard for the "polarized" etching on this model. The lenses are rare, and great. While I'm still not a huge fan of the frame, this is my third pair. They're on the verge of being too small for my big head. Every time I wear them, though, I get compliments.

Frame: Black Chrome Thick
Lens: Emerald Iridium Polarized

Classic Polarized Emerald Lens looks great with the Black Chrome Lens. It is very solid. The Emerald Lens is reflective green/yellow. The frame is polished and thereby can be worn is a more casual and with a more dressier classic outfit. The fit is tight and can be a problem for wider heads...actually my head is not that wide at all and when I were these for more than 3 hours i really notice the dig..., demanding the need for A-wire with the Spring Hinge. I did not think that this oval shape would look good but they do. They are light but heavier than lets say Monster Dogs. They look Dam Cool

Frame: Dark
Lens: Black Iridium

These are my 2nd pair and my 1st Wire ever. I wear them for over 3 years now, but the lenses are still in a very good shape. The unabtanium earsocks show some wear, but they are easy to replace. It's very comfortable and looks simply cool. The frame itself could be a bit smaller though. I like this much much better, than the O-Matter glasses.

Frame: Dark
Lens: Black Iridium

Very neutral pair of sunglasses. Suitable for every occasion. Not too big, but still good sun protection.
These were my first pair of sunglasses. When I first got them they were prescription adjusted. When I had my eyes lasered I ordered a set of lenses and after 4 years of heavy usage they still look great!

Frame: Platinum

Lens: Gold Iridium

I love these glases. i used to have some of the originals till they got stolen. I have had this lens color in like 3 of the 4 oakleys i have owned: current A-wire, original A-wire, and in my old A-frame goggles i used to have.

Frame: Dark
Lens:Grey
They are o.k. Very robust and a nice shape, but I don't like the "oakley" between the eyes. I prefer the understatement of the e-wires and the big squares. On my face they cover not that good (slightly better than the square wires 2.0), the lenses are just damn small. But hey, I think these are the best selling wires together with the square 2.0 - the masses can't be wrong ,) !

Frame: light
Lens: black iridium
These were my first pair of oakleys and they got me completly hooked on oakley. These are a very classy and clean looking pair of glasses and really it was the exceptional optics and awesome quality that told me on the oakley brand.

Frame: Platinum
Lens: Gold Iridium Polarized
Good professional look, and quite durable for a wire frame. The lens hits my eyelashes due to the lack of lens curvature. Also doesn't have the best coverage for those with large faces. Good for business/work wear.

Frame: black
Lens: black iridum

Solid frame well sculpted, good all around look for dress, funeral, or day to day use. not enought coverage for sport use.

Frame: Carbon
Lens: Black Polarized
Surprisingly this is the only pair of Oakley's I have. (I need to get going on that) That makes them a must for winter time driving in ND. They really cut the glare off the snow and the black Iridium helps with the brightness. Luckily this I got these about the time Oakley got their polarization figured out. When I was working at SGH and the polarized Frogskins came out (the first style to have it if I remember correctly), the optics were off and made your depth perception all wonky. They stopped polarized for a little while and then returned and there's been no looking back since. I wear these a lot. I've been thinking about upgrading to a 2.0 w/ spring hinges.

Frame: Brushed Thick
Lens: Emeral Iridium

One of better designed wires but for whatever reason, these look narrow on me. It's unfortunate since they fit really well and the "Thick" frames look nice and sturdy, as well as just looking good. I'd easily recommend these for people with small to medium sized heads.

Frame: Platinum
Lens: Gold Iridium Polarized
These are a significant improvement over the old model. They fit better, because of the straight arms, and the improved hinges. Their rather plain design would be well accented by adding the Hammer earsocks from the Gen1.

Frame: Platinum
Lens: Gold Iridium

Very very nice frames, i prefer these over the Spring Hinge versions. The orbitals on these have a more sculpted, rounded tapered look to them, while the Spring Hinge versions look a bit too boxy. I also get a much better fit with these than the Spring Hinge versions. The regular A-Wire 2.0 frames aren't as bold as the Thick versions, but my Platinum/Gold Iridium is an eye catcher colour combination. It's sophisticated looking but unmistakably Oakley. The frames itself are solid and sturdy, with no lenses popping out. Overall excellent sunglasses.

Frame: C-5 alloy (they all are, I guess) silver
Lens: Black iridium

This is probably the first wire to fit my face nicely. I also enjoyed the E wire and square wire, but despite the fact that I prefer those with S/H, I tend to have a better fit with the non S/H.

The shape of these glasses are awesome. I just wish that they had a TITANIUM frame version of these. Anyone know if there is one or is going to be one?

Frame: Dark
Lens: Dark Grey

Great styling and great functionality. I love the plain, understated frame color that I have of these.

But the greatest thing about the A-Wire 2.0 is the sleeking out of the temples and overall shape of the frame.

I understand and appreciate that there are some out there who prefer the hammerfang temples of the first A-wires, and, in fact, the old A-Wires fit me better slightly. But the design looks much cleaner in my opinion and it's one of the few major improvements Oakley has made to any of its lines.

Frame: all
Lens: all

I thought the second incarnation of the original was nicer than this. The wire frame got too bulky and was very tight, all the 2.0 wires were. This was the way to go though if you couldn't wear the E or Square. The A lens was a great shape and carried over into similar lens styles like the Juliet. And the Thick frame, I always thought was a terrible look and a bitch to adjust. The lenses didn't stay well in the thick frame. Kept popping out.

Review: Frame: Brushed Thick
Lens: Emerald Iridium

Very solid frame construction. Emerald Iridium has a nice green/yellow mirror. The ''A'' lens shape is nice for people that don't like the oval ''E'' style lenses or the square style. The fit is quite snug, so if you have a larger head, the spring hinge version might be more comfortable.

Frame: Black Chrome Thick

I have never really seen these in person, only in pictures, but they look and sound like they would be the ultimate A-wire to own.

I was just told that Oakley no longer carries any parts for this glasses, lenses included. Best they could do was offer me a 25% discount on a new pair. Truth is I don't want a new pair but to repair my old pair. Will have to think about their offer long and hard but I'm so disappointed I'll probably go with a competitor. Loved my A-wires. Not a happy camper right now.
