Frame: Titanium
Lens: Titanium
I was a huge fan of the original A-Wire when it was intially launched. In fact, I owned two pairs at one point. I was quite surprised when I stumbled on this combo whilst scanning the O-Review DB. I never knew the A-Wire was available in a Ti frame. Let alone a Ti lens. I knew the T-Wire was Titanium (of course). I was even more surprised when I won my BNIB pair on Ebay for less than $70! They are quite simply the Cadillac of A-Wires. Light, sophisticated, and very comfortable-fitting - I don't have enough good things to say about this pair. I am so grateful to this site for putting me on to these, because like I said, I would never have discovered them otherwise.

Frame: Dark Carbon
Lens: Ruby Iridium

First the good, these A Wire's are pretty much the perfect wire design, cool and stylish yet still understated and classy. The ruby lenses make them pop much more that other neutral colours, and they also still have the Oakley etching on the nose bridge not seen on the new wire designs.

However I owned 2 pairs of these before I gave up and got a non SH pair, because both times the ear stems had broken! The SH design on these involve a tiny (1 mm) metal tube that connects to the inside of the arm, which suffers pulling stress every time you open and close the stems. Although allowing a better fit for bigger faces, it is extremely fragile as I found.

If you can get a non-SH A Wire 2.0 to fit I'd recommend that, otherwise handle these stylish, but delicate, frames very carefully!

Frame: Dark Carbon
Lens: Ruby Iridium

the Dark Carbon/Ruby Iridium is a great looking combimation. i love the way how the Dark Carbon is matte finished, and the Ruby Iridium is really mirrored, even more so than the Ruby Iridium on the E Wire 2.1. however, the Rubies on the A Wire 2.0 Spring Hinge is more of a darker shade of orange (but not as orange as Fire Iridium) than red. the spring hinge is good for accomodating those with larger heads, although i get a better and more comfortable fit with the non-spring versions. however, the lens shape is not the same as the A Wire 2.0 non-spring hinge, as those are closer in shape to the original A Wires (which i prefer). the A Wire 2.0 Spring Hinge's lens shape is more of a squarer, trapezoidal shape than the smoother, more rounded tapered shape that's on the 2.0 non-spring hinge.

still, these are great looking sunglasses, the Dark Carbon/Ruby combination is worth the price of admission alone.

These were great glasses, nice fit, until the 2nd yr of moderate use. The lenses started to peel, and now the one arm just came out of the hinge. I haven't wore them that much and always kept them in the Oakley vault when not in use. I paid a lot for these glasses for them to just fall apart like this. I called Oakley about these issues and they said well there is nothing we can do, we will however give you a small discount on a new pair. After the short time these lasted I don't want another pair of Oakleys. My wife has a cheap $20 pair of glasses for 5 years now with no problems. I am VERY disapointed with Oakley quality!

Frame: Gun Metal
Lens: + Red Iridium

My favorites of my Wires. The Gunmetal looks very sharp with the +Red. The spring hinge makes for an all day comfortable fit. The lens provides good eye coverage. Very professional or official look to them, like you work for the 'Feds'. If you can find these, buy them.

Frame: Carbon
Lens: Ruby Iridium

Possibly the most versatile pair of sunglasses ever... The beautiful styling means I can wear it not only regularly going out but formally at work or with a suit, while the amazing ruby tint catches the eye of anyone who looks your way.

These fit aboslutely perfectly on my tiny head and face; I might guess these are one of the smallest frames that Oakley makes. They are ultra light, yet are solid enough to sustain daily abuse. One thing I also like is 'Oakley' branded across the bridge, which newer Wire models now miss.

A timeless classic.

Frame: Gunmetal, Dark Carbon & Titanium
Lens: Grey, +Red, Ruby & Black Iridium

I've always loved A Wires. I love the lens shape, the frame and the overall look and feel to them. The only down side would be the their tight fit around my head, but the spring hinge completely takes care of that. Not only does the spring hinge model help with the fit, but the minor frame changes that came along with this version are great as well. With the rounding of the ear stems as well as the rounding of the nose bridge, the A Wire 2.0 Spring Hinge is just about a perfect pair of glasses in my opinion.

Frame: Gun Metal
Lens: + Red Iridium

Great looking Glasses. Pictures don't do it justice. The frame is dull...gunmetal.works very well with the + Red lenses. The colour of these lenses range from purple to blue to deep red..depending on the angle of course. Compared to the A-wire 2.0 these are more comfortable due to the spring hinge. Also as with the A-wire 2.0 i get impression marks on the bridge of my nose as well as the nose pads...prehaps I have to get them adjusted. . All a-wires have a slight wrap around...not as wraped as other glasses therefore there is a little bit of a space between the lens portion and the face for more curved faces.Light weight. Amazing Look. Try them on!

Frame: Gunmetal
Lens: +Red

Sleek and stylish, the A Wire 2.0s look appropriate with either casual garb or more sophisticated attire. The style of the lenses resemble those of the Juliet, which most will find appealing, and the +Red Iridium tops the list as one of the most beautiful hues Oakley has created. The wire frames are also lightweight and durable, and spring hinges increase comfort and durability.

Frame: Carbon
Lens: Black Iridium

Just wondering... I seem to have an A-Wire that is all black (including the lens) I got it from a cousin who bought it in LA I think. Thing is, I haven't seen any A-Wire SH that is all black. Could these be replacement lenses or are they (GULP!) fake???

Frame: Silver
Lens: Ice
I like the design and with the spring hinges they fit perfectly.
However after 3 years of moderate use the coating started to peel off and parts of the frame turned green. Other users on this site have reported simular problems. Oakley seems to have a problem with its coatings and I find it really disturbing on sunglasses of this price.

Frame: Dark Carbon
Lens: Ruby
The A-wire Ruby is one of those that gives a consistently amazing Ruby lens color. Although I have a couple a-wire thick frames, I think this is one of the classiest wires I own. Great fit, very comfy, and looks more refined than the regular a-wires that seem a bit too sporty.

Frame: Ti Pewter
Lens: VR28 Blue Irid Polar

Holy cow! I love titanium frames. They are so light and yet they feel sturdy. I love the contrast of the VR28 blue lenses. I've been wanting this pair forever. I finally got it in mint condition off of eBay for less than 1/2 of retail!!!

I like the fit on my asian face. It's not too wide or too angled. Once again, the weight is phenomenal. The spring hinges offer sturdy grip without the extra pressure like when you wear the non-spring A wires for a little while. You pretty much can't go wrong with this pair of O's. I highly recommend these to everyone.

Frame: Gunmetal
Lens: +Red/-Red

I'm a hug fan of this frame. It gives you great horizontal coverage and the spring hinges are comfortable and sturdy. +Red is a wonderful lens but I scratched it terribly and eventually replaced them with the experimental -Red which is basically a Red irdium coating on a light blue base. Very sexy.

Frame: Titanium
Lens: Titanium Iridium

I got these almost 50% reduced and love them to bits. I also have a C5 A-Wire (Silver/Ice) which I found a bit disappointing. The titanium really does this frame justice. So light it feels like you have nothing at all. I dont like golds or browns and this kind of veers in that direction but I just had to have them.

Frame: carbon black
Lens: black iridium

got these as a replacement for a previous pair of a wires and i love them they are strong and flexable.

Frame: gunmetal
Lens: grey polarized

These are my first pair of Oakleys. I bought the SI edition off of eBay. I liked the "matrix" look of the glasses but they seem a bit small on my face. I find that the Square Wire 2.0 fit me better (aren't as tight) and look better on my face. The lenses are pretty scratch resistant. I took it out to the firing range and one of the shells hit the lens but no marks!

Frame: Carbon
Lens: Ruby

bought these off ebay from US, and my friend brought it back from there for me. it was kinda a bad ebay experience cos they came without the warranty registration card that i'll need(for my country), and the microfiber was missing too(hence, the lens was scratched). but thankfully another member of this forum offered to help me with the warranty registration card(thanks Darren Taylor!).

on to the review, after trying the glasses for a few days, i find myself liking them for the way they hug my face, better than the square wires. i don't have to do any adjustments to the nosepiece position at all and the fits just perfectly. however, i prefer the shape of the square wires cos they look better on me.

on to the lenses, ruby lenses just rulez. nice warm blue tint from the inside and totally aggresive iridium mirror from the outside! i can only say that my friends who saw the glasses were 'drooling' all over asking how to get one..! i myself is thinking to get a pair of XX ruby or other frames with ruby lens.., but too bad NONE of the ruby lensed O's is available here..

Frame: Silver
Lens: Ice Iridium
Got these when I got sick of my Square wires. They are exceptional but have only served to make me appreciate my square wires more. Found the A's looked slightly more feminine. Also, they had to be adjusted a load of times before they stopped hurting my head due to the pressure applied by the spring hinge.

Frame: Silver
Lens: Ice Iridium

My best pair of glasses, these are extremely light and have a solid feel to them. The spring hinges adjust to my head perfectly and i'm just in awe at the construction of these. If you were to buy a pair of wires i'd highly reccommend these!

Frame: Gunmetal
Lens: Red Iridium

My favorite pair of Oakleys yet. They are a wonderful buy and I wish I could buy them again. My pair lasted for 4 years before one of the earpieces broke (where it goes into the spring hinge). I miss them.

Lens: Red Iridium

Gorgeous piece of sunglass!

The one Oakley wire that has caught my attention for so long. I'm not one to keep wearing the same sunglass. I have changed my alt-sunglass over and over again (M Frame to Juliet to Half Jacket) but this pair of wire glasses just rocks my boat.

Absolutely beautiful.

Frame: Silver
Lens: Ice Iridium

A very nice sunglass. The frame looks best in really bright light. The spring hinges are a nice touch, especially since they can accommodate larger heads. I would buy them over again. It is too bad you can no longer get the +Red and the VR28 Blue Polarized versions on-line.

Review: Frame: Titanium Pewter
Lens: VR28 Blue Iridium Polarized

Wow! You will not believe how light these are! The titanium makes a huge difference in weight over the regular C5 alloy. The spring hinges are perfectly weighted... not too tight, not too loose. The pewter color is just dandy, matte finish with a tinge of bronze. "TITANIUM" is imprinted on the back side of the nose bridge to differentiate these from the non-Ti wires.

VR28 Blue Iridium Polarized is a nice color to look at and look through. Like other VR28-based lenses, it is a pinkish-brown tint that is pleasing to the eyes and good for a wide range of light conditions. Depending on the angle from which you are looking, the outside of the lenses can have a slight blue haze or a deep blue mirror. If you have seen these in person, you know what I am describing... just beautiful.

Loved these glasses. Still have mine but lens are scratch. Looking for a good replacemnent.
