fake juliet polarized lenses?

Are you 100% sure? There's a slight difference in hew colour and green grading between the 2, infact I will have to change out the other lens aswell because the difference in hue is noticable

Well, nobody can say 100% but fire is one of those with inconsistent iridium coatings, and it's the iridium that gives it the greenish hue. See this post for more details:

Can the iridium coating affect the base tint appearance?

And you should always replace lenses in sets, not individually, especially with polarized. Oakley cuts sets from a single blank to ensure perfect polarization orientation matching between the two lenses and that's not guaranteed when you mix and match.

I totally agree with Kronin323... they are probably from 2 completely didn't batches, some time ago i scratched one of my lenses and replaced it with a spare i had knocking around and the hue was slightly different, i lived with it for a while then just replaced both with a new set....
