Gen1 Fire lenses, which aftermarket match the closest?

[weezersucks33]

Hi all, I'm looking for a pair of fire lenses that closely match the gen 1 fire lens look, the ones with a bit of ruby in them. It seems oakley decided to make the fire lenses a bit more yellow golden after that, and added a ruby lens to the market to give two distinct styles that the first ones merged. I personally love the look of the more mixed in ones. I know there is discourse on here about the distinctions, but I'm wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of lenses that closely resemble that fire/ruby mix that I'm looking for. Hoping for some goo quality lenses. Linegear has a lens that looks sort of similiar, but have a good amount of purple in them. Looking for the closest match possible. Down to buy original ones, just seem so difficult to find! Thanks! Photos are for reference, found on google.

If you're referring to the tone of these, I can't say I know of any 3rd party manufacturer. It's O or nothing, I'm afraid.

I suggest prizm ruby. Pretty close to old gen fire and it's completely far from ruby iridium. Even base color is different. Choose a good donor though because i've had prizm rubies that are close to purplish ruby and some that looks like old gen fire

Yes. Find a donor that's big enough for a juliet and then have someone cut it. Or you can find an old gen fire there's still some out there. I have 2 for juliet

Walleva makes a very close replica.

They would appear to have upped their game, somewhat, as least compared their previous versions. I personally, avoided them, due too their less , than solid colour.
