Need some advice or help from my O Brothers

[ToddB]

I have a pair of Half wire 2.0 and I just got a set of Walleva lenses. They look beautiful but the quality is absolute trash. I know I didnt expect much for a 20 dollar bill but damn. Both lenses put together are nowhere near the thickness of the OEM Lenses. Does anyone have any advice on aftermarket lenses. I would buy some original ones in a heartbeat (let me know if you have a set) but unfortunately they are discontinued and nowhere to be found. I hate to trash the frames since I have 2 pairs in really good shape. Just over the years the original lenses have started to delaminate.

Definitely display them before throwing them away!

Im not really a collector. I wear all the pairs I have. Having crappy lenses takes the enjoyment out of wearing them

Besides the thickness, is there anything wrong with them?

Fitment is good. They just seem real flimsy. I wore them only for a few mins on my patio today. Didn't really get to test them out. Clarity seemed fine and so did color. I guess I am just use to my OEM lenses and it's not really fair to compare them

Here is the exact same glasses with OEM lenses

If optical quality seems fine, then that's all that really matters.

I agree but feel is also important. If they feel like cheap Chinese sunglasses then you lost the whole Oakley feel of quality

Get some one to cut oem lenses for you

Can they be cut of they arent round?
