Replace Gold Iridium with Prizm

[razter]

Limited availability for those.
DWP would be a good choice (polarized, good looks, lowish VLT)
Other options may be:
Prizm Black
Fire Polarized

I was actually looking at the DWP and Prizm Black yesterday at the store. Which would make everything pop more?

In my opinion gold iridium lenses are the best! The only thing I found close are tungsten iridium. They make a Prizm Tungsten Polarized which I haven’t had a chance to try yet. Now if only Oakley would release a Prizm Gold or Prizm Gold Polarized.

I just looked online at the Prizm Tungsten Polarized. They look really nice!

Although that does sound good, I wouldn't want them darker than what I already have and they would be, correct?

Yes Fire Polarized would be "darker" than your current golds. But the base on Fires is amber instead of bronze which gives it a slightly different look. I've used Fire Pols for a long time in several different frames and looking through them is "brighter" than most 10% lenses. You should look through a pair in person to see if its what you really want though. As for the other options, DWP is also 10% according to the O review database. Prizm Sapphire Polar is 12% and one of my personal favorites. Prizm Tungsten Polar is very nice lens if you are wanting to keep the gold/bronze look.

Yes, I'd have to look at the Fire Polarized in the store to see how dark they really are. I wish they would use the same picture on the Oakley site so you could really see how the lens affects all colors. I thought the Prizm Deep Water was 12? It only shows the blues in the pic though. Does it make all the colors pop? The Prizm Black Polarized looks like it makes all the colors pop. The Prizm Sapphire Polarized looks like it actually dulls the colors. Is that true? The Prizm Tungsten Polarized looks like it makes all the colors pop and then gives the gold/bronze look to it.
Does this all sound correct? I'm looking to use the glasses mostly for tennis, running, and biking.

Sorry but gold iridium is not replaceable. Its the nicest lens ever

Tungsten would transmit more light than gold or fire I believe.

Titanium iridium is also good and a bit darker than Tungsten. Prizm Jade should work well too. Unless you need polarized lenses it only adds to cost and is a disadvantage with some sports.

If you are talking about how the lenses "look" on the Oakley website, then half of the lenses are backwards. For instance where the side says: "with lens" frequently shows what it looks like without any lens and the "without lens" side shows what it looks like through the lens. Oakley's website is pretty much ****e and has been for years. All the options you mentioned make colors more vibrant with the contrast base.

And very few of those pictures give a good accurate look through the lenses in my opinion. They are merely a decent starting point.

^ He's right as well. You are going to have a tough time replacing the golds. It really is one of the nicest lenses to look through that Oakley has ever made.
