Very tasty, is the acs z rim writing a decal ?? Mine is a sticker that wont survive removal and are the rims nos or restored??
-
The white rims in my picture are NOS so the decals are original.
This idea on ebay is better than the stickers you get for the rims (and cheaper!)

i bought some of these stencils and to be honest they were sh1t. they're really hard to stick down and the paint gets under the stencil making it look like a blob, i then had to clean the paint off and re-dye the wheels and then buy the stickers.. a right pain in the arse. hope this helps

that cracks me up he says dont buy stickers they come off :-\ ,,,then supplys stencils that are the the outlines left from when the main decals are removed
i can see why your paint bled through ::)
i bought some z-rim decals recently off del and they stick a treat :daumenhoch:
oh and he will do the z-hub decals to mate :Great_Britain:
