I used a hair dryer on the TE37 on my S4. Hair dryer works but it takes a while, the stickers are brittle. I had to bead blast the wheels on my S2K in order to powder them, so that process made short work of the stickers.

What's the reason behind powder coating your rims? How much does it cost and how long does it take?

White looks like shit on Yellow and I wanted to shave a little off the back to make the offset better fit the car, It cost me about 300 (I know somone who owns a shop) with the bead blasting and special Nearchrome powdercoat (less for regular colors) and it takes about 4 days, depending on how backed up the shop is

You wouldn't happen to have any pics would you? Nearchrome powder coat sounds like it would look pretty good.

Volk stickers are not available unless you buy the wheel that they come on. Phantom, you can move that source reliability up from 95% to 100%.

How close do those look compared to the "real" Volk stickers?

I will e-mail you pics as soon as I can
The fake stickers look exactly the same except they do not have the clear layer on the top so they do look less glossy, but I am trying to find somone who can fix this. Also the lines on the real ones are smoother. I will try to scan the sticker tomarrow so you (Volk owners) can see the difference between yours and these
