UGGH!! my volk rim is missing a sticker!!!!!
i must have THE worst luck in the world, for it seems that everytime i buy a performance part something goes wrong, and that it needs to be resent or redone a second time, but 
, this time really sucks, after waiting three and a half months, when i was told only two weeks, my le-37's came in, i even went down to mackin to pick them up, we carefully checked out two of the wheels and glanced at the other two, since these were supposedly a special color set for japan only, sort of a dark bronze, instead of a dark grey, so we were more interested in seeing if the colors matched instead of things like stickers, anyhow i got the rims mounted and afterwards i noticed that one of the stickers was missing off the spokes, there was no sticker residue or scratches, so i doubt that the tire shop could have done it, but now they are used, WHAT CAN I DO? i heard that those stickers are impossible to get, UGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!! has anybody had this problem?

When I picked up my CE28's recently, one of the stickers was loose in the box and
another was barely attached! I think the heat and not being firmly pressed down at
the factory lead to this.
I'm removing the rest of them by the way.

ya i think i'll take the rest of them off, at least your rims are pretty new, and i haven't seen an imitation yet, mine might just look fake now, maybe i'll paint them black and leave the polished lip, since the sticker issue was the only thing holding me back

bshigeta,
Have you spoken with Mackin? Maybe they have a few stickers laying around....
When are you gonna post some pics of your new wheels? I'm anxious to see the color.

any advice on removing them? i think they're ugly and stupid looking (some might say ricey but i like to avoid the word), but i haven't removed them yet for fear of having to use solvents ... and possibly damaging the finish.
