Nice set up.

I like the contrast lip on the black powdercoat.

IMO, the stickers are a little big, and distract from the clean line. Perhaps go with a black-on-black or dark gray sticker. At highway speed, will it give the illusion of a black spokes or yellow?

they are the same exact spec as the original volk stickers..

when you buy the Time Attack wheels you get red stickers as well .. so it wouldnt be any different then those who run red/black TA wheels

i wanted yellow stickers specifically to break up the black .. it looks bland without em

I realize you have seen some poor powdercoat work but stripping the paint off is the industry standard. Nothing special.

BTW, its called glossy black.

i know what the color is called .. im just telling you what this one particular powdercoat company (the one he got this powder from) calls there black

they call it WET BLACK .. of course i know its GLOSS BLACK

and while i understand that the industry standard maybe to strip the wheel completely .. we all know thats not always the case .. ive seen some horrendous PC jobs... nasty orange peel in it .. poor coverage .. so on and so on ..

and as for the sticker comments.. maybe they just look big because there is such a color contrast that they stick out more?

thanks again all for the comments.. i guess whats most important is that Im extremely happy with the way they turned out

summer isnt getting here fast enough lol

lol i think we got the point by now.

not your style...


I like it. it is very different and classic. I think it will look better without the stickers. I like it anyways.
