Default Painting my SSR wheels

Hi guys,

I don't know if this is the correct place to post... (mods, please move if necessary)

I'm thinking of painting/powdercoating/plastidipping (havent decided which route) my SP1s and I would like to know if there is an easy way to preserve my wheel stickers (i have to have them because they add at least 5hp! ). I want to paint everything matte black so the lips, rivets, spokes will all need to be painted. Is there a place where I can buy replacement stickers, where? Or is there some easy trick to cover them up so I don't have to buy new ones?

by the way, i searched and came up with nothing...


Thanks,
Rowan

Do powdercoating for a better finish... I would take the rivets out (and either get them painted or put them back as is) or they will be stuck in there after the powdercoat and it won't look as good.

thanks, I was thinking this as well but I think I'm leaning towards plastidip because I can go back to original if I get tired of the matte black look.

Contact gruppe-s for the stickers. I just ordered a set from them a couple weeks ago. They were cheaper and only took a little over a week to get.
