EVO8 Enkei decal dimensions

[flaatr]

Can some one with EVO8 Enkei's do me a favor and give me the dimensions of the decal on the face of the rim. I am trying to reproduce these for a set of wheels I am refinishing.

Please try and be as exact as possible and also include the gap between the logo and the E.

I really appreciate the help... I've got a shop that will turn these around quick but I need the size before I head over there.

Why not just buy a set from eBay? They're all over in a variety of colors.

This is a good idea.

Been there, done that...

Bought a set from a guy with high ratings and only after I filed a case with ebay for no response did he reply to me... got the stickers 4 weeks late and they were the wrong size. He also turned out to be a shady mofo, claimed he was in NY and the package came from the Ukraine in Russia...

Done with ebay... I want these wheels done so I'm going to have them made local.

Wow, good to know. I'd offer to help, but I'm on the road. I'll shoot my brother and see if he'd be willing to go measure the sticker size.

Damn, that makes me want to blast/powdercoat my wheels to clean them up, and then apply fresh stickers!

Maybe when I wear the current tires out or move to R comps...

The pics make them look better than they really are. The two previous owners of these wheels each painted them different colors and when I got them they were chipped, curbed and scratched... I really should have media blasted them but instead I sanded 3 layers of paint and scuffing them so there are a lot of imperfections. They were free (trade for a set of 16's I had laying around for my non-DSM) and I really just wanted them not to look like ass. The finish looks great from 5 feet away but the stickers are awesome!

I had enough decals made so that if I decide to some day pull these off and re-refinish them, this time the right way, I can.

Aww, why'd you remove the image from the first post?

Cant wait to get mine all finished up. Brian, we should have a powder party

 

[snowborder714]

Unless you know someone who will unmount, mount, and balance my tires for free/cheap, I probably won't be doing it until I need/want to replace the tires on those wheels.

Such a pooper you are haha.

Mounted the rims with a set of kinda worn R888 tires... temporary rollers.

I like how it looks, bronze on black.

I'm still looking for a spare center cap (two would be better) so I can plug the holes...
PM if you can help!!!

Great color combo.

 

[Silver99OZ]

Wow they came out good and your car looks brand new.

 

[snowborder714]

Definitely a great look!

 

[dloiphone]

Definitely love the bronze look. Whats the name/color code of that bronze? Been wanting to paint my Evo 9 enkeis bronze since I got them.

Does anyone have an approx. cost for media blasting a set of evo8's? I'd rather have an idea of what I'm talking about before someone charges me $200. Like the OP, mine arrived to me with several layers of paint, each a different color. Not sure if his were as bad as mine cause I wouldn't dream of sanding them by hand! Not even the orbital was useful!

OP, while wheel painting processes have been documented far and wide, would you mind detailing your procedure used for these wheels?
