refinished my volk sf challenge

I have a set of volk sf challenge and the barrels were looking old and abused so I refinished them my self. The wheels had a sticker on the barrel. I was able to source the stickers for the wheels from a high up manager for volk usa . Question is Should i put the stickers on or should i just leave them off?

pics of the wheels and the stickers

I don't think you could really go wrong either way, but if you went through the trouble to get those stickers, you might as well put them to use.

Looks good! Definitely put the stickers back on.

I need to get my GT-M's redone. Where did you refinish your wheels at?

Did you just re-polish the lips by hand?

The stickers go on the lip in front of the valve stem. I sanded them by hand then I got a grinder and some polishing wheels from home depot. I finished it off with mother’s mag and aluminum polish and I got new burnt titanium bolts for the wheels
