OGK wheel logo
« on: May 12, 2019, 05:12 PM »
*waves*

I have a set of OGK wheels for a build and I am hoping to make them look as good as possible. The logo 'O.G.K. MADE IN JAPAN'  appears to be part of the molding, possibly stamped but I do not know. My question is when these wheels were new was the logo filled with paint? Left without any further finishing? My wheels have clearly had a lot of wear and the logo is barely legible on the rear and pretty much invisible on the front. Any thoughts?

I've had a few sets and the logo was stamped into the rim but on 2 of the sets over the years the brake pad material had filled it in through years of braking but I was able to pick it out with a scalpel blade and gently wash it all out if you get what I mean?  :daumenhoch:

Thanks for that, nothing like getting first hand experience which is why I asked. From all the images i have viewed it seemed that no further finishing was given to the logo, I had rather hoped that brand new wheels had the logo in white or black; would have been nice.
Thank you again.
