Strip the axles/bearings out of them and send them to SBD  :daumenhoch:

The ones pictures below were pretty grubby before dan got his hands on them  ;)

The white rims in my picture are NOS so the decals are original.

This idea on ebay is better than the stickers you get for the rims (and cheaper!)

i bought some of these stencils and to be honest they were sh1t. they're really hard to stick down and the paint gets under the stencil making it look like a blob, i then had to clean the paint off and re-dye the wheels and then buy the stickers.. a right pain in the arse. hope this helps

i bought some z-rim decals recently off del and they stick a treat  :daumenhoch:
