no because the wheel is the same paint under the sticker, if anything they would just need to be cleaned.

right now it looks horrible because they are obviously not the real things. if i were you (and im being nice) i would really take the stickers off and just rock the Grids and rock them as grids instead of trying to make it like i had the real TE37s.

theres nothing wrong with wanting the real thing and not being able to afford it, infact its perfectly acceptable. its just wrong to pass something off as something its not, wasnt or will never be.

do what the subie guys do, run cheap aggressive wheels, but show they are cheap aggressive wheels.

get rid of the volk stickers and get Rota centercaps.

i actually tried to look for rota stickers. I found some but they aren't meant to be on rims. They were just regular stickers. I was supposed to get rota center caps but unfortunately none can fit. The back I can put center caps because theres nothing sticking out. Shops that make decals here in Hawaii are way over priced. The quality isn't all that great. If anyone can find rota centercaps and/or stickers or whatev on the rims plz post a link i'll be glad to take the volks off so u guys can stop cutting me down. I'm just worried that the wheels will be miscolored under the stickers being that they were in the sun a few times.

they wont be discolored unless you leave the stickers on for years.

as for the centercaps the rears will fit no problem but you'll probably need a 3 or 5mm spacer to clear teh axle nut.

I need to do that. I change the sig up so much though. I like to fade mine a little with transparency do give it a clean look.

^08tc how are your VRD's treating you? I really want a pair, and I'm about to order them. I'm not cutting my lip though, I thought maybe I could dremel down the foglight to fit.
