Enkei logo

I'm getting one of my wheels reconditioned (due to a curbing incident), but the rim shop says they cannot put the Enkei logo back on. They're going to clean the wheel by dipping it in acid and 'remanufacturing' it. So is there a way I can buy the Enkei logo application and put it on myself?

they'll make u a vinyl sticker.

But they should have the heavy duty vinyl that won't come off or get messed up...


You could also maybe stencil out the logo off one of the other wheels and try to spray paint it back on the repaired wheel. hehe..

Yea, they're painted on. I don't see how a sticker can last being on the wheel, through car washes, and it getting really hot at times.

I powdercoated my factory wheels and afterward had some silver vinyl Enkei logos (to match my car) made and stuck them back on after the clearcoat. A year and a half later and I have had no problems at all. None have fallen off or faded or anything. I would recommend when you do get them made to have them make a couple extra just in case. Hope this helps.
