Restored Evo 8 Enkeis

It was time to restore life back to my original Enkeis that came on my Evo 8. After 150k miles they were very much ready to be restored haha. I work for an autobody so I have access to a paint mixing station as well as thousands of tint cards to test colors. This was the closest I was able to get it, and man its pretty spot on! I was also able to order exact match Enkei decals from a sticker shop on Etsy. After stripping the wheels down, they were re sealed, painted, decals applied then sealed up with 3 coats of clear! Im very pleased with the outcome and just wanted to share my little weekend project with you guys! Enjoy!

Hey sorry for the late reply! - I used a company called "Sticker Stop" on Etsy. I believe the seller is on ebay as well, he also does the Brembo decals for the calipers!
