Default can you believe this s&%t? Volk/RAYS decals??

Hi all, you are not going to believe it but...someone has stolen (almost all of) the Volk Racing/RAYS Engineering decals/stickers from my 19" bronze TE-37 ...yes this is ITALY I'm afraid...it is even harder to believe given there's only about 1000 Zs in the whole country...now, here's the question: anyone know where I could get replacements? I have tried getting in touch a while back with Steve@evolution where I got the rims but no answer...please HELP!

Talking of the valve caps I got with the rims, well they are still in the box. I know for a fact they WILL get nicked by some *** over here. So here's what my valves look like (basically there is NO valve and you need a special piece for checking/filling with air). Thanks Chebosto, I'll PM him

And here for the valve stems:

Goodluck. BTW Performance Nissan Parts can get the valve stems..the stickers..not too sure. Sorry to hear about both of your losses though. That sucks big time for both of you. Are your rims okay though?? Werent scratched I hope.

Thanks for the link man. Rims are OK, valve stems and caps are still in the box for fear they will get stolen...I've had to fit the special part you see in the pic (chrome) so that I can be sure no one takes my valves away!

how does one steal the valve stems?

+1 on the valve caps, I took'em off 1/2 an hour after I installed my wheels cause I know they're going to get stolen.

Those stickers are close but not eactly like the real ones.. I bought some ebay volk stickers to replace some ones that were flaking off my old TE's and they are not the same quailty wise either.. All I did was sprayed it once with a pressure hose and the thing went flying off!!

Ahhh sorry about that. I knew that they were not originals as the description on the site does indeed cite that. Thought that maybe they would be just as good. Sorry to hear that they were not. Hopefully the valvestems are okay though.

Guess everyone would need to go to Mackin for the originals then...but would they sell it to us?

Well you need to contact the dealer you got it from.. But rays is really hard about selling the sticker to anyone.. If you can take pix and have proof of it coming off then we can sell it to you.. You can contact Mackin first or contact your dealer...
