hello

like the title states, wondering if anyone knows the exact size of the genuine spoon sports decals that are yellow that come on some sw388. i have genuine sw388 but got into a accident so i lost one, good thing i had a replacement laying around and this one dont got a yellow decal, so imh having someone make it for me but i need the size.

any help is greatly appreciated thanks. ( i already searched around cant find anyone giving the exact size out.

 

Your other three still have the decal don't they? measure those.

 

4"

 

$10 this dude wants to make some stickers for his slips

weren't the stickers only added after a company started importing the wheels ? and spoon didn't actually have any involvement with the stickers ? i could be wrong.

 

the other three were taken off by a friend... but my spoons are a rare model? i believe because i have spoon sports engraved on the spoke where the yellow stickers goes.

 

okay i win give me 10 bucks. stupid ***.

 

Yeah, Spoon never did anything like that. Spoon wheels are anodized black, Opak racing is responsible for the yellow decals. If yours are engraved then they're fake.

No you are correct, Opak racing did the decals AFAIK. Hopefully Spids pops in and confirms.

 

 

i highly doubt they are fake, i know how to tell from fake spoons, i work at a shop that was a authorized dealer for spoon and mugen. AUTOPLUS sportzentium, maybe you have heard of us, use to be in SEMA. the wheels have desmond barrel sticker(authentic) made in russia stamp on the back(authentic) and weigh the albs a real spoon weighs and you can not fake the weight because for that kind of material is very expensive so a knock offf company cant make wheels out of that and sell them for cheap. and at last, i got into an accident(drunk drivers fault) in which my passenger(front) side spoon went into a curb at about 50 mph having my wheel taking most force and my lower control arm snapped while the wheel only took a big *** gash on the spoke and that skinny little spoke didn't snap, and only REAL spoons can handle that impact with out snapping. So forsure i have real spoons, wonder why my spoke has an engraving on it???? mmmmm

 

Wouldn't an employee of a shop that is an "authorized dealer" for Spoon have some sort of contact on how to get said decal?

 

I would like to see a picture of these so called 'engravings' of the Spoon Sports logo on the spoke. Is it possible it's just sticker residue?

 

in4 pics of engraving.

 

Funny because I've seen several spoons and Regamasters hit a pothole and the metal broke.

 

In for this

 

the yellow decals arent from spoon,, and they arent from opak, Inline Four put them on some of the wheels they got

and there should not be any engraving on the face of the spokes

 

There was actually an old Urban Legend back in like 2001-2002, where people swore that older spoon wheels actually came with centercaps and WHITE decals. I have never seen one, but I have seen people vouch that THEY had seen them. There was also some speculation back then that there WAS an engraving on one spoke of the wheels. (I personally don't believe it, just regurgitating old stories).

I would very much like to see a pic of these wheels though, It would be sweet to see a version of the SW388 that nobody knows about.

 

haha looks like we got a good debate going, call me crazy but its definetly an engraving. i never even knew it was there until the decals got ripped off, i was shocked myself. pics will be up tonight!!!

 

sorry i literally just cleaned them like one day ago and so much brake dust is shown with flash=[ also desmond barrel stickers are shown for authenticity and and my ten dollars from some dude up there^^^ haha anyways, so im very curious... how rare are these sw388 with the engravings on it?...

That's not an engraving. That's an old sticker that probably was power washed partially off.

 

wasn't power washed off, it was very carefully taken off by hand. and when u run your hand across it, the mark goes INTO the wheel, does not come out of the spoke like a sticker residue.

 

delete

 

It looks like it was painted with the sticker on it, and then the sticker was peeled off leaving an indentation. Those don't look anodized from the picture I'm looking at. Too glossy, the flash wouldn't reflect on an anodized surface like that.

 

HAH, funnily enough, here's a quote of none other than GK saying he has seen old spoon wheels with white logos. And he's so old Jesus owes him 5 bux.
