Phoned the company this morning to enquire about replacement spoke stickers for a set of wheels I've acquired.

 

http://www.speedlinecorse.co.uk/

 

Tel: 01952 582825

 

 

Spoke to a bloke called David who couldn't have been more helpful.  He explained that the wheels were originally pad printed and not stickered but that they do offer stickers given that the only way of having them pad printed after a refurb is to send them off to Italy.  

 

Set of four new stickers on their way free of charge (not even postage)!

 

Also enquired about replacement centre caps.  Centre caps are a two piece construction.  They can do the cap and badge for £9 each (delivered) or £4 for just the badge (delivered).  

 

What a great company to do business with and avoids buying ebay knock-off crap!  And for info the knock-off centre caps on ebay cost more than the originals direct from speedline!

I have had exactly the same great service on numerous occasions with Speedline, interesting that they have to be sent off to Italy to be pad printed, I imagine there must be a company somewhere in the UK capable of doing it.

24 hours after ordering the stickers and new caps arrived!  

 

Copy sticker on the left, genuine ones on the right.  Easy to tell the difference when put together like this.

I'm sure there must be a company that could pad print the wheels Tom, but 1) would they be willing to infringe trademark and 2) look at the comparison between knock-off and ebay stickers above.  Not sure I'd want to risk having crap printed on my wheels.  

 

What Speedline UK is saying is that they don't offer a printing service in the UK.

New stickers, centre caps and tyres (AD08Rs) applied to the wheels yesterday and then put the wheels on the car.  Really pleased with the look.

Cheers Mark.  I was getting bored with the look of my black Turbo wheels so it was either put the original silver set back on and struggle with tyre choice or bite the bullet and go down the 16/17 route.  I've never been a fan of TDs and didn't think black speedlines would suit the car.  So when these came up for sale I decided to take a gamble.

Im with you on the TDs. I would rather stick with the standard N/As tbh. The speed lines are my favourite followed by the ats dtc. The silver works well with the windscreen surrond and fuel cap.
