hey all, i bought these decals from acromann.com. they are the most commonly referred to on the interwebs as the ones to get, that and dali-racing.com
anyway, i decided to give it a try as my decals on my te37s were flaking off, i managed to salvage one "rays engineering" decals so i could compare it to the reps that i bought
anyway, it cost me us$36.90 which was about aud$42.
after receiving them and comparing them, i noticed that the rep decal has a slight clear border around it, whereas the authentic one is a "full" decal. the rep is also thinner.
here r the decals

here they are compared to the authentic ones, u can see its slightly smaller

overall, for $40, its fine for me, im not prepared to pay thru the nose for real ones, nor jump thru hoops to try and get them. ill look at the dali-racing ones next if i need them

rays dont sell the stickers
because of they dont want anybody sticking their name on fake wheels

so you would of had to get fakes in the end anyway

they sure are, but i thought that others might like some info regarding the acromann ones.
unfortunately, i havent come across any reviews on the decals avail by dali racing, or acromann, so i decided to put this up, i guess people dont want that info
