    Those don't look like the real lettering on a Campy wheel for starters. Should be individual black letters. Your wheels might have been refurbished at some point and they put these decals on. Also, get your alignment shop to put the wheel weights behind the spokes. You will like it better.

    Those look like stickers, which would not be correct. People usually put those on after a wheel has been refinished. They left the factory with all the lettering painted on. Stencils for this are out there, but fairly difficult to find. This is what they should look like:

    I'll try and help out! I can't recall if I found them through here or through another source, so I need to check my messages and email. I'll try and do that today then send you a message with what I find.

    Hi,
    I'd very much like a set of stencils too, if anyone is selling or knows where they are for sale! It would be nice to have the Ferrari / campagnolo / wheel sizes properly applied to my refinished wheels.
    Cheers

    I'm waiting to hear from the guy who has the stencils, but he doesn't have 6 1/2. i'll let you know more when i find out. they say you need to get someone who can do this with a silk screen technique...i guess a rattle can is out. s

    Silk screen would be the best way by far, but I haven't found a set of stencils for that. Creating the frame and everything would be a whole lot of work. However with the sticker stencils, airbrush is the best route (as opposed to spray paint). Although, brushing it on by hand might work even better with the sticker stencils. Haven't decided what route I'm going, but I've got time as I still need to refinish the wheels.
