Market test for interest in Octavo 100* wheel center stickers

[ossodiseppia]

Price: $20

Location: Broomfield, CO

Description:

Hi Folks,

 

Someone with an Alfa Romeo has these wheels on their car.  And, for sentimental reasons, he would like to keep the wheels.  I've been asked to reproduce the logo so as to have some stickers made.  An image that was posted on this forum has been used to create the graphics.  I've attached some files to show that the work is pretty accurate.  Each of the pedals was hand drawn to look like the original.

 

I'm hoping to have these printed on an aluminum foil using anodized inks.  As I do not have originals of these, the colors will not be exactly the same, but should be close.

 

As of yet, I do not have a price quote from the printer.  I will update this post as soon as I do.  I'm looking to see if there is interest.

 

Folks, I realize I am a first time poster.  I have a pretty good reputation on the AlfaBB forum.  You can search me out with the same member name to check my reputation.  Thank you for looking.

I will vouch for Brian's work, I have bought his Alfa decals and they are nothing but the very best.  Brian really goes the extra yard to make things are very correct.  Go for it Brian, you should hit the E9 and early 911 registry sites as well

 

Thanks, Rick

Funny how the same people pop up on different forums.  :-)  Thank you for the vote of support, Rick.  And, thank you for suggesting the other two forums.

I'm sorry, I cannot help with the caps.  I'm just a sticker guy.

I'm in for a set.

[SydneyTii]

@SydneyTii, can you please post a link?  Better yet, do you have a picture of the caps?

Sorry I just checked and can't find their website any more, I believe there are certain BMW caps that fit, do an Octavo wheels search on all content, as this has been discussed before. Good luck.

I've heard back from the printer, finally.  I'm going to have 10 sets of 4 printed.  The cost shipped to your door will be $30.

 

So, I'm going to need some firm commitments before I pull the trigger.

BUMP!

I have a set of these wheels (unrestored) and one very fine center cap.  I'd be interested in a set of decals, with the hope that someday I can find 3 more caps.  

[ossodiseppia]

GREAT!  Thanks, @eastsidebimmer.  I would love to see a really high res picture of the center cap.  The company that will do the printing will be printing on aluminum foil.  The inks might have sort of a translucent appearance.  I want to make sure that is what the logo is suppose to look like.

[SydneyTii]

Did this ever go anywhere? Cheers.

[ossodiseppia]

Not yet.  There's just not enough interest.  I need to get commitments for at least 10 sets before I pull the trigger.  So far, there has been interest in only 4 sets.

 

I would really like to do this, but I need more interest.

This is funny, that's actually my photo of the wheel center cap and somewhere I have the original rastor of this. These were the first batch I had made up and I sold a few off. Unfortunately I could never find anyone local to do a better run (with the logo better centered). Kuddos for you for taking this on!

 

On a side note, it wouldn't be too hard to have someone make new centercaps for these. I have a repop set and in theory it would be a simple piece to reproduce as it's pretty much just a deep draw.
