Default BrombacherFVD Wheel Decal - who can reproduce?

I know this is group that appreciates fine details, I have been trying to locate new Brombacher FVD wheel decals. I contacted Work and they said they sold the license for these to cargraphic years ago, Cragraphic doesn’t market them as Brombacher’s anymore.

Work has the Brombacher only decals but I don’t want to settle. Any ideas (I am in Tampa FL if that matters!). Thanks all

I too am interested in reproducing these decals as I have a set of old-school FVD Brombacher wheels by WORKS that are ready for a refinish.

Same here. At some point I am going to take the centers out and get the barrels stripped down and refinished as the clear coat needs some love.

I called Brombacher in Germany a while back and they don't have them. We will have to do a custom run of laser cut stickers... On my wheels there is a Brombacher logo in white and Porsche logo in red.

WORK has the white Brombacher ones just without the “FVD part”. I ordered those (cost me $40!?) should get them any day now,
ill let you know how they look when I get them . That red Porsche logo is awesome! Do you have any other pictures showing both logos and the orientation? Could you take a measurement of those? Height and length, those will Probably be easier since it’s a popular logo to reproduce. Must have!

If any of you know the font used for the Brombacher and Porsche letters stickers will be easy to make. My designer at work makes large stickers for marketing events so making small ones is the same thing. He can create a digital file we can send to a laser cut vinyl sticker shop to have made any number of them and they are cheap...

Might be easiest to trace the original on a rim, scan, and digitize it. My wheels are in storage, but I’m willing to dig them out and give it a shot.

That was my last resort... I'm too OCD to not get it perfect with the original font. Let me get my designer on this. He may be able to find the font for us.

That would be awesome. I got the Brombacher stickers in hand not sure if that would help.

Can you take a picture of it and send me a copy? High-resolution, good light, nice and level... etc. I can use that to convert it to a digital file that can be laser cut. Another Rennlister graciously shared a Porsche one we can use to make a logo for the wheel lips and if you want a stencil for the brake calipers to paint it on. Doing a brake caliper paint job next once I get my rear suspension done.

I have a JPEG and XPS high resolution, PM me your email address and i will send them. used a professional copy/scanner because it will give the scale? I am back in town, have the stickers with me at work today so let me know what you need.
