I've just obtained a NOS pair of Ritchey Vantage Comp rims to use on my Alpinestars Al Mega DX build, but the decals are different to what originally came on the bike. I have the original rims (which some of you may remember I went to the painstaking task of getting replica original spec decals made for) but I really don't know what to do with these NOS rims...
Keep the original decals (stars n stripes look great, but not OE) or peel them off and re-sticker them with the pink & yellow ones? :shock: I suppose it boils down to whether they look okay as they are (being a different decal) or whether I should even contemplate peeling those decals off and replacing them with a "replica" decal?
Opinions valued. Cheers
Original vs replica rim decals (91 spec):

The NOS rim decals (possibly 89/90 spec?):
