Does anyone know where to find Regamaster Desmond in white 18x9.5 and 18x10.5 <--- (WTB)!
Is it a big deal if I buy one that has been powder coated which is the reason the Desmond sticker is missing?
I just dont want to buy it if that takes away from the value of the wheels because I know there are replica's to this floating around out there.

In my personal preference on wheels like this i will be fine with powder coated as it is used wheels and expect to find it used with curb rash if not scratches. Desmond had have these wheel discontinued. I bought the authentic sticker for my regamaster but have also made a full 100% replica of it down to the special marking to place the lip decals as im not remotely ready to put the authentic stickers on the wheels. No one can tell the stickers was replicated once it was applied. of course it is better not powdercoated and original finished without any defect but those will be hard to find.
the value of these wheels will hold as its an iconic wheel and the main copy is the Rota Slipstreams. Just make sure the wheel is stamped Made in Russia and you are golden for authenticity!
Also i say if you do find a set that is mint and unused i would just store it like gold =p

What kind of lugnuts are you guys using? I'm waiting for spring to put the wheels on, but I am curious to see what kind of lugnut everyone uses. I was told to use an open lug, but that's debatable apparently.
