Would you send these back or go for a partial refund and new set of stickers?

 Is it the position and orientation of the stickers that don't match the original?
 If they're stickers, you just need to buy new ones and replace them, but it seems to me they're painted, right?
 It's still a copy, so it's normal that it doesn't look exactly like the original, hahaha ::)

Bingo. The bottom stickers are good but the BLACKINK and the BI are in the wrong places.
my friend got these build with proper DT180 hubs, how they managed to get the stickers on wrong is beyond me. otherwise, great quality build wheelset.
Not sure whether to return or just ask for new stickers. I told him to return these because it will a real pain to put the stickers on properly.

Actually, I went to see these today. Seem like they completely messed up the front wheel. All the stickers are in the wrong places and the 48-50 are not even aligned with the valve hole.
To me this is something that once seen, cannot be unseen.

I would use a hairdryer. Chances are the decals come off clean.

He decided to send them back. One less fake item out there if you ask me is a good thing.

Round 2... from Yoho this time. Hoping I was just unlucky last time and there are no issues here. Frame should be shipping soon.

Update on my frame with some pictures. The inside walls look clean and neat. The frame itself, with all the screws and derailleur hangers weights 1142g in size 58, the fork is 426g, seat post 204g and the black inc 420/90 replica handlebar is 370g.
