Help me find some gumballs

Planning on putting in some track time this Summer and instead of going the blue masking tape route I'd like to put something on the car with a bit more class.

Does anyone know where to find these number roundels? Big fan of specifically the typeface used.

Hello - I'm not familiar with a single source, but if you google "circular vinyl race car numbers", you'll get a lot of populated results. Most sites allow you to customize the size, font, color, shape, etc... hope this helps you out.

do you want the adhesive backed ones or the ones you apply with a little water that adhere statically and can be removed and replaced as needed?

I'd be happy with either, I think that the typeface is going to bit trickier to track down.

Got mine at Squire Design. They’re static cling. I mounted with some soapy water and they’ve stuck well for multiple track events.

I went to a sign maker and had them done as magnets. Worked fine

For the font, check out “city medium” and “city light.”

I would buy some white vinyl from ebay and make my own. Its easier and a hell of alot cheaper than trying to find what you want

I just go to my local sign printer for that stuff. They have a white vinyl that has adhesive but comes off easier than traditional vinyl. All sorts of options. That would probably cost $50-60 around here and done in a day.
