    @Chasegarrison4 I appreciate all of your feedback! I originally put them on dry and they worked perfectly! If you are good at positioning the decals, then that works great! You must be really good at it! haha

    For those who are not so good or need practice positioning, the wet method is a good place to start since removing a dry decals can cause the vinyl to stretch a lot. Wet decals tend to keep their form if gently removed and repositioned.

    I made a video for those who want to know more about how I do the wet method, how to reduce bubbles, or who just simply have a hard time positioning the decals. I'm very careless, I call my squeegee whatever I feel like at the moment, and my cameraman is 6 years old...but you will atleast get a better idea of how to apply the decals using the wet method! Again, I'm always here to help if anyone ever needs it!

    I installed my replacement set the other day and these ones came out much better than before! When you install them, the wet method is the best way to install these too. There are a few that I know I need to redo but I was too tired at the time to go back. Otherwise I'm a happy camper :bananadance: Thank you @SimplyMuggle for all the help and great customer service!

    @MDTaco15 I don't know if you ever worked with vinyl before.. but its super easy to remove and almost no residue left over... if you do have residue, Goo Gone cleans it right up

    Super easy! To remove, all you have to do is gently lift a corner with your fingernail, then pull on the decal and they come right off! In the video I posted yesterday, I mention that if you slightly overlap the wings then you don't have to peel multiple corners- they all come off in one piece since they are 'attached.' To do that, make sure you place the second piece over the first one so when you peel the first piece it will automatically lift the second, if you do it in reverse (second 'wing' under the first 'wing') it won't come off all together and you will have to remove individually. Overall, it takes less than a minute to peel off, wipe all the residue (if any) with rubbing alcohol and your rim is back to new.

    Its crazy how they stay on so well, yet they are so easy to remove. As long as all the corners and sides are down, you will not have a problem with them coming off! Which is why it's important to make sure you rub it all down good! But, once you lift that corner its super easy to take off!

    If using the wet method,it is important to follow behind with your finger, a squeegee, debit card, anything..etc. to push the water out as you place the decal on your wheel! This will greatly lower the chances of water bubbles! Prevention is key when it comes to bubbles!

    If you do get water bubbles, it's much easier to get them out while your decal is still wet and before you secure your sides and edges. The water bubble will slide out easily when its wet. To do this, gently take a debit card, squeegee, or something that will not damage the decal, and slowly push the water toward the side of the decal (making sure not to go too fast and crease the decal). The water will eventually get to the edges and 'gush' out of the side. Just don't forget to secure your sides and edges after you remove the water bubble.

    If you wait a few minutes until after your decal dries, it will be a lot harder to push out.

    Just a reminder! Do not attempt to put the wheel vinyl on during 100 degree weather! I've done a lot of wheel vinyl in hot weather, but I put some on a wheel in this heat wave and noticed the vinyl felt flimsy, thin, and the adhesive was not sticking well on the edges! Even for me, it was really hard to work with! Once the sun went down and the temperature dropped a bit, it was much easier to do! :)
