have you tried a hair dryer yet? use that with some goo gone and you'll be good up.

hehe thats exactley what i was doing.... its still takes awhile though :depressed:

a heat gun would work better, but it'l' still probably take the wheels a little longer to heat up compared to the body of the car so patience is also needed. :chinese:

Yes this is the best thing to do, I did this tonight when I took my graphics off my car. Like Rudy said be patient and you'll be ok

Heat gun works ten times faster than a hair dryer. Be careful with the goo gone products though not too much it can remove paint. Right after you do it wash it all off good.

yo i answered this? befor check it out though astro pneumatic co. or aka AP part#
ao400e its called the smart eraser pad stripe remover the add says it removes stripes an decals with no burning or discoloration of your paint. i have two of these pads they hook up to any drill and they work! i removed the gay ass pink and blue pin striping from my 94 excel in less than 20 minutes and i can not tell that i ever had any stupid ass stickers on my car. so befor you go wreckin your rims or melting glue with a heat gun try these pads cause they work

DSweet, where did you get those decals you have on your rims right now? THey look pretty cool. I never thought of putting decals on a wheel.
TYLER :duh:

Other than online and buying a case of them where in the heck do you get one of those. I heard that 3M made one but I couldn't find that either. I will more than likely be removing the stipes in the spring and need a wheel because I started to do it by hand and it would take days!!!! Any help on where to get one???? I have checked all of the local decal and stripe shops and paint suppliers along with local auto shops. I think some of them know but don't want to tell me becuase they all say "Well I can do it for you for a nominal fee......" Yeah WHATEVER....:dead:

Oh well I tried to put an html character in here but it didn't work....
