glad you like them Ron,

and as an FYI, tj wanted a couple extras since he perfected his installation, and even though I throw in a couple extra to begin with, two more are headed his way tomorrow. When you buy from me, its a lifetime mod, without additional charges for replacements down the road.

can I get a replacement set but this time in white letters lol jk. I am planning on powder coating the wheels and will buy again from you when I do.

Mike 03-24-2011 09:10 PM

I'll take care of you!

Mike,

I received the Nismo vinyl pieces today. What is the best way to put them on?

I did one wheel while I was home at lunch. I cleaned the surface first with water and a cloth. Then I dried it with another cloth. Next I applied a lite mist of water so that I could move the vinyl pieces around once I put them on the wheel. Once I got them in place I padded them dry with a cloth. Would using a hair dryer rather than a mist of water help the process? Thanks for your assistance.

I found this was the best way to do it. Just clean the wheels real well and dry. Then remove the letter, and use a razor blade to position the letter on as perfect as you can and press it on with your fingers. Just lightly stick the letter at the furthest edge of the blade so you can easily remove it from the blade when you stick it on. If the letter is not on right, you can remove it and re-apply. The razor blade works great for this as you can use the blade to carefully lift up the edge and remove.

Thanks TJ. I was using my exacto knife to do just what you are describing about the razor blade on the first wheel. I'll try that without using any water on the next wheel and see how it works. I just had a hard time on the first wheel getting the vinyl exactly where I wanted it. The wheel being slightly wet helped me better move it just where I wanted it.

Here are my Nismo wheels with Mike's lettering. My wheels aren't very clean, but you can see what the vinyl lettering does for them.
