WTF - Nismo 18's 'nismo' sticker coming off??
Damnit. I've got the 18in nismo rims and it turns out that thing that says nismo on it is just a freaking STICKER? I noticed my drive rear rim this morning is flacking - that sticker is coming off. WTF?? Why the hell would that be a STICKER? Is there anything I can do because this looks like crap.

Dude, its $5 for a replacement. Don't worry about it.

In the future, keep away from the vinyl when you're washing/drying the wheels and they won't fall off.

stickers do come off...
i started a whole thread on why Rays (and other expensive wheel manufacturer's) use stickers.
if you're that concerned, like I am, just buy wheels that are engraved or void of cheap adhesives next time

Another way to go is just to peel them off all of the wheels.
I take mine to the touchless car wash in the winter and get the "hub scrub" package and they are still doing fine *Knocks on wood*
I think when mine do start to peel off, I'll just take them all off.

(I got the car a week ago and already been hit, so I was pissed to see the rims messed up too!)
I use high pressure rinse and soap and then hand 'scrub' it. I actually remember looking at the nismo part on the rim thinking it WAS engraved and being all impressed

Ah ha! That's exactly what it is. Guess I'll order new stickers.

Yea, I did. Ordered them from Performance Nissan. Cleaned the wheel each time. They just won't stick *Shrug*... they won't even stick to anything as a matter of fact.. plastic/metal/my fridge.. nothing. I also can't even peel them off with my fingers.
