Default Wheel decal help (applying)

So I bought some works, and they came with decals. So I put the decals on where the instructions told me, however they do not want to adhere to the wheel very easily. When I try to pull the film off of the decal, the decal trys to come with it. The wheels are brand new and they are clean so I dont know Should I pass over it a few times with a heat gun?

Any help would be appreciated As for now all 4 wheels have all the decals on them with the film still over the decals lol.

I would read the instructions on how, but they are in Japonese. I can't read Japonese

Btw I searched and all I found was where you buy the decals.

did you use any water or lubricant to apply them? Just place them and either let them dry before you peel off the backing or try applying them without any water substance.

if you don't mind the decal being permanent(possibly ruining the finish underneath) you could use a small amount of spray adhesive on the decal, and then place it on the wheel.

Did you clean the spot with rubbing alcohol first?

New wheels are not clean. A little soap and water will remove any residue.

Yeah I cleaned them with some alcohol just before applying each decal. I didnt use any water or anything. The alcohol was dried before I put them on.

I let them sit overnight. Maybe they just needed time to adhere well? I guess Ill figure out in about 5 mins lol.
